All I Want for Christmas Is Proof: A Holiday Romcom Mystery
When you work museum logistics, you learn two things fast: art is priceless and people are liars.
I'm Lena Reyes-registrar, barcode-wrangler, professional buzzkill-meaning I'm the woman who refuses to sign a condition report when someone says, "It's fine, just do it now." If it's not on paper, it didn't happen. And if it did happen, I want receipts, a timestamp, and a witness who isn't a donor.
It's the week of Christmas in New York, which means the museum is running on panic, caffeine, and rich people's feelings. Then a "quick favor" drops into my lap: deliver a last-minute "study piece" to a tenant liaison at a luxury Manhattan building where even the wreaths have wreaths. Ten minutes, in and out. Famous last words.
Because the second I walk into the Tower, nothing makes sense.
The person I'm supposed to meet doesn't exist. Staff answers sound scripted. Doors hesitate like they're thinking about it. Cameras blink at the wrong time. And the head of security-Declan Shaw, grumpy, sharp-eyed, and built like a man who's never lost an argument-starts treating my tote bag like it's a weapon.
Which would be flattering, if I weren't just trying to do my job and get home before my bodega runs out of eggnog.
But when the building's perfect holiday smile slips-and someone decides I'm the easiest person to blame-I realize I've stumbled into a game where money buys silence, and "Christmas cheer" is just another kind of cover.
Good thing I brought what I always bring to a crisis: paperwork, stubbornness, and absolutely no desire to become a headline.
All I wanted for Christmas was a clean delivery.
Instead, I might need proof.
Perfect for readers who love sharp, funny heroines, grumpy-protector chemistry, forced proximity, "the rich are dangerous," and page-turning NYC suspense-All I Want for Christmas Is Proof blends holiday sparkle with thriller tension and a romcom voice that keeps the stakes high and the laughs coming.
