Christmas Joy — B.J. McCall

Pinecone has lost its Christmas spirit! Santa Claus tasks Paisley, a spirit elf, with finding a true believer, the one resident of the town capable of inspiring everyone to delight in the spirit of Christmas. Hmm. Tricky? Not…really.
One touch of Christmas magic later and local storekeeper Joy Blake's on a quest to revive Pinecone's Christmas Festival, bringing back the beloved community event of her childhood. Her obstacle is Ash Montgomery, the handsome town mayor who's focused on the fiscal, not the festive. Convincing the sexy Ash to bring Christmas back to Pinecone is a challenge Joy can't resist, any more than she can stop testing the gorgeous mayor's resolve to never date residents.
She's determined to get what she wants. What he wants is her. Christmas in Pinecone is heating up.
