Merry with a Tycoon by Liz Durano

She needed a Santa. He needed redemption.
Will their Christmas miracle come with a side of romance?

When a drunk Santa threatens to ruin my shop’s charity winter wonderland, I’m forced to enlist Love Beach hotel tycoon Preston Hollister—yes, the same Preston who tormented my best friend Willy in high school. But with kids and parents eagerly lining up, desperate times call for desperate measures.
To my surprise, Preston turns into a Santa who could give the North Pole a run for its money, showing a side of him I never knew. But just as I start warming up to the idea of Preston as more than a last-minute Santa, his management company hits us with lease hikes that could close my shop for good. Talk about a lump of coal in my stocking!
With my shop’s future in jeopardy and holiday cheer replaced by financial stress, my growing feelings for Preston clash with my need to protect everything I’ve built. Can this billionaire prove he’s not just a temporary Santa, but someone who truly embodies the spirit of giving?

Even a beach town gets merry! In this collection of steamy small town romance by multiple authors, things heat up for the holidays. Who will get the gift of happily ever after? Grab a hot mug of cocoa, snuggle up, and read this collection of short romances to find out.
