Santa Undercover
About
Two career-driven workaholics find true love in this sweet, holiday small-town romance where Secret Santa meets Undercover Boss.
Nick Seabrook has spent the better part of the last ten years working on the west coast of his family’s global business. As its CFO, he keeps one eye on the bottom line while also looking for high yield investment opportunities. When his father suffers a health scare, Nick returns to the home office in Boston, where he thinks he is going to be asked to defend his suggestions to sell off a number of underperforming assets in their commercial real estate portfolio. Instead, he learns that his father is sending him undercover in one of the businesses whose building Nick has recommended to sell. The last thing he expected was to spend the weeks ramping up to Christmas working as an inexperienced assistant at a busy bakery, with a baker whose sweet offerings far surpass her delicious baked goods.
Katerina Stevens just barely makes the rent on her bakery and keeps her employees paid. The industrial ovens are not reliable, but the cheap landlord won’t invest in any upgrades and her lease forbids her from making any changes. The Christmas season is her busiest time, where her profits help sustain her for the rest of the year. She could double her production and meet demand if she had the capacity so she creates a business proposal that includes an appeal to rent-to-own the building, if only she could get a meeting with the landlord to plead her case. With a dismal credit rating, she wouldn’t qualify for a business loan, so this plea is the only chance she’s got. She has no idea that her new seasonal employee is the one person who holds her fate in his hands, and the one man who could tempt this focused businesswoman to open her eyes and her heart to what she’s been missing. But when she learns of his true identity and purpose, she could lose the life she’s built and everything she’s worked so hard to protect.
Will the magic of Christmas bring her the miracle she needs and give her the life she has only dreamed about?
