A holiday story set in the Hearth Motel world! All preschool teacher Gillian Wright wanted was to pick up a third job so she could buy her students Christmas gifts. She didnāt think sheād be the one getting picked up instead. Her new boss, Nicholas Roth, is the big man in charge at Santa Incorporatedāwhat Gillian thought was a seasonal staffing agency. But the sexy CEO has a holly jolly secret. Heās an equal opportunity employer and most of his staff are elves. Santa has another secret. When heās not delivering toys for his charity, heās contending with political unease in the magic realm. To take his fatherās throne as king of the elves, he has to get marriedā¦and only magic-proof Gillian will do. Gillian agrees, thinking Nick will cut her loose after the busy Christmas rush, but he has other ideas. Nick wants a permanent Mrs. Roth and thinks heās found his true mate in Gillian. Too bad Gillian doesnāt agree.
