    About this ebook

    Brad Templeton was tired of all the hoopla of Christmas with his rich family, so he did the unthinkable and bought a house in a small town to see how the other half celebrated the holiday. He didn't expect to stay long, but once he met Angela Marker and her father, Bill, he found the true meaning of Christmas and love.

      About the Author

      Chapter One

      Brad Templeton half listened to his mother on the phone as she described yet again how beautiful the decorations were the servants had put up for her this year. Every year she had a new color scheme and he thought she'd overdone it this year with the red. He wanted to tell her what the mansion looked like to him as he drove up to it last night to drop off Christmas presents for her and his dad and brother, but had refrained from doing so.

      His family commented to him many times about being a scrooge. Not in the way of money, for he spent thousands on Christmas presents and received expensive gifts back, but he'd like to spend a Christmas where those gifts was appreciated.

      His mom's voice caught his wayward thoughts. I'll let you know what I'm doing on Christmas day, mom. I may not be in town. Love you, he said, and switched off the phone. He didn't mean to be rude, but he knew his mother wouldn't let the matter drop and he didn't feel like arguing with her. She usually won, but not this time.

      He pressed a button on the phone and told his secretary to come into his office. When Gail Lighton walked in, he ignored her come hither looks and
