Author Description

"Molly the Maid has a whole new mystery to solve this holiday when a Secret Santa gift exchange raises questions about who she can and cannot trust--a heartwarming story about the true the spirit of the season. Ever since Gran died a few years ago, the holidays have not been the same for Molly Gray--however, this year just may be different. With her beloved boyfriend, Juan Manuel, by her side, Molly begins to feel the joy of the season. The happy couple decorates the tree together (while wearing silly sweaters and drinking hot cocoa from Gran's teacups), and soon enough, Molly's modest apartment shines with hope and good cheer. But when Mr. Snow plans a Secret Santa gift exchange for the staff at the Regency Grand Hotel, Molly's social anxieties resurface. What if her small talk isn't polished to perfection? What if she commits a grave faux pas at the party? And what if her colleagues snub her yet again as they've done so often in the past? Worse yet, as she crosses off the days to December 25, Molly notices some strange changes in Juan Manuel. Why is he suddenly acting so secretive? And why does he keep telling tall tales about where he's off to and where he's been? Molly has a bad feeling about things, and she starts to question if yet again she's mistaken a frog for a prince. In order to protect her heart--and knowing there's a mystery to be solved--she enlists the help of Angela and Mr. Preston. But even they are unusually tight-lipped, insisting that jingle bells are not the only kind ringing for Molly...whatever that's supposed to mean. As the day of the Secret Santa party arrives, Molly discovers yet again what happens when you assume. But all's well that ends well, because Molly's about to receive a gift that will change her life forever."--
