“Naughty or Nice?” by Vicki Lewis Thompson. At Evergreen Industries in Gingerbread, Colorado, CEO Cole informs his
siblings that they were hacked by his former college girlfriend Taryn. He flies to Seattle to persuade the woman he
loves to join the firm to strengthen security.
“She’s A Mean One” by Rhonda Nelson. On a talk show Ethan watches his archenemy
Lark telling parents to be honest with their kids that there is no Santa. He counters with allowing children to indulge
in a harmless fantasy that leaves a lifetime of warm memories. She may be a female Grinch, but he wants her
to be his Grinch.
“His First Noelle” by Kira Sinclair. Although she temporarily replaces her dad as
Evergreen security chief while he recovers from surgery, Noelle feels like an
outsider as her mom belongs to a different clan. Still in love with Dash who broke her heart;
she informs him Kris, suffering from marital problems, wants to use the
Corvette instead of a sled. Dash
believes Mrs. Claus will leave Kris just like Noelle walked out on him several
years ago. They work together to make a
convertible fly.
“Silver Belle” by Andrea Laurence. With seven days to Christmas, Belle lost her
holiday spirit. Her only joy is her
secret (from her older brothers) relationship with Nick, but bittersweet she knows
she must fire her beloved and erase his memories.
This is a charming lighthearted holiday romance anthology. The keys are technology and magic blend
nicely together; the authors insure the siblings consistently keep their
personalities throughout the interrelated collection; and cocoa will never seem
the same.
