The Billionaire's Gift: A Holiday Romance Blaine Vanderbilt has smoldering good looks and a good heart to go along with that. He's planning on playing Santa to a bunch of sick children who are in the hospital dealing with illnesses during the holidays in his hometown of Houston, Texas. He's spent his thirty-six years doing not so good deeds as he made his fortune by founding a retail chain called Bargain Bin, Inc. A company that moves into small towns and offers all the things the non-chain stores offer at dirt-cheap prices as they get all of their stock from other countries at cut-rate prices. They also employ only disabled people but pay them minimum wage, exploiting them as well as ruining local economies. His father's death has him second-guessing his ways and he turns over a new leaf, making big changes in his stores and in his life as well.
