Dear Santa, I May Have Made a Mistake: A Magical Feel-Good Christmas Romantic Comedy

by Marjory Belle

When Holly Winters' family bakery is one gingerbread crumble away from foreclosure, the last thing she needs is another Christmas miracle gone wrong.

But after a disastrous wish on a chipped ornament, Holly wakes up to find that the life-sized Santa mannequin in her display window has… come to life.

And he's hot. Like, mall-Santa-after-dark hot.

"Nick," as he insists on being called, is charming, clueless, and dangerously good with icing. Unfortunately, he also thinks he's the Santa Claus — complete with a fondness for cookies and zero understanding of mortgage payments, competition rules, or why his forearms are a workplace hazard.

Now Holly's juggling a living, breathing (and absurdly handsome) Santa, a holiday baking competition that could save her business, and a nosy town convinced she's finally lost it.

But as sparks fly and snow falls, Holly starts to wonder if Nick's magic might be exactly what she — and her heart — need this Christmas… even if explaining it to the neighbors is going to land her on the Naughty List.
