Going back to her hometown, she ends up finding more than just a solution to her PR problems.
Santa’s Baby by Chantal Roome

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
No holiday reading list is complete without a timeless classic!

Christmas shopping, awkward family dinners, endless to-do lists… Ever thought about skipping Christmas altogether?
