When the townspeople of Harrogate almost riot over the Christmas décor thievery committed by the chair of the Elf on the Shelf Committee, I know I’m not going to survive the holiday season unless drastic action is taken. Biddy Jefferson turning up dead in my Christmas market stall is not exactly the type of drastic measure I had in mind. With no alibi and a town obsessed with pinning the murder on me, I have to clear my name. This is on top of planning the upcoming holiday ball, dealing with quirky stall owners in the Christmas market, and corralling confused tourists. It doesn’t help that Remington Svensson, Harrogate’s newest Christmas cop (like I said, small town; don’t ask) thinks I did it. Pathetically, this does nothing to squelch the years-long unrequited crush on him I’ve been harboring. With my best friends, a half sister who is obsessed with my nonexistent dating life, and lots of spiked hot chocolate, I’m going to find the real killer… and maybe unwrap a certain sexy Christmas package! This is a stand-alone, funny holiday romance mystery. Holiday puns, sexy law enforcement, all the steam underneath your tree—oh yeah, and a murder!
