Santa On Strike

By: Rachelle Ayala

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

He’s the worst Santa she’s ever had. She’s the boss who won’t let him quit.

Nixon Bright didn’t spend seven years at Santa Valley University just to end up as a barroom Santa—getting beer spilled on his pants, enduring sloppy kisses from inebriated customers, and having his lap used as a human whoopee cushion. When one handsy customer goes too far, he does the unthinkable: he walks out.

Bette Jo Miller can’t afford to lose her Santa. As the owner of Bimbo’s Bar—a struggling family legacy she’s determined to save—she needs those deep-pocketed drunks lining up to squash Santa through the holidays. Without him, her bar goes under. So she does what any desperate businesswoman would do: she marches across the street, weaponizes her assets, and drags him back.

But Nixon wants concessions. Rules. Maybe a date with his infuriatingly sexy boss.

And Bette? The single mom who swore off men after Laurie’s father disappeared? She wants nothing more than a sturdy lap and a signed timesheet.

Neither of them is prepared for the heat that sparks when the ice queen meets her match—or for the complications that arise when Christmas magic collides with real feelings in a town where everyone’s playing Santa... but only one man might be the real deal.

A laugh-out-loud holiday romance featuring a grumpy-sunshine Santa, a boss who’s all business (until she isn’t), one adorable five-year-old who believes in Christmas wishes, and enough witty banter to warm you through the coldest winter night.
