A Very Grumpy Christmas

2021

My neighbor is a Grinch. Since I run the Christmas Emporium and sometimes moonlight as an elf, that's kind of a problem for me. No surprise, though. When I brought over cookies to welcome him to the neighborhood this summer, he slammed the door in my face. Until he brings his kid to visit Santa one of the days I'm working as an elf, and I realize there are key parts of their story I'm missing ... 1. The little girl is his much younger sister, not his daughter. 2. He's her guardian since their parents died in a tragic accident. Now all of his handsome, broody glares make so much more sense. As one of Santa's elves, I make it my mission to make this Christmas as special for them as possible. Which somehow includes trespassing on his property to hang Christmas lights and braiding the little girl's hair regularly. Despite his glares and grumpiness, I discover the soft underbelly of the beast. Will this Grinch's heart grow three sizes as well? And if it does, will it have room for me? A Very Grumpy Christmas is a standalone, small town, neighbors to lovers romance featuring a grumpy single dad and the sunshiny neighbor who's determined to make his Christmas better. Full of heat and heart with an HEA guaranteed!

The Grumpiest Elf

2023

The last thing I need is to be trapped in a snowstorm with a pretty girl who can barely stand me … while I’m wearing an elf costume. The elf thing started at birth, since my parents portray Santa and Mrs. Claus for our family business every year. You could say being an elf is in my DNA, and everyone in our small town knows me that way. Except, I’m so tired of it. I mean, did my mom really have to give me the elf name of Elfie Tinselbottom? Not terribly masculine, if you ask me. To make matters worse, my very existence seems to piss off the newest elf—a gorgeous girl named Lydia who's just moved to Arcadian Falls. She's as sunshiny and filled with Christmas cheer as everyone else—except when she's with me. I seem to make her as frosty as an icicle. But an off-site party and a snowstorm traps us alone at the event space. How are we going to survive a whole night stuck together? Will I be able to break through the cold exterior she keeps up only around me? Or will I be doomed to be Santa's grumpiest elf forever? The Grumpiest Elf is a low angst Christmas rom com featuring a grumpy elf who just wants to be a normal guy and the new girl who cures him of his Grinchy ways. Light and fun and full of all the holiday feels!
