Chemist and budding romance writer Olivia Chasen is on a cruise to avoid spending Christmas with her beautiful twin sister and new fiancé—Olivia’s ex. Now, thanks to her lonely, intoxicated ramblings on Santa’s lap, her fellow passengers think she’s in love with a fictional character.

Former Navy SEAL Commander Jace Morse has dealt with plenty of unusual situations in his career, but he’s never had the honor, the pleasure, or the privilege of being a beautiful and intelligent woman’s fantasy hero come to life. While he hasn’t officially met the sexy chemist, he’s sure eager to explore the chemistry that’s sizzling between them.

Bringing the charming SEAL together with the skeptical Olivia is going to take more than just Christmas cookies and a little help from Mrs. Claus; it’s gonna take a heaping dose of Christmas magic.

Choice of transportation: “Katie” My Car

Most prized possession: My most prized possessions are the novels/outlines I’ve written and saved on my computer and which I hope to publish one day soon.

Favorite way to unwind: My favorite way to unwind on a daily basis is to take a walk, read, cook, or knit. On a more macro level, traveling is my best escape.

Favorite way to spend an evening: My favorite way to spend an evening is cooking dinner with my hubby and then curling up on the couch with him to eat while watching a good movie or TV show.

Best friend: My hubby and my mom

Best memory to date: One of my best memories to date are the four days my hubby and I spent in Rome on our honeymoon followed by our 14-day Transatlantic cruise home.

If you could have a do-over, what would you do differently? When my hubby and I met, it was love at first sight. In hindsight, I wish we’d gotten married sooner rather than doing the long-distance relationship deal for a couple of years.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Lawyer

What profession would you not like to do? I wouldn’t enjoy a profession that lacked creativity.

Most romantic gesture: My most romantic gesture was leaving my home in Virginia and moving to Arizona to be with and marry my hubby.

Words to live by: “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel

She stepped to him. “I trusted you. You act all so cool and collected. Perhaps, this will faze you,” she said pushing him back and into the pool.

Suddenly, everything spun out of control. Olivia had been so upset that she hadn’t seen Santa Claus approach Jace carrying a small Christmas tree full of decorations for the hospital in Grand Cayman.

As Jace stumbled back into the pool, he unfortunately carried Santa and the tree with him into the water. The last thing Olivia heard was Santa’s “Ho! Ho! Ho!” turn into “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!” before they both took a splash.

Olivia literally bit her tongue to stop from laughing. This was so not funny, but yet it was hilarious. She, Olivia Chasen, had finally found her fun and excitement. She had a new groove.

And as she looked around and noticed all the phone cameras rolling, and most likely had been the entire time, she delicately took a curtsy as proper as one she’d give Queen Elizabeth herself. Thankfully, watching all those episodes of the The Crown had paid off big time.
