Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey

Two weeks before Christmas, Stella Schmidt is standing outside Vivant, a famous Manhattan department store, staring at a holiday window full of mechanical penguins. She has just come out of prison and is trying to start over, and when a cheerful man in a bow tie asks her opinion of the display, she tells him the truth.

The man is Aiden Cook, Vivant’s general manager and part owner, and he likes her ideas enough to offer her the job of window dresser for the season. It is the work Stella has always wanted. It also means working for a man she is very attracted to, while Nicole, her old partner in crime, is out on parole and wants back into her life.

A standalone holiday romance from Tessa Bailey, with a grumpy heroine and a sunshine hero. Contemporary romance for adult readers. Avon paperback. New and unread.
