Beverley Green's First Territorial Christmas

A heartfelt story about a grinch who's about to learn the upside of the holiday season, for fans of Janet Evanovich

Beverley Green has never been big on holiday spirit. But after writing a hit article for the local paper about a spate of recent Bigfoot sightings, she knows she'd be silly not to capitalize on her newfound popularity and include her new bookstore in the upcoming Territorial Christmas celebration. It's Guthrie, Oklahoma's biggest community event of the year—but with period costumes and a parade, it's also way out of Beverley's Christmas comfort zone.

As if that's not enough to turn Beverley into a grinch, her sister's just informed her that she needs to babysit her eleven-year-old twin niece and nephew over Christmas break. And Beverley? Well, she'd have a better shot at world peace than understanding kids.

To Beverley's great surprise, her niece and nephew turn out to be excellent—and handy—houseguests. But the bookshop's fate takes a turn when an orphaned hamster puts Beverley on the naughty list of her shop's cantankerous landlady, who threatens eviction.

With Beverley's reputation—and business—on the line, her holiday spirit is in danger of melting faster than a Sasquatch snowman on a sunny day. But little does she know, help can come from the most unlikely places—and the friendly face of a local Bigfoot expert under the mistletoe just might restore her faith in Christmas…
