The Candy Cane Date (ePub)

Jane got a crush on Santa Claus.

When Nicholas visited her family's home, Jane felt an immediate pull toward him. Though she knows the weight of his responsibilities and the slimness of his free time, she developed a bit of a crush.

On Christmas Eve, Jane takes a break from cooking dinner and goes outside to enjoy the sunset. And to imagine what Nicholas' night involves.

His busiest night of the year, and a busy night for Jane as well.

But a woman who loves holidays as much as Jane feels a little less alone at these magical times when she has someone she can think of with fondness. She thinks romance only exists in her dreams, but the night offers more than Jane expects . . .
