On the twelfth day of Christmas, the goose took charge. Order was canceled. Romance was mandatory.When the Ministry of Festive Affairs orders one final "Holiday Miracle Symphony" to clean up eleven years of Christmas disasters, Addison Qualey gets her worst assignment yet:Manage twelve drummers, enforce artistic excellence, and survive a goose-led orchestra where every performer is a walking violation of Ministry protocol.She expects chaos.She doesn't expect Elijah Draeger.He's talented, infuriating, and far too charming for a man who claims to have "never read the rulebook."She's determined to deliver the perfect performance audit, even if it means taping drumsticks to the livestock and bribing the swan union with gingerbread.But as percussion pandemonium erupts, the Ministry threatens to cancel Christmas for good.Now, Addison and Elijah must team up to save the show, outwit a goose with dictatorial authority, and decide if some rules-like falling in love at the worst possible time-are meant to be broken.Holiday mayhem.Unlikely romance.A finale so disastrous, it just might be a miracle.Perfect for fans of Hallmark gone haywire and romance with a side of flying glitter. Verity Farcett writes the books you never knew you needed-until you tripped over them.From Regency romps with weaponized scandals to epic fantasies where the Chosen One probably isn't, Verity skewers every genre trope she can get her quill on. Her stories blend absurdity, wit, and sideways logic, delivering plots that spiral gloriously out of control while somehow still hitting every satisfying emotional beat.Whether it's historical romance, heroic quests, or gothic melodrama, no trope is safe-but every adventure is written with a suspicious amount of affection for the genre she's dismantling. If you like earnest disasters, reluctant heroes, and plots that fight back, you'll find your next favorite catastrophe right here.When she isn't orchestrating fictional disasters, Verity can be found communing with her Tufted Roman goose, Toni-muse, menace, and inspiration for all honking hijinks
