How the Critic Stole Christmas

Andie Pine has one winter to demonstrate that she can manage her family’s resort while her parents experiment with retirement. The Grand Alpine is not making that easy: decorations fail, a historic sleigh collapses and the festive welcome is interrupted by an outbreak of praying mantises. Travel critic Morgan Sharpe arrives just in time to witness the disasters. Determined to protect the resort’s reputation, Andie sets out to show her guest the qualities that make both the hotel and Winterbrook special. Her plan becomes harder to manage when professional anxiety is joined by attraction. Winning over Morgan could help secure Andie’s future, but developing feelings for the woman judging her work introduces a different kind of risk.
