Tough homicide detective Jake Morgan was a bah, humbug kind of guy. Getting injured in the line of duty wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened to him–no, it was being assigned as the police department’s Christmas Cop while he recovers. He wasn’t one to bring any feel-good feelings with kids. He had no idea what kids wanted for Christmas. And he sure to goodness didn’t want to be paired with a pink-hair, do-gooder who looked more like a kid herself than a software engineer. When Shea O’Reilly is paired up with the man most likely to win the exact-opposite-of-Christmas-spirit award, she’s thrown. It’s her favorite holiday. And her best day would be to make a bunch of kids happy. How can she manage that with the disgruntled Mr. Scrooge she’ll be working with? Christmas for children? Or a holiday miracle of love?
