A talented quartet of writers have combined to bring us a bundle of stories full of Christmas mirth and magic. Yes, in JINGLE SPELLS, set in Gingerbread, Colorado, that means actual magic.
NAUGHTY OR NICE? by Vicki Lewis Thompson introduces the town where toys are secretly made and stored for Santa's run on Christmas Eve. The toymaker's computer has been hacked. The Evergreen family who manage operations in a supposed ornament factory meet to discuss the problem - Cole knows the culprit. Taryn, a past girlfriend he'd met at MIT, is now a computer security tester, helping corporations find weaknesses. But nobody hired her here, so what is her motivation? Bringing the professional techie snoop to town might not be the best idea he's ever had - or is it?
SHE'S A MEAN ONE by Rhonda Nelson focuses on Ethan Evergreen, being asked to justify lying to children about a toy-distributing elf. Lark remembers being bullied and ridiculed for clinging to the myth long after other kids had called it a fairytale. She believes that corporate moneymaking and workers' jobs are the reason his family perpetuates the story. Before she appears on a talk show, Ethan invites her to come and see the town she's disparaging. Is this wise, given the sparks between them?
HIS FIRST NOELLE by Kira Sinclair sees Noelle Frost and Dash Evergreen working together on one of the many problems which arise at this time of year. Santa wants to drive a Corvette instead of a sleigh. Noelle has had a far more serious background, and nobody messes with her, not even a wizard with the hots for her.
SILVER BELLE by Andrea Lawrence shows Belle Evergreen, the one family member who prefers coffee to cocoa, equally as busy as her boyfriend Nick, a builder. They hardly see each other at this time of year. Lately Santa has dyed his hair black, trimmed down his waist and bought a Harley. This might have something to do with Mrs Claus's new sports instructor. Now Santa's vanished... can Belle recover him without Nick finding out the truth?
This JINGLE SPELLS collection is tremendous fun for fans of up to date adult romance, magic and good cheer. Traditions bond a family, as the authors tell us. Ho, ho ho!
To protect Christmas, this family of wizards will have to
use a whole different kind of magicβ¦
Part of the Winter clan, the Evergreen family is
considered
magical nobility. While Evergreen Industries in
picturesque
Gingerbread, Colorado, might look like an ordinary office
building, this is where the magic of Christmas unfolds.
Above Santa's workshop, the Evergreens hold court, manage
Christmas and, sometimes against their will and better
judgment, fall in love. When it comes to love, the
Evergreens know that sometimes you have to play a little
naughty to get exactly whatβor whoβyou want from Santa.
Celebrate the holidays with Evergreen siblings Cole,
Ethan,
Dash and Belle in this enchanting collection from New York
Times bestselling authors Vicki Lewis Thompson and Rhonda
Nelson, Kira Sinclair and Andrea Laurence.
