I hate Christmas.
The carols, the tinsel, the pressure to be merry. It all reminds me of my mother, who loved it, and who I lost when I was twelve. Every December since has been survival.
So when Holly Sinclair shows up with her clipboard and Christmas sweater and plans to rope me into town festivities, I have one No.
She doesn't accept no. That's the problem. She's relentlessly cheerful, apparently incapable of understanding that some people want to be left alone.
She's also genuinely kind. I see it in how she treats everyone—not like performance, but like she actually cares.
I don't want to like her. Don't want to notice the way her smile slips when she thinks no one's watching. Don't want to wonder what she's hiding behind all that sparkle.
But she keeps showing up. Keeps pushing. Keeps looking at me like I'm a puzzle she intends to solve.
Maybe some things are worth coming out of the dark for.
The Grumpy Mountain Man Under the Mistletoe is a steamy grumpy-sunshine Christmas mountain romance featuring a brooding woodworker who hates the holidays, a relentlessly cheerful event coordinator hiding her own cracks, and a small town determined to bring them together. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating and no on-page harm to the heroine.
