Fixing Christmas — Peggy Jaeger

Christmas has never been a time of the year that's filled writer Abra Charles with undiluted pleasure. If you'd been left on a doorstep 38 years ago on Christmas Eve morning, you might have a few issues with the holiday as well.Abra's avoided her hometown of Dickens for the past twenty Christmas seasons, but now she's returned in an attempt to get her writing mojo back. Twice-divorced and with her third engagement ending in heartbreak, anger, and blackmail, Abra is now six months behind on submitting her current book. She hopes renting Copperfield House and immersing herself in solitude will cure her writer's block and get her life back on track. The house she rents isn't helping her achieve her goal, though, as one thing after another breaks, collapses, or floods.Colton Bree, Dicken's very own Mr. FixIt can't help but wonder if the new resident of Copperfield House is cursed. After being called to fix a broken window, he's then needed to repair an exploding coffeepot, an overrunning toilet, and a washing machine that has a mind of its own. Bree doesn't mind all the unexpected repair jobs, though, because the sexy renter is something to look at despite being a little neurotic and whole lot of snarky.Can Abra get her book done with all the distractions and craziness of her life, the biggest distraction being the flannelled hunk with the bedroom eyes and scowling yet oh-so-kissable mouth? Or will Dicken's Mr Fixit have to step in and save the day and in so doing, fix Christmas for Abra forever?
