Hearth Motel

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 didnā€™t think sheā€™d be the one getting picked up instead. Her new boss, Nicholas Roth, is the big man in charge at Santa Incorporatedā€”what Gillian thought was a seasonal staffing agency. But the sexy CEO has a holly jolly secret. Heā€™s an equal opportunity employer and most of his staff are elves. Santa has another secret. When heā€™s not delivering toys for his charity, heā€™s contending with political unease in the magic realm. To take his fatherā€™s 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 heā€™s found his true mate in Gillian. Too bad Gillian doesnā€™t agree.
