BLURB FOR WHITE CHRISTMAS: The snow is coming down so fast, Amelia Parsons doesn't see the speeding car until it's too late. One moment she’s crossing an ice-rutted street in St. Stephens, Maryland. In the next, she's flying into the air, and the world goes black. She wakes, confused, in what appears to be Santa’s workshop during the holiday rush. If that’s not strange enough, a hunky FBI agent named Daniel is there, demanding to know why she’s involved in a plot to ruin Christmas. Can she convince him she's not the villain and then work with him to find the real saboteur?

In Rebecca York's White Christmas, when her heroine gets hit by a car and goes into a coma, she ends up at Santa's workshop. One of the interesting characters she meets is Mrs. Santa, who spends the busy season making cookies to feed the workshop staff. (Yes at Santa's workshop, cookies and hot chocolate are a nourishing meal.) Rebecca also loves baking cookies, so she's given you one of Mrs. Santa's favorite recipes--spice cookies called Rocks.
