Recuperating ballerina
Penelope Glazier can enchant the young girls in her Fairy Dreams class, but
will her magic work on Carson Langley, the sexy but straight-laced single
father of her most talented student?
Widowed doctor Carson
Langley didn’t know what surprises him more at his six-year-old’s dance
recital, that his reticent daughter is the star of the show or that the
attractive teacher, Penelope Glazier, seems to have gotten through to his girl.
Too bad she considers teaching a temporary job before she returns to her
professional touring company. Even if he were willing to take a risk with his
heart, he has to protect his daughter, Eloise.
Free-spirited Penelope
Glazier doesn’t believe the stories she heard about Eloise. All she sees is a
creative girl who needs some direction and she’s the perfect person to provide
it while she recovers from a near catastrophic injury. After spending time with
Eloise and her by-the-book father, she recognizes that despite their
differences, they have a connection.
When Penelope lands a plum
part will she dance out of Carson and Eloise’s life forever? Or will she take
on her riskiest part ever?

What
inspired you to write a holiday romance story? Winter Fairy emerged out of a
temper tantrum and a challenge. I wrote a scene where Carson’s daughter Eloise
has a tantrum. I didn’t have a story to go with it. When author Yvette Hines
challenged me to write a holiday story, I knew what Eloise wanted for
Christmas.
What
has been your favorite holiday-themed romance to read? Each year I pull out
Naomi Neale’s Calendar Girl and reread the December chapter of Nan’s department
store misadventures. I love to pick up new books and novella collections each
year. This year my favorite has been Robyn Neeley’s Christmas Dinner.
Do
you have any special holiday traditions? The kids and I decorate sugar cookies.
It’s a horrendous mess and I swear I ooze powdered sugar from my pores for a
week afterwards, but we have a lot of fun.
What
was your favorite childhood toy? When Cabbage Patch Kids were all the rage, my
parents couldn’t afford them. My mom made homemade versions for my sister and
I. We called them Rutabaga Patch Kids. That and my “Wonder-horse Fred” – an
utterly unsafe plastic horse suspended on springs.
What
do you do on a holiday eve? Before the kids go to bed, we check the NORAD Santa
tracker one last time. I do most of the wrapping a week or more in advance, but
there is always some last minute stuff to figure out and sugar cookies to eat.
Hubby is in charge of arranging the presents under the tree for the maximum
“wow” factor.
