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 magic…
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 what—or who—you 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.
