‘the romance had just the amount of emotional depth but also those gorgeous moments that make you blush a little too.‘ Reader review, 5 stars

A runaway bride. A grumpy bookseller with a heart of gold. A friends-with-benefits deal that’s just for the holidays . . .

This job selling Christmas ornaments in Hideaway Harbor was supposed to be the perfect escape from my ex and the mess I made when I left him at the altar. But somehow my new neighbor is a guy who hates Christmas?

Fredrik owns the bookstore next door, and he might just be the world’s biggest grump. Not that it matters, but he’s also drop-dead gorgeous. He’s everything I shouldn’t want – moody, reclusive, and allergic to holiday cheer. Yet he keeps showing up for me. Saving me when I almost freeze in my run-down accommodation. Getting surprisingly steamy in his backyard sauna . . .

Suddenly, we’re tangled in something neither of us is ready for. We’re polar opposites who somehow fit together far too well.

I should keep running, but this small town is starting to feel like home.

And Fredrik might be the reason I finally stay . . .

Noelle and Fredrik’s sweet’n’steamy small-town romcom will give you ALL the feels this Christmas!

Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Abby Jimenez, Lauren Blakely, Alina Jacobs and everyone who rewatches The Holiday every year.
