Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday

Hannah Pressman returned to her hometown of Angel Falls following college graduation to work as a book editor at her family's small publishing company, The Printed Press, which specializes in how to books, such as cookbooks. While she is happy to be home, she aspired to a job at a bigger publishing house in New York, the job she wanted which went to her high school friend/rival, Ryan MacDonald. That rival status has taken precedent as Hannah is fixated on all the times over their lives that he has bested her in their unofficial competitions. So she is less than happy to see Ryan return to Angel Falls in the lead up to Christmas, if only temporarily as he is dealing with issues around his long deceased parents' estate. As he is in-between jobs, Hannah's parents, Leslie and Lowell Pressman with who he has kept in touch all these years, are able to convince Ryan to work as a consultant for them while he is in town, which does not sit well with Hannah. One of the things that Ryan recommends is that they take a risk to expand the fiction section of the company, one of Hannah's favorite writers, Tina Finnegan, who has temporarily moved to Angel Falls renting Ryan's family home and has left her last publishing house. As Ryan and Hannah try to woo Tina to the Printed Press and slowly learn her somewhat bittersweet story, Ryan and Hannah start to fall for each other, while she is reluctant not only to sign with them and stay in Angel Falls, but to write ever again. In the meantime, Anthony, the new receptionist at the Printed Press, is really a guardian angel on a specific mission which brought him to this job as an insider.
