The mayor just gave me an ultimatum: work with Ethan, my infuriatingly handsome rival and the town’s annoyingly perfect cocoa shop owner, or watch both our businesses go under. Now we’re stuck planning the holiday festival together. The late nights, the Christmas lights, the way he leans across the counter while handing me a cocoa I didn’t ask for… Every glance feels like a challenge, and every argument burns hotter than it should. I’ve always been straight. At least, that’s what I’ve always believed. But somewhere between the pine-scented planning meetings, the snowstorms, and Ethan’s warm, spice-sweet smile, something inside me is shifting. Something I can’t deny. Something I never saw coming. This truce was supposed to save the festival. Instead, it’s melting every line I swore I’d never cross.
