Santa and company - fern michaels

Friends since high school, four 30-something women reunite for a Christmas skip trip filled with a few unexpected bumps--and lots of laughter - in this humorous, heartwarming celebration of female friendship from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels.

When longtime friends Amy, Frankie, Rachael and Nina reunited for a holiday singles cruise, it not only deepened their bond, it changed their lives.

Now theyre getting together for another adventure, and what better winter setting than a fabulous ski lodge? Crisp snow and fresh air by day, cozy fires and delicious food by night, capped off by meeting up with their significant others for a New Years Eve celebration--its perfect.

At least, its perfect until Frankie decides to go snowshoeing alone.

When she twists her ankle right after losing her phone in the snow, Frankie wonders how shell be able to summon help--only to be rescued by a reclusive Grizzly Adams lookalike who lives nearby and introduces himself as Troy Manchester.

Troy saves the day by helping the injured Frankie back to the ski lodge, but in the process, encounters a part of the L.

life hes tried to leave behind.

Nina, visiting the gift shop to buy magazines for a recuperating Frankie, is similarly shocked to glimpse someone to whom she was once connected.

Even in this unlikely spot, it seems theres no way to avoid their pasts.

And as the mischievous Rachael and her sidekick Amy go to great lengths to patch up old friendships and spread the spirit of the season, the New Year may contain all kinds of new beginnings.
