I must have missed the "Santa Clause"…When I won an all-inclusive vacation to a luxury mountain resort over the holidays after entering a sweepstakes on the back of my cereal box, I assumed it was Fate announcing it was finally Merri Bianchi’s time to relax and have a little fun. But you know what they say about assumptions....As it turns out I neglected to read the fine print, aka the "Santa Clause," and now I’m dressed as an Elf working my red-and-white striped stockings off at Santa’s Toyshop to make sure every parent finds the perfect gift for their precious little snowflake in time for the big day.Just when I think my life can’t get any worse, items begin going missing from the shop, and a girl gets fingered for stealing when an expensive tablet is found in her backpack. She and her dad, Kane Carpenter – who happens to be single and hotter than my morning cup of cocoa – both insist she’s not the thief. I don’t know why, but I believe them. My boss, however, doesn’t, and tells me that he’ll not only turn the girl in to the authorities if I don’t find the true culprit, but he’ll take away my bell-tipped shoes and send me packing for home.Can Kane and I team up to nab the Grinch and recover the toys before we all find nothing but lumps of coal in our stockings come Christmas morning? And will the kindlings of love between Kane and I survive even after the season's mysteries are unwrapped?
