Santa's Wayward Elf

NOTE: This book has a guileless elf heroine you can't help but fall in love with, a hunky hero who knows how to come to a girl's - er, elf's - rescue, some serious kissing under the mistletoe, and lots of steamy hot romance!Being one of Santa's elves isn't all sugar plums and candy canes... At least not for Sosie. Taller than the other elves, she has a problem fitting in at the North Pole, so when the transport sled breaks down in New York City on Christmas Eve, she slips away to explore the world of the "big people" unaware that the transport sled takes off without her, leaving the naïve elf stranded.
Fortunately, handsome police detective Derek Clayton comes to her rescue, offering to let her stay at his apartment. Having heard horror stories about the big people, Sosie is both surprised and relieved to meet such a kind, sweet man. Not to mention one so gorgeous and well-built. She falls hard for Derek and desperately wants to tell him she's an elf, but knows he'll never believe her. When the lies and omissions start to pile up, Derek can draw only one conclusion-Sosie must be working for the mob boss he's been trying to put in prison for years.
Just when things seem like they can't get any worse, the chief of elfin security shows up to drag Sosie back to the North Pole. How is a runaway elf supposed to overcome a determined security elf, dangerous mobsters and a suspicious boyfriend all while keeping her pointed ears a secret?
