It’s the National Santa Championships at ‘Pining for You’, the Christmas tree farm at the Christmas capital of the USA: Leavenworth, Washington State.

Competitors will be judged on hearing wishes, fundraising for charities and who has the best ‘ho ho ho’. But when a Santa goes missing, a mountain man woodchopper will step up in the spirit of Christmas. A grumpy Santa will get his second chance with his sunshine when their whirlwind workplace romance fell apart. A movie star seeking redemption will find it with her Santa Claus and the single dad finding his Santa true love.

This collection of Christmas romance stories are a little sweet and a little steamy, with a sprinkle of magic on winter solstice where hearts are reunited and forgiven.

Contributing authors include Louisa Duval, Fiona M Marsden, Joanne Speirs, Clarissa Morgan, Sharyn Swanepoel, Shelley Thomson, Carrie Clarke and Sara Hartland.
