Chocolate Chip Christmas Wishes

By Nicole McCaffrey

Jake Mistletoe is the North Pole's resident bad boy. Half elf, half human, he is the only child of a single mother who just happens to be Santa's head elf. Fed up with his wild, partying ways and lack of direction, his mother sends him to the real world for a dose of reality.

Lucy Prescott is all alone in this world. Since the death of the grandparents who raised her, she has struggled to keep their Christmas novelty shop running in a dated, dying Christmas-themed tourist town.

When Jake appears in town, magic seems to be in the air. For the first time in ages, life holds excitement, and Lucy finds herself wondering … what if?

If it's possible to be born a writer, then I certainly was. I'd probably have started sooner if there had been pen and paper available in the womb! But for as long as I can remember, I have heard voices in my head. Fortunately for me, they're all characters--begging me to tell their stories. I've been married to Peter, my best friend, for fifteen years, and am a work-at-home mom with two busy boys ages ten and twelve. When I'm not working, writing, or buried nose-deep in a research book, chances are I'm baking, taking my dog for long walks along the beautiful shores of Lake Ontario, or just spending time with my favorite guys.
