A holiday bargain with competing stakes

Cora Quill’s Winter Wonderland festival faces a holiday-season crisis when its toy supplier falls through. The replacement she approaches is Nick Bari, a toymaker she has already fired—and a man with an urgent Christmas Eve deadline of his own: finding a wife so he can remain Santa Claus. Their arrangement brings together the festival’s need for toys and Nick’s personal goal, setting up a seasonal romance built around work, deadlines, and a distinctly unconventional bargain. The story places its relationship in a festive setting where professional friction and holiday responsibilities intersect.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Christmas-themed romance and seasonal settings.
  • Readers who enjoy romance premises involving an agreement between people with conflicting needs.
  • Readers drawn to stories featuring toy-making and holiday festivals.

Book overview

She needs a toy maker. He needs a wife. The only problem? It's giving alarm bells instead of sleigh bells...

Cora Quill's Winter Wonderland festival is the gold standard of holiday magic, until her toy supplier implodes. Her only hope? Nick Bari--the infuriatingly hot but grumpy toymaker she already fired.

Nick's got his own problems - he needs to find a wife before Christmas Eve so he can stay Santa Claus and save the holiday season. Helping Cora out isn't exactly a high priority. And she's on the naughty list. (He checked. Twice.)

But when a desperate Cora comes knocking, he agrees to make her a deal...

Could this be the Christmas miracle they both need? Or the most festive trainwreck ever?
