Pippin and Rose and Fir

The Hawthorne Plant Nursery puts on famous holiday displays every year, full of Christmas trees and festive cheer. And Max Bellerose, successful scientist and entrepreneur, has come back to help out for a week, a favor to his former boss; they’re shorthanded, it’s Christmas, and James gave him his first job, years ago. But as he’s closing up for the night, he finds someone else staying late to work on this year’s decorations ... someone beautiful and artistic and tempting.

Pippin Hawthorne isn’t simply his father’s son. He works hard on the displays, bringing customers and tourists in. Everything has to be just right -- and he doesn’t need an interruption. Except this interruption is tall, dark, handsome, and commanding ... everything that Pippin likes.

Amid the holiday lights and ornaments and fir trees, Pippin and Max just might find some Christmas magic for themselves.
