- Baker & Taylor
Desperate to reinvigorate her career, a Detroit mergers & acquisitions executive must convince her aging parents to sell their iconic Michigan Christmas store by the start of the New Year but when she reconnects with the magic of the store, her parents and the holidays, her misguided plan backfires. - Harlequin
With unabashed winter charm, The Wishing Bridge sparkles with the humor and heart fans of Kristy Woodson Harvey, Nancy Thayer and Jenny Colgan love most.
Once the hottest mergers and acquisitions executive in the company, Henrietta Wegner can see the ambitious and impossibly young up-and-comers gunning for her job. When Henriâs boss makes it clear sheâll be starting the New Year unemployed unless she can close a big deal before the holidays, Henri impulsively tells him that she can convince her aging parents to sell Wegnerâsâtheir iconic Frankenmuth, Michigan, Christmas storeâto a massive, soulless corporation. Itâs the kind of deal cool, corporate Henri has built her career on.
Home for the holidays has typically meant a perfunctory twenty-four-hour visit for Henri, then back to Detroit as fast as her car will drive her. So turning up at the Wegnerâs offices in early December raises some eyebrows: from her delighted, if puzzled, parents to her suspicious brother and curious childhood friends. But as Henri fields impatient texts from her boss while reconnecting with the magic of the store and warmth of her hometown, what sounded great in the boardroom begins to lose its luster in real life. Sheâs running out of time to pull the trigger on what could be the greatest success of her career…or the most awkward family holiday of her life.
Includes the bonus novella Christmas Angels
