Showing results for "Ivy" in Holidays

Friends don’t let friends fake date alone. Oscar Wilde once said, “Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.” Ha! Wrong. Dead wrong. And I can totally prove it. For the last seven years, I’ve been just friends with Jack Holiday—yes, that Jack Holiday.

In a heartwarming novel of secret wishes and family lost and found, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels creates a timeless Christmas story to cherish.

When most people contemplate Christmas, they think of family time, baking gingerbread with Grandma, and stringing those forever-tangled lights on the tree. For Lieutenant Patrick Holling, Christmas means something entirely different, though. Demoted and transferred to New Jersey PD's own version of Timbuktu - the Holiday Crimes Unit, where every crime that correlates to a holiday is sent to die, Holling finds himself saddled with an unwanted partner, Detective Julian Ives, who has transferred to the HCU under mysterious circumstances.

Detectives Patrick Holling and Julian Ives work to solve the cases assigned to New Jersey PD’s Holiday Crimes Unit. Known to their coworkers as Holly and Ivy, this unlikely duo find themselves grappling with a series of more and more difficult cases, as they struggle to make their partnership a success even as they slog through dirty snow, spend time in the morgue, grapple with the mob, and attempt to outsmart the feds. Now, their first three Christmas cases have been brought together in one convenient package.
