The Santa Accident by Gemma Brocato

What happens when a holiday adverse woman falls for a man who still believes in Santa?

A fateful shopping trip on Black Friday left Ivy Woods terrified of crowded spaces. Even she knows her career as a decorator in a large shopping mall makes no sense. While the work feeds her creative side, the long hours and horrendous crowds during Christmas make her rethink her future. When Ivy is nearly trampled in a shopper stampede in front of the toy store, she knows she won’t survive another terrifying incident with crowds.
For contractor Cole Petry, the holidays bring back bad memories of traveling to a prison to visit his mom. To make matters worse, the great aunt and uncle who raised him as their own truly believed they were Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. And each year, their holiday craziness leaves him questioning his own sanity. But his simmering attraction to the lovely Ivy is a fantasy come to life. Too bad she seems to hate the holidays as much as he loves them.
A freak accident throws Ivy and Cole together in an unexpected and delighful way. While working together on a special building project for underprivileged kids, Ivy believes she might have found her new calling. However, taking a new job means a close working and possibly personal relationship with Cole, a man who still believes in Santa Claus. And when his mom turns up like a bad penny, their relationship could melt faster than snow in July.
Can all the glittery trappings that make the holidays help them overcome their differences in this romanace between total opposites?
