Merry Little Kissmas

By: Blakely, Lauren

I should've known better than to make a Christmas bet with my brother's best friend. Six-foot-three, grumpy, and allergic to mistletoe and feelings.

My job sounded simple: find a holidate for the sexy single-dad hockey star before the team's Christmas Eve gala. But Rowan's sworn off romance forever. So when he bets I can't find him a plus one, I up the stakes and volunteer as tribute.

I'll fake date the holiday hater just to prove him wrong. Cue the mistletoe sabotage and Secret Santa subterfuge.

But soon our practice dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions feel a little too real-especially when he starts planning secret trysts in our snowy small town. Where I discover exactly how fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

And when I get to know his book-loving daughter and they invite me into their life, what began as a holiday bet is turning into a Christmas I'll never forget.

What if the only gift I want the grump to unwrap this season... is me?
