Available for the first time together, two holiday stories by perennial bestseller Debbie Macomber.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER: Before Claudia Masters even meets Seth Lessinger, she leaves him a message from the Psalms: "May the Lord give you the desire of your heart." She knows there's something different about this man. Something special. And meeting him only confirms it. For his part, Seth, who is a new Christian, immediately recognizes that Claudia is the woman for him—the woman he wants to marry and take back to Alaska. But Claudia is torn between Seth and her life in Seattle. How can she give up everything familiar, everything she's always worked for? And yet, she can't bear the thought of losing this man she's come to love…. Only when she acts with faith and hope does she find her true destiny.

CHRISTMAS MASQUERADE: Jo Marie first meets Andrew, her dream man, in the crush of a Mardi Gras parade. But by Christmas, he's introduced to her as someone else's fiancé. Yet Jo Marie notices that Andrew and his intended don't always act like a loving couple. In fact, in the whirl of holiday parties and festivities, they seem to be constantly changing partners. During one dance Jo Marie even finds herself in Andrew's arms, sharing a tender moment.

Is she mistaken? Does her perfect match really belong to another, or can the spirit of the season bring Andrew and Jo Marie together at last?
