One ancient well. Two wishes. Christmas is looming, and rumors circulate that the reclusive owner of Dicken’s Chronicle is terminating the paper, leaving editor-in-chief Madeline St. Vincent reeling. Desperate to save the vital community business from closure, she’s willing to do almost anything, even jokingly tossing a few coins in the local wishing well. Madeline is known as “Mad” by her colleagues because work comes before anything else. Being alone, except for her playful Pomeranian, Charlie, she dislikes the holiday season, and when her ex-fiancé arrives back in town, he reminds her why. Billionaire Ben Walker, son of the owner of Dicken’s Chronicle, wants to sell the newspaper because he believes it’s a source of stress for his old man. In his opinion, there’s no sound business reason to save the silly gossip pages. His ailing father, however, demands Ben spend time at the tabloid before any final decision is made. Left with no choice, Ben agrees but working alongside his gorgeous but tough-as-nails ex, Madeline, is not easy, especially when it’s clear, she still blames him for the break-up, which isn’t true. It will take more than an impromptu kiss under the mistletoe to heal the rift of the past. When the full story emerges surrounding their split, will Ben have a change of heart concerning the fate of the Dicken’s Chronicle ?
