    About this ebook

    The grinch has nothing on us…

     

    MIA: When I'm trapped with my mistletoe-waving charming

    best friend at our office Christmas party, I know I need to make

    changes in my mundane life. But risk-taking isn't in me,

    particularly when it involves bringing a secret dream to

    fruition. Unless I can get some help from my favourite author of

    all time, Axel Low.

     

    AXEL: What's worse than Thanksgiving or my birthday?

    Christmas. All I want is to be left alone. But after a nasty

    review from Mia Samson tanks sales of my latest book, I know

    what I have to do. Confront her.

     

    Will Mia and Axel make their wishes come true this

    Christmas?
