About this book
When a grumpy, Christmas-hating guy and his enthusiastic new neighbor end up competing in their town's festive Kringle contest, they decide the best way to win is to fake-date each other—except the chemistry between them is anything but pretend. Cole has spent years perfecting his Scrooge routine in charming Kringletown, but Storee's arrival (and her adorable aunt) threatens to thaw his icy heart whether he likes it or not. As their staged romance heats up and the competition gets cutthroat, these two discover that sometimes the greatest gift of the season is finding love when you least expect it. Perfect for readers who love banter, heart, and the kind of small-town magic that makes Christmas feel a little more special.
