All He Wants for Christmas

Lisa Plumley. Kensington/Zebra, $6.99 mass market (368p) ISBN 978-1-4201-3155-0

In the charming fourth contemporary set in Kismet, Mich., (after Together for Christmas), a charismatic CEO falls unexpectedly for a store manager. Jason Hamilton, the head of a chain of toy stores, is on vacation when a compromising picture shows up in the tabloids. The uptight mothers of America call for a boycott. To appease the board of directors with a sweet photo op, Hamilton travels to tiny Kismet to present an award to the company’s most successful store. Expecting a silver-haired older woman, he’s shocked instead to meet feisty single mother Danielle Sharpe. Six months after taking charge of the Kismet branch, Danielle’s turned it into the most profitable location in the chain, and she has her eye on a corporate job. Jason and Danielle have incredible chemistry—and very different ambitions that might drive them apart. Plumley paints a beautiful portrait of a town where the holiday spirit is felt all year round and gives readers warm glimpses of the couples from previous stories. (Oct.)
