A HUSBAND IN HER STOCKING

SANTA LEFTWHAT?

Meghan Carroll said bah-humbug to Santa Claus and Christmas, until Santa's elves deposited a very handsome stranger on her doorstep. She'd sworn off men and marriage, and Kyle Murdock looked like another heartbreak-in-waiting. But with a blizzard raging, Ms. Scrooge had no choice but to usher him in.

The once-lonely, snowbound farmhouse became hotter than a greenhouse full of poinsettias as they smooched under the mistletoe and snuggled in front of the fire. Meghan never wanted the Christmas fantasy that Kyle had created to end, but the snow had stopped and he had to leave. Without a little holiday magic, she'd have another blue, blue Christmas.
