General fiction

The Christmas Angel

by Tina Radcliffe

Book 1 of the The McBride Series series

136 pages · First published 2013

A Christmas-season assignment brings two people together around a child, family need, or community responsibility at a time when neither expects romance to be the solution. Practical acts of care gradually reveal character more clearly than first impressions, while holiday traditions create opportunities for trust to grow. Faith and the meaning of Christmas remain central as the characters reconsider plans formed before they met. Tina Radcliffe’s inspirational holiday romance delivers the small-town warmth, family focus, and hopeful resolution associated with Love Inspired Christmas stories.
