Miss Claus and the Millionaire — Wendy Dalrymple

Nicole Myers loves making and selling crafts in her spare time, and her greatest wish is to turn her booming Etsy business into something bigger. Nicole's hand-painted Russian nesting dolls have become a hit at the morning market in downtown St. Petersburg, FL, and to her surprise, her work even lands her in the local newspaper. Nicole wants nothing more than to use her platform as an artist to help raise awareness for kids in need during the holidays and all year long, but, as with all good causes, what she really needs is money.Roman Regan is rich and good-looking, but despite his chiseled features and big bank account, he's also very lonely. Christmas was never really fun for Roman growing up; for an only child who always got everything he ever wanted, the holidays didn't hold any special meaning. When Nicole and her nesting dolls catch his eye, he is reminded of something he loved and lost long ago. Roman becomes determined to get his hands on one of Nicole's hand-made toys... and maybe get his hands on her in the process.Under the guise of being a merchandising executive, Roman locates Nicole at the Christmas market and offers her a deal for her brand that she can't refuse. Nicole considers his proposition under one condition: he has to help with the toy drive and children's parade. With Nicole's help, Roman begins to embrace a festive spirit and finds hope and comfort in her passion for helping others, but will she still be so warm to him when she finds out who he really is? This year, for Nicole and Roman, the true meaning of Christmas isn't about dollar signs and sales... but about finding true love.
