Synopsis:
One viral video. Six million views. And absolutely no reasonable explanation for why Lucy Walsh pepper-sprayed Santa.
Lucy can spin any scandal—until she becomes one. After she’s caught on camera shrieking “Ho-ho-no, you don’t!” while macing a mall Santa, the cynical PR executive receives an ultimatum: save a struggling small-town children’s charity, or face potential charges and kiss her career goodbye.
The catch? The charity’s infuriatingly cheerful director, Nick St. Clair, is the grandson of the Santa she took down.
Nick thinks Lucy is a spin doctor who’s forgotten how to tell the truth. Lucy thinks Nick is a walking Hallmark card about to run his beloved foundation into the ground on hope and hot chocolate. He wants her to understand what really matters. She wants to fix everything, including him. Neither plans on falling for the enemy.
Then her late-night, brutally honest letter to Santa surfaces, and Nick takes it upon himself to grant her wishes one by one.
Soon Lucy is fulfilling children’s Christmas requests, teaching reindeer safety to kindergartners, and accidentally starting a tinsel fire during the town festival. She’s also trying not to fall for the maddingly merry man who keeps slipping past her defenses.
But with the foundation in crisis and Lucy at a crossroads, she must decide whether to return to the life she built or believe that sometimes the best things come from landing on Santa’s naughty list.
THE NICE LIST is BRIDGET JONES meets ELF, a holly-jolly romance packed with enemies-to-lovers sparks, small-town Christmas chaos, and one hilariously messy road to happily ever after.
