More About the Author

Heather MacAllister lives in Texas and is married to her high-school sweetheart. Following the instructions in How to Get a Teen-Age Boy, and What to Do with Him When You Get Him by Ellen Peck, one of her all-time favorite books, she expressed an interest in his hobby -- ham radio. He challenged her -- learn Morse code and get her license, and he'd take her to the senior prom. She did, and currently sports her call sign, WB5RMA, on her car license plate.

Heather became addicted to romance novels in college, yet still managed to graduate and become a music teacher. And then her sons were born. Within seven months, nine baby-sitters quit, so she took pity on the childcare industry, quit teaching, and began avoiding housework by writing during her sons' nap time.

Heather has published over 45 books with Harlequin. Her award-winning romantic comedies have been translated into 25 languages and published in dozens of countries.

Before she was published, Heather won the Romance Writer's of America Golden Heart Award. Her published novels have been nominated for the RWA RITA award three times, and Harlequin.com readers voted LONE STAR SANTA favorite Laugh-Out-Loud book of 2006. In addition to awards for best Harlequin Romance and best Harlequin Temptation, Romantic Times Book Reviews has twice nominated Heather for a Career Achievement Award in Series Love and Laughter.

When she's not writing, Heather spends her time collecting vintage jewelry, watching fireworks displays, and killing plants.

This review is from: Lone Star Santa (Harlequin American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)

When Kristen Zaleski is offered an exotic dancing job, she relizes her acting career is not only over, it's never even started. With barely enough money for a bus ticket, she returns home to Sugar Land, Texas.

Mitch Donner is home, too. He's been locked out of his financial services firm, his home and accounts by the FBI. As he waits for them to realize their mistake, he returns to Sugar Land, too.

Kristen takes a job working at her dad's PI business where she discovers a talent for sleuthing. Mitch fills the time by installing Christmas lights. When he asks for a date, it's only natural she employ her newly minted investigative talents to check him out.

What she discovers sets the stage for a marvelous romp where Kristin will use all her acting and investigative talents to help Mitch get his life back. And, as they delve deeer into the mystery and expose the culprit, Mitch leans that of all the investments he's made, the one he's making in Kristen is the most important.

This is an absolutely marvelous book. Kristen is funny, quirky and original, the perfect counterfoil to Mitch's straight-man, accountant persona. Herather MacAllister's touch is so light, so unfailing amusing that you find yourself delightedly zipping through the book only to remember and reflect on its more serious aspects later.
