Posted December 7, 2017 by Marsha in Christmas Romance, Contemporary Romance / 0 Comments

A little holiday magic brings two workaholic legal eagles together in this delightful Christmas tale.

The only case high-powered lawyer Henry Hale has on his docket this Christmas is the bah humbugs he’s trying to fight off. To cope with a houseful of loving but over exuberant family and all the good cheer running amuck in his life, he just might need help from an unlikely source.

His star employee, Lorelei Sullivan, jumps at the unexpected chance to join Henry’s family events, even if she has only been invited as a buffer. What better way to cap off a stellar year than with a chance to prove she’s partner material and move her career to the next level? Baking cookies, card games, shopping for gifts—nothing is an imposition if it leads to making her case.

But when the relationship between Henry and Lorelei begins to spark from legal to loverly, both of their plans start coming unwrapped. They’ll need more than a little holiday spirit to help them get this court in order.
