Produktbeschreibung

His employees call him The Grinch. His holiday-born daughter, sequestered in a dowdy Swiss finishing school, won't speak to him. The public, entranced by tge media pile-on a rival company seems to have initiated, vocally disapproves of his treatment of his exiled only child. Mothers in Boston are doing a novena. In Chicago, they're collecting plane fare.
Will multi-millionaire food mogul Lorne Foyle give up his detestation of the world's most popular holiday? Allow his employees to wear holly in their lapels? Let them warble White Christmas?
He can't. Foyle, 44, born into poverty, once homeless and now living in a luxurious West Side brownstone, titan of industry, philanthropist...is afraid.
Her employees call her an angel. Her clients think she's a miracle worker. Hard-driving but gentle-handed, Mar Lynn Portman runs a hundred-bed shelter for battered women and their children. She comforts, she encourages, she teaches, she keeps a financially-strapped operation from going under. She routinely works hundred-plus hour weeks, sleeps on an air mattress in her office. The cactus in her apartment is dying.
Will MaryLynn, struggling to keep a legacy afloat in a world hostile to her poverty-burdened clients, take time for herself before she collapses?
She can't. Mary Lynn Portman, 38, who dresses in clothes from the shelter's Last Chance shop and eats leftovers from the shelter's kitchen...is afraid.
What happens when these two not-anywhere-near-alike people are brought together as they struggle to protect a seventeen year-old heiress, an eight year-old pickpocket, and their broken hearts?

Autorenporträt

Shayla McBride lives on Gulfcoast Florida. At one point, after several years in the Peace Corps, she planned to live in Paris. France. But her kids live in Florida so here she is, living a sweet tropical life and not luxuriating in la Belle France. But, oh, for a decent bit of bread!
Shayla's keen on gardenng (or at least keeping the greenery at bay), third-world travel, Asian street food, anything to do with kitchens (from total renovation to totally new recipes). She's a sucker for things literary, felines of all sorts, almost any red wine, darkest chocolate, and writing.
New writers hold a special place in her heart; she was one for way too long. Now she seeks to help those on that path. After Writing Your First Fiction, it's back to suspense fiction, destroing whole cities and taking people out.
