Dazzler Spitfire is an elf on a mission. She has until Christmas to pull herself together, keep her magic, and her life. She heads to Holly, a town devoted to Christmas and home to her best friend. Together, they craft a plan to stay one step ahead of those wanting to bring her in front of the North Pole Review Board for trial.

Todd Dugan knows magic only works for others. His divorce from Dazzler's cousin proves it. He's fine tending to the reindeer for the western leg of Santa's midnight ride. When he agrees to chair the holiday committee in Holly, he'll prove human technology is just as good as magic.

He should know better. Magic is all around, and there are people who'll go to any lengths not just to keep him and Dazzler apart but eliminate her altogether.
