At Christmas, Laura Fleming lived her fantasy adventure. Paid to house-sit for the fabulously wealthy financier, C.W. Banley, while he traveled, she eagerly headed for New York City. As mistress of his elegant townhouse, she baked cookies and dressed the old gent’s richly-furnished residence for the holidays.
As December rolled around, the lonely, lovely writer eagerly anticipated soaking up the Christmas atmosphere in the grand city. With only the cat for company, she’d turn Banley’s elegant home into a wonderland of sparkling lights, fragrant garland, and shiny tinsel.
Every year, she wished, in vain, for a happy ending. Will this be the year that Miss Fleming discovers her dreams can come true, even in a big city, like New York?
A sweet, New York City Christmas Fairy Tale.
CAUTION: There is some violence, and a bit of cursing, but no sex.

“This is a modern day romantic fantasy that spans continents, has terrifically drawn characters, and packs an unexpected punch. Don’t worry, nothing about Christmas will be ruined for you. It’s a sweet love story full of the Christmas spirit. Between now and Christmas if you want a quick, fun read, buy this, and buy copies for your friends for Christmas presents. P.S. I think the Hallmark Channel needs to make a movie from this book.” SL
