The Novella:
Win a Date with Secret Santa (Curvy Girls' Bachelor Auction #11)

The Synopsis:
What could be more fun than going on a Polar Express-like train ride with a toymaker at Christmas? Apparently, everything. While Fraser Douglas may be in the business of creating toys that bring joy to children worldwide, the man himself is clearly a big grump.

No problem. I’m not looking for a love connection when I bid on a date with him at a charity bachelor auction. I just want to get the free toy that comes along with him. A toy that just so happens to be at the top of my niece’s Christmas wishlist, but is sold out at every store.

Neither Fraser nor I knows what to expect when we go on our date. But as we spend hours together on board a magical train, it becomes harder to deny the spell that seems to be cast around us. I may just discover that under his grumpy exterior, he has a heart of gold.
