Summary

Madeleine Joy is feeling more meh than merry. When an Icelandic volcano erupts six days before Christmas, hazardous ash congests European airspace, canceling flights indefinitely--including the thirtysomething's connection to Paris. Stranded alone in London, separated from her sister, and with the devastating one-year anniversary of her best friend's tragic death just days away, Madeleine has never felt less festive. And as if things couldn't get worse, the cute guy driving the cab to her hotel won't shut up about carolers and tinsel. Julian Halliwell is one of life's sunny optimists. A former music journalist, he's embraced his love for London by starting his own black cab business, enthusiastically ferrying passengers from one historic landmark to another. But life hasn't always been easy for Julian. Having navigated several life-changing setbacks including a cruel betrayal by his former fianče, Julian remains hopeful that he'll meet somebody kind, who shares his love of music, his corgi named Winnie, and of course, the magic of Christmas time in London. Despite being an unlikely match, fate seems determined to throw them together. But can the grieving American find joy again in a world where the lights have all but dimmed?
