Synopsis
At the Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc. (MSI) office holiday party, Owen works up the courage to kiss Katie Chandler under the mistletoe, but her fairy godmother, Ethelinda, gets in the way. Meanwhile, former MSI employees Idris and Ari plot to expose the company's secrets and the existence of magic to the public. Katie and Owen team up to stop them, and along the way they face a dreaded Christmas visit to Owen's parents. The story builds toward a New Year's Eve gala. It is the third book in the Enchanted, Inc. series, a romantic urban fantasy series about a Texan woman who is immune to magic and works for a hidden magic company in New York City.
