Can this older mountain man resist holiday cheer… or will he claim the curvy girl who’s determined to melt his icy heart? 🎄 Holly At 24, I believe in three Holiday magic, happily-ever-after’s, and the healing power of smutty paperbacks. But when a big, grumpy mountain man stomps through my door, I forget how to breathe. Grayson Frost is forty-three, all flannel and frowns. He doesn’t want company, And he definitely doesn’t want me. Too bad I’ve just volunteered to help him sort through his late uncle's library... 🏔️ Grayson I came down the mountain to tie up loose ends, Not to get tangled in curves, chaos, and candy cane lip gloss. Holly is all of that. She’s also too young for me, But temptation is hard to outrun. I don’t do relationships, I don’t do Christmas, But I do want her. Under me, moaning my name, and wearing nothing but tinsel. Dear Readers, If you love spicy small-town Christmas romances with a grumpy mountain man, a curvy sunshine heroine, and a swoony age gap burn that turns very hot, this one’s for you. Think snowed-in cabin, forced proximity, steamy bookish banter, and a grinch who gets very naughty under the mistletoe. As always, this title comes with Khloe’s Easy Escape no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA, that’ll leave you warm all winter long.
