Some men consider themselves God's gift to women; but with Derrick Barnes, it's just a given. What woman wouldn't want a sensitive, hunky blond exotic dancer under her tree on Christmas Eve; all wrapped up in a bright red bow for her enjoyment? Yet Derrick, by day a college student and department store stock boy, only has eyes for Sheila Baxter; the bright BBW p.r. professional at Leveaux department store. This year serving as Sheila Claus, the jolly replacement Santa at Leveaux department store, Sheila Baxter has quite the crush on her 'elf' for the season, stock boy Derrick. Yet when she learns the secret about his scandalous night job, will she still be willing to meet him under the mistletoe?

Kyle Anderson was the sexiest man she'd ever laid eyes on, but Shayna Miller wasn't about to be taken in by his movie-star looks and sensuous voice.

Kyle had come to Land's Cross to get Shayna to sign on the dotted line—and secure his own future in the process. But with her laid-back Southern charm, the small-town social worker was tempting him to rethink his big-city dreams. Yet it would take more than mistletoe and moonlight to earn Shayna's trust. With help from this magical season, could he turn their fling into a forever after?
