The First Noelle by Delia Latham

Noelle Joy stopped celebrating Christmas ten years ago, when Trevor Holden skipped out on their long-planned Christmas Eve wedding. He destroyed her trust in men, crushed her belief in God, and left her cynical about love. Gone is the bright, cheery spirit of the girl she thinks of now as “the first Noelle.” Stronger and savvier, the new Noelle would never be found waiting at the altar for a groom who didn’t show.When a famous-but-mysterious architect commissions her to decorate his mansion for a holiday event, Noelle finally returns to her hometown. Even as she finds an unexpected peace in facing ghosts from the past, her fiercely private client disturbs her. Michael Holliday is kind and considerate, but far too handsome…and hauntingly familiar.Holliday didn’t choose Noelle to make his home a Christmas wonderland by accident. She’s the only one who can do the job he has in mind—and once she’s in his mansion, he never wants to let her go. But he’s hiding a secret that could destroy any chance of a relationship with the beautiful decorator.A false persona. A shattering secret. Can love break down these insurmountable walls?

My Review

I so love Christmas stories. This was so beautifully written. Sweet inspirational romance. 

After being left standing at the alter 10 years  ago by Trevor , Noelle pretty much has nothing to do with  men and especially not marrying one.  She was crushed and how could she trust a man again. She lost her faith in God. How could he allow this? Then she is commissioned to do a decorating job for a very wealthy man. She couldn't let his pass up so she accepted the contract. But she can't put her finger on it but their is something  familiar about him. Michael Holliday only wants her for this job. Has to be done by her in order for his plans to work. But can he keep it together or will he blow it when his secret is out?

Wonderful well written story by Delia. Characters are awesome.
