About this book
When Elliana's murder-averse holiday spirit gets tested by a smoking-hot neighbor she's been (admittedly) watching via drone, she stumbles into a situation way more complicated than Christmas caroling—namely, a murder he committed. But Theo's surprisingly charming for a hitman, and when danger comes calling, he decides the best way to protect her is to keep her close, handcuffed to his side if necessary. Forced into proximity with the one man who might actually make her reconsider her deep hatred of the holidays, Elliana discovers that sometimes the most explosive gifts come wrapped in danger and sarcasm. This grumpy-sunshine romance delivers heart, heat, and the promise that Christmas miracles come in the most unexpected packages.
