No more secrets / by Score, Lucy,author.;
"Carter Pierce isn't interested in being fixed up. This wounded ex-soldier just wants to enjoy the peace and quiet of his quirky small town. Too bad that solitude is about to be interrupted by big-city, workaholic journalist, Summer Lentz. Sprung on him by his own mother, she's there to write a story about his family farm. Thanks, Mom. Carter sees the interruption as a barely tolerable irritation. The town sees it as the perfect matchmaking opportunity. Under the watchful eyes of every Blue Mooner, Carter grudgingly agrees to let Summer stay ... under his roof. Every single thing about her -- from her perky questions to her designer wardrobe to those kissable lips -- gets under his skin. While his brothers have been happy to let him heal his wounds in solitude, Summer seems hell-bent on digging up the truth ... without sharing her own. She's not there to spill her life story to a sexy, scowling blue collar stranger. And she's certainly not planning to fall in love with Blue Moon and its spirited shenanigans. She has a job, a life, an apartment in New York. Carter throws her headfirst into farm life in hopes of sending the curious journalist packing. But he can't help but notice the mysterious Summer doesn't just stick, she flourishes. His single brothers notice it too, leaving Carter no choice but to stake his temporary claim. As these two dance around their reluctant mutual attraction, the town's attempts to pair them off permanently reach ridiculous heights and have them questioning everything they thought they knew. But when Summer's story takes an unexpected turn, will they be willing to rewrite the ending together?"--

Evan is delighted to see the trees, the lights, and even snow, but he<U+2019>s a little worried that the parade might not be complete. How will Santa know he needs to visit so early?

Death & other inconveniences / by Crewe, Lesley,1955-author.;
"Well, Dick's dead. Now what? Margo, his widow, is trying to dodge the tsunami of paperwork coming her way. She doesn't want to deal with the details--why do you think she was married in the first place? Dick always handled the drudgery. Monty, Margo's ex-husband (the first one, not the dead one), is trying to support Margo--who seems to be finally entering adulthood at the tender age of sixty-two. Their daughter Julia knows Margo needs her, but between work complications, house complications, and genius-yet-useless son complications, Julia's gasping for air already. Dead Dick's ex-wife Carole and their daughter Velma consider Margo a maneater thanks to a few long-ago indiscretions, so the funeral is a nightmare. Life in New Brunswick lately is a tornado of siblings, children, pets, marriages, health issues, and endless bureaucracies. And at the centre of it all is Margo, living alone for the very first time, trying to endure everyone else's judgements about the woman she is when she doesn't even know herself. Maybe a cat will help. (The cat doesn't help.) How old do you have to be to come of age? ... and has anyone seen Dick's will? With humour and heart, national bestseller Lesley Crewe walks readers through the incredibly disruptive domino effects of the death of one unremarkable man."--
