Description

She doesn't believe in Santa. He's crash-landed her alone time. When a rival comes for his head, can their naughty and nice passion survive?

Scarlett O'Neill is no fan of Christmas. Shouldering a traumatic past and a string of failed relationships, the easy-going woman is looking forward to holing up in her grandparents' isolated cabin for the holidays with a few good books. But just as she's settling in, a loud bang sends her racing into a storm to discover wreckage and a strangely dressed handsome stranger lying unconscious in the snow.

Nick takes his vows seriously. Under contract as Santa and duty-bound to combat legendary threats, the forty-one-year-old refuses to commit to anyone—not even the bubbly cutie who pulled him in from the cold. Yet with his magic growing weaker and a mysterious assassin hot on his tail, he reluctantly turns to the vibrant woman for help.

Unfazed by the drama, Scarlett readily jumps in to lend a hand both in fighting evil and warming the cockles of Nick's fiery heart. And while Nick is drawn to Scarlett, he fears surrendering to his yearning will paint a deadly target on her back.

Will their sizzling chemistry help defeat demons intent on putting out Kris Kringle's lights for good?
