Marrying Miss Kringle: Lux by Lucy McConnell
Christmas Magic is changing and the Kringle Family scrambles to keep up in this fun and entertaining, sweet Christmas romance from Author Lucy McConnell.
A normal electrical substation takes two years to build; but, Lux has 365 days to install one at the North Pole or Christmas Magic will overload the factory and send them back to the Dark Ages.
The one man on the planet with the know-how, the education, and the time to help Lux finish the substation before her Noel deadline, is also the one man who sends sparks through her heart and surges through the power system.
If Lux kisses Matthew Quik—again!—she could blow up Santa’s workshop before she has a chance to save it. If she doesn't kiss him, she may lose him forever.

Lux’s cheeks dusted pink. With her red hair and fair skin, she should
have flushed bright red, but only this sprinkling of pink appeared, like
she’d been dusted with pink powdered sugar. Why did this woman bring to
mind sweet things like powdered sugar and chocolate and kisses at
sunset? He gave his head a mighty shake. “You fell in the water.” “I
know.” At least, he thought he knew. Everything had happened so fast.
He’d fallen asleep and woken up when the ice cracked. He plopped his
feet to the floor only to have them land in several inches of water. His
stove had tipped over and the hot metal had melted clear through the
ice. There must have been a crack in the ice nearby. “We pulled you
out.” “We?” Quik adjusted the blankets over his arms. He could only
imagine Lux and Ginger and Frost tearing his clothes off. Lux made to
adjust her glasses, but they weren’t there. She looked around like
they’d fallen off and she didn’t know how. So he wasn’t the only one
thrown off by all this. Quik’s eyes traveled lower to find her bare
shoulders and her skintight tank top. He jerked his eyes back up to her
face, hoping she hadn’t caught his wandering eye. “Me and Dunder.” She
chewed her lip. “My reindeer.” “Of course.” The situation was going up
in weirdness. Having used up all his ability to care about propriety,
Quik leaned back against the seat. He was in the bottom of a fancy
velvet-lined sled. Yep. Weird. His eyes dropped shut. “You cut my
pants?” he asked. “I’ll get you new ones,” offered Lux. “Did you cut my
shirt too?” “No!” She was offended. That was kind of cute. “Too bad. I
needed a new shirt.” He half smiled.
