He's the worst Santa she's ever had. She's the boss who won't let him quit.
Nixon Bright didn't spend seven years at Santa Valley University just to end up as a barroom Santa-getting beer spilled on his pants, enduring sloppy kisses from inebriated customers, and having his lap used as a human whoopee cushion. When one handsy customer goes too far, he does the unthinkable: he walks out.
Bette Jo Miller can't afford to lose her Santa. As the owner of Bimbo's Bar-a struggling family legacy she's determined to save-she needs those deep-pocketed drunks lining up to squash Santa through the holidays. Without him, her bar goes under. So she does what any desperate businesswoman would do: she marches across the street, weaponizes her assets, and drags him back.
But Nixon wants concessions. Rules. Maybe a date with his infuriatingly sexy boss.
And Bette? The single mom who swore off men after Laurie's father disappeared? She wants nothing more than a sturdy lap and a signed timesheet.
Neither of them is prepared for the heat that sparks when the ice queen meets her match-or for the complications that arise when Christmas magic collides with real feelings in a town where everyone's playing Santa... but only one man might be the real deal.
A laugh-out-loud holiday romance featuring a grumpy-sunshine Santa, a boss who's all business (until she isn't), one adorable five-year-old who believes in Christmas wishes, and enough witty banter to warm you through the coldest winter night.
