Book Description
In 1897, eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote the New York Sun to ask a simple question: Is there a Santa Claus? The editor's response was a stirring defense of hope, generosity, and the spirit of childhood. His essay has been reprinted countless times since, and the phrase "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" has become part of American Christmas lore. Based on these actual events, Yes, Virginia is the story of a little girl who taught a city to believe.

Book Description
It's going to take more than a few pieces of chocolate to fill this Scrooge's heart with Christmas cheer. Luckily Candice Cane has a whole shop full... Candice Cane is not proud of the way she acted after her last encounter with Jackson Frost. Sure revenge was fun, but it's left Jackson standing, angry and looking for answers, on the welcome mat in her chocolate shop. Now he's after some revenge of his own. Jackson returned to his small hometown for one reason and one reason only...so he's not sure how he's ended up in a Santa suit in the middle of a chocolate shop, at the behest of its beautiful owner, instead of high–tailing it back to the city as fast as he can. Jackson wants nothing to do with his small town past, but Candice shows him what he didn't even know he'd been missing. Can a bit of Christmas magic heal old wounds and offer up a future neither saw coming?
