Last Christmas my heart was broken.
This year I’m not looking for love.
I’m focused on one thing.
Winning the Holiday Harbor cookie competition.
Only, I plow into two hot doctors and my plans change.

Sprinkle me with hot cinnamon kisses.
And unwrap me like a present.
Will they keep me from my dream?
Or make all my holiday wishes come true?

Nicholas/Saint

But then we met her.
Holly isn’t like other women.
She takes sleigh rides and jingle bells to a new high.

We’re not the Grinch.
We’re generous in more ways she can imagine.
We’ll be her Santa and give her everything she’s every wanted.
Just in time for Christmas. $0.99 on Kindle.
