A sweet holiday romance to warm your heart! There was a time when young Lorne Foyle was homeless, picking pockets and panhandling to keep from going hungry. Today, he’s a mega-millionaire, proud founder and CEO of Foyle’s Foods, a thriving chain of healthy gourmet stores. But Lorne himself is not thriving. Two weeks after his daughter was born, his wife died. On Christmas. Devastated and angry, Lorne became the Grinch, with a virulent hatred of Christmas and all it meant. His daughter is eighteen now. Still Lorne despises the happy holiday. Wearing a sprig of holly in your lapel can get you fired. Really bad optics.
MaryLynn Portman, heiress to a dead-broke abused women’s shelter, works hundred hour weeks assuring her clients and their children are safe, warm and fed. With Christmas approaching and the economy causing her supporters to back off, MaryLynn frets over more than just the holiday meal. How will “her kids” have happy memories? Can she keep the shelter open through the winter? Does the predatory developer who wants the real estate under the building have any limits? And where can she find a Santa?
Then an upstart group of Lorne’s investors decide they’ve had enough of the hating holidays. It’s affecting the bottom line. They’ve got just the daring scheme to correct the problem. What if grinchy Loren refuses… AMAZON
