I read this book a few months ago but for some weird reason I missed on doing the review then. Probably because I was thinking to myself 'why are you reading a Christmas story in September?' Unfortunately I'm one of those people that only gets in the Christmas spirit at the last minute. So finally it's Christmas Eve and I remembered this story.

Mark is an interesting character. He is a great business person but a few days from Christmas he had no 'cheer'. All he could think about was work. He definitely wasn't a people person or charitable.. His response to a homeless person who was begging for spare change was "Get a job."

That was until Charity came along. Their attraction was instant and Mark wants to see where things lead. But first he has to find Charity who has suddenly gone missing and nobody knows what happened to her.

This novella had a great mix of romance and mystery and I really enjoyed it. If you've lost your Christmas spirit, you will recapture it with this beautiful story.

Mark Lyon was a beast in the boardroom. Building websites and branding corporations for success was his specialty, and he was good at it. Mark worked hard to earn his place at the top of his field. He let nothing stand in his way, not even Christmas.

Charity Clarke captured Mark's attention with her dirty mouth at first meeting, but her giving spirit stole his heart without notice. When she goes missing, will finding Charity be the gift with enough love and hope to save them both?
