Series McKinnon Brothers
Recommended By Evelyn Hershkowitz, Readers' Services Librarian

They didn’t believe in holiday magic… until it happens to them. Anna McKinnon is a free spirit. As a bartender in New York City, she answers to no one, keeps what she calls “vampire hours”—and likes it that way. She secretly wishes to find real love, the forever kind her brothers have all found. But love has not only eluded her, it’s burned her badly. Keeping things light is how Anna copes. David Beren is a high-powered, intense investment banker in the heart of Manhattan. His 80-hour work weeks took over his life long ago, but now, at 35, he’s ready for something more. But what? And then he meets Anna. She’s unexpected—full of light, color, and laughter. Anna knocks him off his game and his feet, and he’s never been happier. Can total opposites—a feisty, bold girl from Ireland and a quiet, straight-laced Jewish guy from New Jersey—find love at the holidays? With the double whammy of a Hanukkah miracle and some Christmas magic, they just might.
