That's until Christmas Eve, when Patrick wakes Quinn up with: 'I think I've killed a man.'When Quinn realises that the 'burglar' Patrick knocked out is none other than Mr. Claus himself, the couple soon find themselves looped in by a harried elf to (red) suit up and save Christmas!But, as the sun rises on Christmas morning and the sleigh takes them back to the North Pole instead of New Jersey, they're in for a massive shock. The couple must assume the roles of Santa Claus and the first ever Merriest Mister, or Christmas will be cancelled . . . permanently.With Christmas - and their marriage - on the line, Patrick and Quinn agree to make a go of it for one year. But can running a toy shop together save their relationship, or will Patrick and Quinn be stuffing coal in each other's stockings by next Christmas?________________________________________________Readers are LOVING The Merriest Misters:'Holiday spirit abounds, with lots of whimsy and room for creativity...I'm not even that big of a holiday book reader, but I admittedly was starting to check the forecast in hopes of cooler days.

'This was such a fun read and I was completely obsessed with the characters and the game show aspect.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon reviewer'I absolutely adored this book!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon reviewer'It's such a fun read with lots of giggles and spice.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon reviewer Ready. Set. Faux. Things are not going well for Holden James. His chance to audition for his favourite game show, Madcap Market, should have been great – a tribute to his mum, who died six years ago. Instead, he’s destroying the minibar in a grim hotel room…recently dumped and sliding into misery.But at least he has room service. It even comes with a sexy (smart-ass) concierge who arrives with pizza, Monopoly, and rather distracting forearms.All Holden knows about Leo Min is that he’s beautiful, unexpectedly sympathetic, and the chemistry between them is off the charts. Maybe it’s even enough to convince the show’s casting directors that they’re a real couple. And if they can win the competition and the huge cash prize, all of Holden’s problems – his broken heart, buried grief, and complete lack of money and direction – will be solved.Of course, nothing ever works out as planned.
