    It’s like Christmas exploded here in the small town, way too merry for me. I’m a disfigured war vet who prefers to keep a low profile and my own company, and I’d like to keep it that way. My work contract has me in Eden for a month. My plan is to get out of here before Christmas, to leave this too-happy town, and never look back. What I hadn’t planned on was Maddison.MaddisonChristmas is an awful time of year for me. I had to leave a good job and return to Eden to look after my father who hasn’t known a sober day since Mom’s death.

He’s surly and brooding and knows even less holiday cheer than me…but maybe I can fix that.

    It has been a sucky, sucky year...She got dumped...She's still stuck selling over-priced clothes to idiots...and, of course, she had to work on Christmas Eve eve.

It has been a crappy, crappy year...He's all alone...The well-meaning villagers of Little Bamton are driving him potty...and, of course, Christmas was always his wife's favourite time of year.But now he's on his way down to the village pub for one last appearance before hiding-out in his cabin until the New Year.

    She’s driven, energetic, and a positive thinker. She has a great career working for famed self-help guru Ian Fortune, she lives in a cute studio apartment in Manhattan, and her family is supportive and loving (albeit a little kooky). Her life is perfect. Absolutely wonderful. Except for one tiny little thing.After a decade of disastrous relationships and an infertility diagnosis, Gemma doesn’t want a Mr. Right (or even a Mr. Right Now), she just wants a baby.And all she needs is an egg, some sperm, and IVF.So Gemma makes a New Year’s resolution: have a baby.Josh Lewenthal is a laid back, relaxed, find-the-humor-in-life kind of guy. The polar opposite of Gemma. He’s also her brother’s best friend. For the past twenty years Josh has attended every Jacobs’ family birthday, holiday, and event – he’s always around. Gemma knows him. He’s nice (enough), he’s funny (-ish), he’s healthy (she thinks) and he didn’t burn any ants with a magnifying glass as a kid. Which, in Gemma’s mind, makes him the perfect option for a sperm donor.So Gemma wants to make a deal. An unemotional, businesslike arrangement. No commitments, just a baby.To Gemma’s surprise, Josh agrees.They have nothing in common, except their agreement to make a baby and their desire to keep things businesslike.But the thing about baby-making…it’s hard to keep it businesslike, it’s nearly impossible to keep it unemotional, and it’s definitely impossible to keep your heart out of the mix. Because when you’re making a baby together, things have a way of starting to feel like you’re making other things too – like a life, and a family, and love. And when the baby-making ends, you wish that everything else didn’t have to end too.
