Blurb: Ivy Winters As the head elf at Santaβs Christmasland, I never expected to be butting heads with the new executiveβor going on a date with him. But when he asked me to go home with him for Christmas, I surprised myself by saying yes. Oh, and heβs from the North Pole. And apparently, Iβm an elf.
Teddy Claus Training to take over the family business was no small undertaking, but for the last few years, Iβd been working my way up through the ranks, mastering each branch of our enterprise. But everything was different when I arrived at our Christmas themed amusement park and met her. Maybe that was why I invited her home with me for Christmas. It felt like Iβd been searching my whole life for something, and Iβd finally found it. Maybe, what Iβd needed all along was Ivy by my side.
