Box Set 1: Christmas, Actually
The collection that began the series! And it all started with Anna Adams, Melinda Curtis, and Anna J. Stewart sharing a love of the movie Love, Actually (which has several connected romance storylines and we consider a must see).
The Banning siblings are in need of a little magic this holiday season, the kind that brings love and happy-ever-afters. There's Jack, a trauma surgeon who would prefer working to dealing with memories of his time in service. Then there's Callie, a grade school teacher who's trying to fill the void left by her mother and volunteering too much around town. And finally, there's Nick, one of the town's handymen. He's got an unrequited crush on the owner of The Tea Pot and is going to great lengths to get a date with her this Christmas.
