Book excerpt: 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?
