A Very Merry Monday (Book 21)

Veronica Mills read through the email from Barrsoren management. "Is this a joke?" No one answered since she was the only person still in the office at seven in the evening. Of course, she was still there, and alone, because her co-workers all had families, or at least a social life. "I'm expected to spend several weeks leading up to Christmas in some dinky town in New England?" As she was known to her family and friends, Roni marked the missive as unread and shut down her PC for the night. Pulling on the lighter-weight fall jacket she had worn that morning, she headed out to the chilly Manhattan streets. "Dickens. The town is called Dickens? How quaint." She shook her head, jogged down the stairs to the subway platform, and tried to forget the email.
When Jonathan Hawthorne got dumped on New Year's Eve, he was also left alone in the small New England town he thought would be where he proposed to his girlfriend. After a few solo days in Dickens, he decided to trade in the bustling world of metro New York City for the bucolic life he found there. For nearly two years life was genuinely peaceful until his employer temporarily relocated staff from New York City. That's when he met the attractive buzzsaw named Veronica Mills. And now the company owner had put the smackdown on them. Get along, or you're out.
From the time they meet, angry sparks fly between Roni and Jon as they lock themselves into unexplained competition. Will the magical pull of Dickens be strong enough to heal these two broken souls and see how much they have in common?
