Nicole Caron works in the Foreign Service.  She meets Alessandro della Torre at the Italian Embassy in Amman and falls instantly, and completely in love with him.  Nicole thought Alessandro felt the same, but on Christmas Eve, the night he was supposed to be moving in with her, he vanishes.  One year later, Nicole is still devastated and hurt when Alessandro re appears.

Christmas Angel is wonderful.  There is so much depth to this short story; it’s poignant and sexy, heart breaking and heart-warming.   Alessandro is gorgeous, sexy, and all alpha male.  Nicole is lovely and perfectly suited as Alessandro’s mate.  Christmas Angel has been added to my collection of favorites, where all of Lisa Marie Rice’s books are.
