The Brightest Star - by Fern Michaels

Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and readers who can’t get enough
Hallmark movies, this special Christmas treat will warm your heart just in
time for the cozy holiday season. A sparkling new novel from #1 New York
Times bestselling author Fern Michaels is exactly what you need to get in the
spirit of the season.
Christmas is more than just a celebration for Lauren Montgomery. For generations, it’s
been her family’s livelihood. Their Christmas shop, Razzle Dazzle Décor, has seen
seasonal fads come and go, but there’s one trend they can’t escape. Online superstores
are swallowing their sales, and this Christmas season will need to be their best ever if
the store is to stay in business.
To help keep the shop afloat, Lauren also has a sideline, writing biographies for
business figures. She’s thrilled when her literary agent contacts her with a new
proposal—before learning that the subject will be none other than John Gerald
Giompalo. He’s the titan behind Globalgoods.com, the online retailer that has spelled
doom for hundreds of small businesses just like Razzle Dazzle Décor. Despite her
misgivings, Lauren travels to Seattle to confer with the mogul, and is caught off guard
when his son, John Jr., attends the meeting too. Handsome, intelligent, and deeply
kind, he’s perfect—apart from the fact that he’s part of the company threatening
everything Lauren loves.
As her deadline, and Christmas, draw closer, Lauren knows that there’s more than her
family’s shop at stake. Her heart is, too. But there’s no better time than the holidays to
make a secret wish on the brightest star you see—and let the season’s magic take hold
