I’m sharing this because it might or might not interest other bloggers, but I’m trying to use fear of the unknown to my benefit. I’m doing back-to-back posts since I already said I was too sick to blog yesterday. Back to the fear of the unknown, which I have in spades. How am I doing so by doing the content I enjoy. I’m sharing five books I basically read but haven’t added to Goodreads. By the way, I’m doing my 30 holiday books in December, but I have no clue where I am.

This Christmas, the real magic isn’t at the North Pole—it’s in a suburban safe house.Ever Hollybrook loves his job developing toys at the North Pole. What he doesn’t love? Witnessing industrial espionage and being hunted by corporate criminals. Now he’s stuck in witness protection with Marshal Robert Wade, who’s skeptical about magic, allergic to joy, and devastatingly attractive when he reluctantly smiles.
Robert has protected witnesses before, but never one who genuinely believes in Santa Claus. Because he works for Santa Claus. Which is ridiculous. Except Ever keeps doing impossible things, and Robert is running out of logical explanations.
Three weeks in a safe house. One relentlessly optimistic elf who can’t blend in to save his life. One grumpy marshal who’s forgetting all his rules about keeping his distance. And a miniature reindeer with strong opinions about their relationship.
This Christmas, believing in magic is the easy part. Believing in happily ever after? That might take a miracle.
