Christmas is just another day.
But my employees are threatening to quit if they have to work Christmas. Again.
When I lived in New York, avoiding the holiday was easy. Now I’m back in Mule Creek and in a secret relationship with my late sister’s husband, grumpy Irishman and diner owner, Aidyn Christy.

How can I convince Aidyn we’re worth the risk?
