Book Description
When a disgruntled department store elf wages war against a too sexy for the suit Santa, sparks fly. Going into the holiday season, I thought my life couldn't get much worse. My mom is sick, I'm broke, and I have to don elf ears and leggings for a paycheck. Then, a new Santa came to town. One with washboard abs and enough arrogance to make me want to kick him back to the North Pole. To top it all off, I'm pretty sure he shows up to work drunk. At best, he'll make my job harder than it has to be. At worst, he'll ruin Christmas for the town's children. So excuse me for saying bah-freakin'-humbug. But when a few unexplainable acts of kindness happen throughout my tiny town, I find out there's more to Jolly Old Saint Nick than what meets the eye. Drinks turn into a date and kisses are exchanged on my doorstep, but when I discover the real reason for his holiday gig, I find out his heart really is made of coal. Now the only question is: do I give him another chance, or is he doomed to stay on my naughty list?

Margot Moss, a gregarious and witty woman, lives her life with abandon. She knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to pounce after it with full-throttle ferocity. Although, she can’t quite seem to get it right. When a coveted promotion falls through, Margot finds herself struggling to actualize her dreams and is forced to reconsider her so-called fabulous future. However, when one catwalk ends, another begins. A job in New York City comes knocking and Margot doesn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity, setting out on a wild adventure towards love, success, and self-discovery. Unfortunately, nothing is how she imagined it—not the company, the city, or the people. Awaiting Margot is a drama-addicted boss who may or may not be out to get her, and a whirlwind of wealthy men, scams, and scandals. Caught in a cotton candy cloud of sparkling rosé, Margot determinedly navigates her (many) dilemmas with the help of her saucy friends and a healthy dose of buzz-worthy gossip. Yet, as if that weren’t enough, Margot’s life is made even more complicated when a steamy new beau enters the picture—and even he isn’t what he seems.
