Overwhelmed. Running a small business with a purple-haired octogenarian who thinks \"Rhonda El Bano\" is a convincing alias. For reluctant psychic Riley Thorn, the holidays are less \"magic in the air\" and more \"fire in the living room.\" Between the backlog of invoices, a PI license teetering on revocation, a disapproving grandmother lobbing ominous predictions about the upcoming wedding, and the fact that Riley cannot see a single thing about her own future with Nick Santiago, she just wants to survive until December 26th.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick Santiago doesn't do \"mellow.\" He does Christmas. Hard. He's the man who owns a twelve-foot inflatable Santa and feels no shame about it. So if closing out the year means going undercover at the East Shore Mall to catch a slippery theft ring―even if it costs him one truly terrible security uniform and several shifts with the world's most punchable assistant manager―fine. The sooner he catches the bad guy, the sooner he can haul his fiancée under the mistletoe and convince her everything is going to be fine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween mall chaos, psychic guild parties, warring families descending for Christmas Eve dinner, and one stray kitten who has personally destroyed two rooms and a dog's dignity, they have five days to catch a thief, save a license―\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd figure out why the future looks so suspiciously blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note: If your preorder includes books with different release dates, your order will not ship until all titles have been released.
