Malcolm MacGregor is a successful businessman and a descendant of the
clan in Scotland. Alanza Cantalmessa works in a gourmet pizza shop
owned by her parents. The duo is smitten with each other but, Malcolm
only has enough courage to make small talk. However, when he gets a
promotion that will send him to Australia for six months, he has to move
fast. He decides to give Alanza twelves gifts leading up to Christmas
to proclaim his desire for her. Will Malcolm's plan work? Is the pair
destined for happiness?
The novel might not be a
preferred read for many because both main characters are perfect and
wealthy. I felt the span of their relationship with from wooing phase to
marriage within a span of around two weeks to be unrealistic. It felt a
bit unrealistic because as much as you love someone, you can't be sure
you know everything or all their flaws. Overall, a decent read but, not
something I would gon out of my way to read again.

Malcolm MacGregor is a descendant of Scotland’s Clan MacGregor and a successful young businessman in Fort Worth, Texas. Alanza Cantalamessa works at a gourmet pizzeria owned by her Brazilian artist mother and her Italian Poppa. Both of them are smitten with each other but Malcolm is too reserved to do much more than make small talk—until a promotion at work that will send him away to Australia for six months. It’s December and he has to do something—fast.
Praying about the situation, Malcolm decides to give her twelve gifts leading up to Christmas. Their families and friends think they are moving too fast. And a gold-digger who tossed Malcolm aside in the past has now decided he’s the man of her dreams.
