Christmas at Nutcracker Sweets

All four stories from the Christmas at Nutcracker Sweets series in one volume. Join the dancers of Walnut Creek in discovering the magic of the holiday season, and the beauty of true love. A Christmas Wish for Clara - Clara Dreiers has dreamed only of dance since she was a little girl. But when a terrifying car accident leaves her dreams in tatters, Clara must not only relearn how to do the things which once came easily to her, but also learn how to live again. With a team of specialists, and the friendship of fellow amputee Beau Prince, Clara begins to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. She must choose which dreams to hold onto, and which ones to change. Neighbors with the Nutcracker - Jake Tipson has enough on his plate with family troubles, an aging dog, and the challenging new choreography to accommodate his dance partner, without dealing with neighbor issues as well. But as he gets to know the single mother who's moved into the other half of the duplex, he begins to wonder if maybe his goals aren't all he thought they were. A Second Chance for the Sugar Plum Fairy - Dawnique Harris knows the show must go on, no matter how broken her heart, or how challenging the roles. With the holiday season in full swing and the community of Walnut Creek ready for their annual Nutcracker productions, Dawnique sets aside the painful reality of her impending divorce and throws herself into her work. But when a cast member has to leave at the last minute, she is forced to bring in the one person she doesn't want to see. Her husband. Mistaken for the Mouse King - Trip Billings has never been one to turn down an opportunity to step in for his twin brother Miles. So when his brother calls in a lurch and needs a stand in, Trip agrees readily. Perhaps too readily. When he arrives in Walnut Creek he learns that Miles needs Trip to fill in for him at the ballet company while he nurses a twisted ankle. There's only one problem. Trip can't dance.
