Christmas By Design | November 20
A famous handbag designer working on a special-edition holiday line for charity finds her newest designs stolen in a company data breach. When she hires an IT expert to save the day, she discovers he’s the same man she shared a romantic — and awkward — moment with at last year’s Christmas party. As they work together to recover what was lost, they may just find something even more valuable.
