Angelique MacDuff paused as the knot in her stomach tightened. Across the pavement of Bright Seas’ Main Street, the shop waited, but whether it beckoned or warned her to turn and run, she couldn’t have said. Sixteen months ago, her husband left the tarmac’s safety in their newly purchased delivery van and drove off a precipice northeast of town. There had been no screech of brakes before their van had headed straight for the cliff’s edge, where it had left the Earth and, for a moment, hung suspended in the air before plunging into Bright Seas Bay.

Chocolate always makes things better, or so Emily Harris believes until even a dozen boxes of her favorite chocolates can't put her world back together. Returning home from a trip to New Orleans, she is pushed down the airport's arrival escalator, and despite evidence to the contrary, she believes the push was deliberate. If this weren't enough, her lawyer husband begins to act strangely, her oldest son brings a tramp home as his girlfriend, and two friends are murdered. Simple sayings from her childhood thread their way through her thoughts as she struggles to identify the common denominator, even as she is confined to her home, munching on chocolates.

The Christmas tree twinkled from a corner of the room, the cookies were all baked, and a nativity held pride of place on the credenza, but then the phone rang, and everything that had been so eagerly anticipated began a slow but steady downward spiral. A plan was hatched, and a new love volunteered for service. Would the rescuers make it back on time, safe and sound?
Publisher's Summary
Annie Acorn Audio is pleased to present Christmas by Design by Annie Acorn, narrated by Shelley Applebaum.
Drawn to the lakes and peaks of the Cumberland Mountains of East Tennessee by the need to recover from the blow life has dealt her, Samantha Hill seeks to set her new priorities now that she has been denied what could've been and certainly should've been.
All Matt Landry wants is two weeks off by himself hiking and fishing, during which he hopes to regain his hold on what is important in his life going forward. Instead, he finds himself suddenly responsible for an injured woman alone on the side of a mountain as night is falling.
This second offering in her Luna Lake Cabins series by internationally read Women's Pens author Annie Acorn will fill your heart with an amazing reminder of the true meaning of love, perfect during the Christmas season or at any other time of the year.
