Considering that her name is Merry Noel Blake and she was born on Christmas Day, it s not surprising that Frost, Minnesota s newest resident is crazy about the holiday. She has singlehandedly convinced the entire town to help her turn Frost into a Christmas destination; there are decorations on every corner, a life-size nativity, the lutefisk dinner at church, and Merry s own holiday boutique. So imagine her excitement when a man named Jack Frost walks into her shop one day Jack might be rich and handsome, but the weather seems to chill by a few more degrees when he arrives in town. For Jack has come back to reclaim his family s land despite the fact that it is home to many of Frost s residents. Worse, he has deep, personal reasons for spurning holiday festivities and is determined to cut the town s Christmas spectacle down to size. But Merry believes that below Jack s frosty exterior is a warm heart and that she is the one to thaw it.
