A few weeks before Christmas, graphic designer Jane Mitchell isn’t exactly feeling festive. Her ex dumped her, her sister insists she “get out of the apartment,” and now she’s standing in line to see Santa with her five-year-old niece. Only, this Santa? He’s six-foot-five, bearded, and dangerously handsome. Austin Holt, firefighter by day and reluctant mall Santa by volunteer duty, doesn’t expect the sarcastic brunette who sits on his lap (well, technically beside it) to knock him flat... moreA few weeks before Christmas, graphic designer Jane Mitchell isn’t exactly feeling festive. Her ex dumped her, her sister insists she “get out of the apartment,” and now she’s standing in line to see Santa with her five-year-old niece. Only, this Santa? He’s six-foot-five, bearded, and dangerously handsome. Austin Holt, firefighter by day and reluctant mall Santa by volunteer duty, doesn’t expect the sarcastic brunette who sits on his lap (well, technically beside it) to knock him flat. But one flirty conversation and one impulsive, heat-of-the-moment encounter later… their holiday season gets a lot more complicated. When Jane discovers she’s pregnant, the last person she expects to see again is her Christmas fling — until fate (and a charity event) throws them back together. What follows is a year of laughter, chaos, and unexpected love — from fake beards to real feelings, baby heartbeats to Christmas lights. Because sometimes, the best gifts come wrapped in total disaster — and occasionally, they wear a Santa suit. less
