The Midwife and the Money - Oak Creek, #3

My spot on the nice list has always been secure. As the Oak Creek Claus, I've spent years spreading Christmas cheer in my small town. But this holiday season, there's more than snow clouding my view. From skunk attacks to accounting chaos to my sister-in-law's high-risk pregnancy, I'm juggling more ornaments than our town square Christmas tree.  And then there's Opal Whittaker, Oak Creek's new midwife, who's spicier than gingerbread and all I want to find under my tree.
But Opal's got more walls than Santa's workshop, and she seems to think I'm just a holiday fling. I'm on a mission to win Opal's heart and show her that Oak Creek-and my arms-is where she belongs. This year, Santa's got a new Christmas wish, and I'm calling in every favor to make it come true. With a sack full of humor, a town full of nosy neighbors, and enough Christmas spirit to light up the North Pole, I'm determined to make this a holiday we'll never forget.
