Underneath the Christmas Tree

When Violet Noble begins her new job as council events planner in Winkfield Green, she' s horrified to learn she has twenty days to organize the, as yet unplanned, Christmas Fayre- and it won't be easy. All the files regarding previous events have disappeared, along with most of the decorations. She needs a miracle, but what she gets instead the council' s maintenance man, carpenter and all-around fix-it guy- Derek Xenon.When Violet turns to Derek for help with the Christmas Fayre, his first instinct is to say no. His regular job is demanding enough without adding the resident damsel in distress to his workload. However, he' s never one to turn down a challenge- even one from Christmas obsessed out-of-towner, and especially when someone seems to want Violet's plans to fail.Will Violet' s vision of Christmas ever come to fruition, or will she throw in the stocking?
