Christmas Charms

Ashley’s supposed to be having the Christmas of her dreams. After four years of working at an upscale jewelry store in Manhattan, she’s finally going to get a little velvet box of her own—from her boyfriend Jeremy, who’s taking her on a romantic trip to Paris. What could go wrong?

Well, everything.

Ashley heads home to Owl Lake instead, falling asleep on the train ride there…and waking up with a beautiful antique charm bracelet on her wrist. Soon, she realizes that each silver charm predicts an event that happens in real life. What does this mean for her and Jeremy…or her and Aidan, her former high school boyfriend, who’s now a local firefighter? Is there still a chance that she could have the perfect Christmas?

In Christmas Charms, it’s tradition for the James’ household to bake and deliver Christmas cookies to the firefighters. As a thank-you gift to her old flame Aidan for rescuing her, Ashley joins in on this tradition and tries to replicate her mother’s recipe with mixed results. These Spiced Walnut Crust Cookies with Chocolate Ganache and Sea Salt are so easy to make that even Ashley could make them successfully, and so good you’ll want to start your own holiday tradition of sharing them with your friends, family, and loved ones.
