A runaway teen. Her missing mother. And a woman with an unusual psychic gift.Nickle Wood is not a thief, although her rap sheet begs to differ. It's just that a lot of objects are not where they are meant to be and the universe has chosen her to move them. Christmas is absolutely the worst, with every brightly wrapped package a potential landmine.She and her private-eye boyfriend, Hawk, have agreed: no presents. But he can't resist giving her a little something and Nickle's fragile trust is broken. She thought he understood the problem, but maybe he doesn't really know her at all. Insult to injury, the gift, a beautiful pendant, clearly wants to be elsewhere.Nickle ventures out into a Christmas Eve snowstorm, determined to relocate the pendant on her own, but when it leads her to a runaway teen and a dog sheltering together behind a dumpster, Nickle knows she's going to need Hawk's help to find the girl's missing mother. Can they trust each other – and Nickle's unusual ability – enough to solve the case and pull off a Christmas miracle?"Like a tiny box of holiday sweets, this magical story is the perfect bite-size treat, guaranteed to satisfy your cravings and not interfere with whatever else happens to be on your busy holiday plate!" - Barbara Davis, bestselling author of The Echo of Old Books and The Keeper of Happy Endings
