Prologue

Sparkle squirmed anxiously in her candy-cane striped chair. It was all their fault,

the big oafs. They constantly bickered with each other and baited her, so none of them

ever got any work done. Neither of them could see that they were hot for each other,

and that was the source of all their problems. Too bad, in a way. Glimmer and Will

were the two sexiest elves at the North Pole, and Sparkle got all damp and needy every

time she looked at either of them.

“This marshmallow fight in the candy facility was the last straw,” Santa said as he

read the three of them the riot act. Sparkle tried hard to focus on the boss’s words, not

on how good the other two smelled, even over the scent of burnt marshmallow.

“It wouldn’t have been so bad if the marshmallows hadn’t been on fire at the time,”

she muttered. That touch had been Will’s contribution, and that’s when things had

really gone to hell.

“I’ve tried placing you in every division we have here, and you’ve managed to

make a disaster of each and every one. I should fire all of you.”

Sparkle felt her face go white. Fire them? No! What other career options did a

Christmas elf have, after all? She sat up straight in her chair, trying not to let the guys

see how terrified she was by the thought.

“But it’s almost Christmas, and I’m feeling benevolent.” Sparkle suppressed an un-

elf-like snort. Yeah, well that was sort of his job, wasn’t it?

“So here’s the deal. I’m giving each of you one last chance. There’s a family of three

sisters, from Melbourne, Texas. They’ve all had a rough time of it this year, and the

holiday season isn’t shaping up to be any better. So each of you will be assigned to

ensure a Merry Christmas for one of the sisters. Do it, and you can return to the North

Pole and stay. Fail, and you’re on your own. Do you understand me?”
