She needs a toy maker. He needs a wife. The only problem? They''d rather deck each other than the halls. Cora Quill is Christmas royalty-literally. For the last three years, her Winter Wonderland festivals have been the gold standard of holiday magic. But this year? Disaster. The toy company she''s backed is embroiled in a scandal, and her reputation is on the chopping block. Her only hope? Nicholas Bari-the grumpy, broody toy maker she unceremoniously fired in a one-line email. Yikes. Nicholas has zero interest in saving Cora''s perfectly curated holiday dream. He''s too busy carving wooden trains, making sure kids believe in Christmas, and-oh yeah-finding a wife before Christmas Eve so he can stay Santa Claus. No big deal. But when Cora comes knocking, desperate and flustered, he makes her a deal... Could this be the Christmas miracle they both need? Or just another holiday mess waiting to happen?

Cora Quill's Winter Wonderland festival is the gold standard of holiday magic, until her toy supplier implodes. Her only hope? Nick Bari-the infuriatingly hot but grumpy toymaker she already fired.

Nick's got his own problems - he needs to find a wife before Christmas Eve so he can stay Santa Claus and save the holiday season. Helping Cora out isn't exactly a high priority. And she's on the naughty list. (He checked. Twice.)

But when a desperate Cora comes knocking, he agrees to make her a deal...

Could this be the Christmas miracle they both need? Or the most festive trainwreck ever?
