Wrap yourself in the holiday spirit with five romantic stories filled with fun and forever after.

Book Blurb: for “Holiday Disaster”: The week before Christmas and all is in disarray when a librarian experiences horrible plumbing issues and a Mr. Maintenance Man who isn’t nearly as jolly as Santa Claus. This Christmas is a disaster.

Book excerpt: 

          Wrapping my hands around the older-than-time plumbing underneath my bathroom sink, I yanked, hoping-praying-hoping the darn thing would loosen up, and all would be saved. But no. Nada. Too darn tight.

          Merry Christmas to me. Not really.

          Obviously, somebody more muscular than me would be required to strong-arm the pipe free. Helpless feelings hunched my shoulders. I should have closed the drain stopper to prevent my contact from swirling merrily away when it popped out of my eye and flew in the sink. I hated feeling helpless.

          Not a great way to kick off the holiday season.

          When Dad donned his Mr. Fix-it hat and repaired stuff around the house, I should have paid more attention. Maybe I'd have learned something valuable, something resembling Plumbing 101. But like most little girls, playtime was ten times more fun.

          I declared surrender and called the condo's emergency number. The maintenance man who answered told me he was on his way. I hoped he hadn't said that to humor me. Lying had become my number one enemy. Lately, it seemed like everybody I knew told fibs:

          My co-workers: "It's in your mailbox."

          Not.

          My boyfriend, rather, my ex-boyfriend: "She means nothing to me."

          Not.

          My car dealership: "Your vehicle will be ready by noon tomorrow."

          Not.

          Unfortunately, I'd had to fabricate an untruth—just a teeny weenie fib, really—to get the maintenance guy to come to my rescue so quickly.

          When I'd called, the man didn't sound thrilled to be coming to my aid at six-thirty in the morning. I wouldn't be a happy camper either. In fact, he sounded—I scrunched my nose—hungover, like he'd partied hearty until the wee hours.

          The doorbell chimed. I leapt to my feet and raced to the door, thinking please, let it be him. Please, God, please. He just has to find my contact and all will be saved.
