Christian — Sandy Appleyard

A lonely CFO dressed as Santa. A single mom and her special son. And a Christmas carol that creates a miracle nobody would ever expect.I’m just minding my own business, grabbing a snack for my son, before I head back to work. Next thing I know I’m staring down Santa Claus in the middle of the mall. Everyone from the Christmas party last night I recognize as they look at me with judgement. But none of them know what that boy has been through. What I’ve been through. And why, God, but why, has the lord sent me a guardian angel dress as Santa Claus, now?***My sister Hannah chose my name, Christian, because it sounds a lot like Christmas. No accident there. So when she asks me to dress up as Santa Claus for the kids in the mall, I have trouble saying no. Turns out it’s the best job I’ve ever had, and I’m the CFO of my folks’ company, so that’s saying a lot. But when a certain young boy and his mama come into my life, and I learn of his secret, suddenly his mama, Perrie, is no longer the tiger mama she started out as. And I find myself on the business end of an unforgivable situation.Holiday romanceChristmas romanceSecond chance romanceHappily ever after romanceSteamy romanceSlow burn romanceMedium heatMild foul languageCliffhanger ending
