title: The Nice List
author: Scott, Avery
description: Cole Weston's biggest holiday wish is about to come true. The deal of a lifetime is within reach--and once he closes the sale of one small town elementary school, he'll have a nice fat bonus check to take with him when he finally moves up to the real estate big leagues in New York. He's not about to let anyone stand in his way--especially not the feisty and all-kinds-of-adorable teacher who does everything she can to convince the school board not to sell.
  
  Francesca Bagnoli won't let go of her beloved school without a fight. The historic building might not be in the best shape, but it's the heart and soul of her town, and there's no way she'll let some greedy real estate mogul destroy it. Who cares that he's the most attractive man she's ever seen? She will not lose focus, and she most definitely will not fall prey to Cole's charming softer side.
  
  In the countdown to Christmas, can Cole and Francesca put aside their differences and take a shot at the kind of love neither expected to find?  Or is a holiday miracle just not in the cards for them this year?
