 Release Date - October 6, 2020 If there's one thing I needed right now, it was something light and fun. Between news stories, family health matters, the ongoing pandemic, and the topics I research for work, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In a Holidaze was a heavy dose of exactly what I needed.

Happy Haul-idays from Chronicle Books

When she overhears a woman and her friend discussing a live-in nanny position in Norway, Lexi listens in. The woman doesn't want the job, so Lexi snaps a picture of the woman's CV and job inquiry and poses as that woman. She never expects to land the job, but that's exactly what happens. Tom Faraday is an architect who is working on his late wife's dream cliffside home. She died tragically, but he can't let her dream end.

After all, Lexi finds herself enamored by the two young girls and a mother figure is exactly what the little girls need.  It doesn't take long before Lexi realizes there is a serious problem.
