Christmas is in the air at the World’s Greatest Christmas Festival. People come from all over to drink hot cocoa, see Santa, indulge in treats on sticks, and take photos with elves. One of those elves is not what she seems. Every morning, Luci dons her colorful costume to hand out maps and hobnob with festival-goers, but her real goal is to serve court papers to a man who doesn’t want to be found. If she succeeds, she’ll earn a sweet Christmas bonus.

Luci needs to stay alert so she doesn’t miss her target, but she faces a daily distraction in the form of a Hot Dad—a fringe benefit of the elf gig. His mere presence warms her from pointy ears to curly-toed shoes. Not only is he cute, but his jokes leave her laughing, and his little girl? She’s the icing on the cookie. Sometimes Luci has a hard time focusing on the guy she’s tracking, which can’t happen; she forfeited family Christmas celebrations this year in order to get this bonus. She won’t come away empty-handed.

Single dad David walks the grounds daily, because he’s the one funding the event this year. With his wealthy family expecting him to make the event a success, he needs to keep his head in the game…and keep his eyes off that sexy elf. Even though he’s technically her boss, seeing Luci in her elf-getup on a daily basis quickly becomes the highlight of David’s holiday season. When Luci leaves town after the festival, both he and his daughter are going to miss her terribly.

Or maybe Santa will bring them what they’re wishing for…and more.
