Sinopse

As a partner in a small Connecticut law firm, Meg Riley assesses her clientsâÇÖ cases based on logic, reason, and hard evidence. But MegâÇÖs rational approach is tested when she is appointed to represent an attractive man who was arrested on Christmas Eve for criminal trespass. His explanation for being in a strangerâÇÖs house in the middle of the night? He was delivering presents to a little boy--because he, Ralph Claus, is the son of Santa Claus. Or so he claims. áFrom the courtroom to SantaâÇÖs workshop and back again, MegâÇÖs efforts to win RalphâÇÖs case are complicated by people with competing agendas. The little boyâÇÖs mother is determined to see Ralph convicted. RalphâÇÖs mother is more concerned about protecting the secrets of Santa than the niceties of the legal system. MegâÇÖs law partners are concerned about her ability to balance RalphâÇÖs case with her obligations to bigger clients--and they donâÇÖt even know about MegâÇÖs romantic feelings for Ralph. áAfter trial, an unexpected bombshell jeopardizes MegâÇÖs career. Faced with the potential loss of her cherished profession and the man she loves, Meg must decide once and for all: Is Ralph a con man? Is he a lunatic? Or is he who he says he is?áP. Jo Anne Burgh has woven a luminous tale of love and friendship, laced with drama, humor, joy, romance--and more than a touch of magic.
