description: THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS
  
  Leigh Cathcart became a believer when her college sweetheart's marriage proposal arrived with her Christmas mail delivered by a Santa Claus look-alike--about two decades after it had been sent.
  
  Celebrating Christmas at the Briarcliff, Leigh was caught up in the gala holiday wedding of her daughter. And then, on Christmas Eve, an unexpected guest joined the festivities.
  
  Suddenly, Leigh felt breathless, a little giddy. Was it the ageless charm of the North Carolina inn ... the snow falling softly on Briarcliff Mountain ... or the unsettling presence of her first love?
  
  The magic of the season was seductive ... and so were Russ Thornton's eyes. But suddenly, Leigh felt threatened--would Russ discover the secret she'd been guarding within her heart for twenty years?
