It’s just a Christmas crush. Like a gingerbread house, it can’t last forever. Right? Joy I got a big fat lump of coal in my stocking, and it’s not even Christmas yet. In the span of three • I’m laid off from a premier architectural firm • The guy I thought was my forever dumped me. Then again, he couldn’t eat cheese, so maybe it wasn’t meant to be. But it was better than being alone • Oh, and I lost my apartment to a parrot (you read that right) Gio How I went from an in-demand globe-trotting photographer to peddling pizza at my family’s new shop may have been • Women in most major European cities have officially banned me • I have more speeding tickets in Monaco than I can count. Unfortunately, I’m only fluent in English and Italian • Maintaining my reputation is exhausting. Though, most would argue my life is one big weekend Joy Not only am I down on my luck but got demoted to pizza girl. And what’s worse is I have to work with my best friend’s brother, who I’ve liked since I still had braces. But he’s a flirt, so I know to keep my expectations at rock bottom. (By the way, hello from down here!) On the upside, the view of my pizza-flinging co-worker isn’t half bad. Gio The new cashier is a refreshing joy to be around. When we’re tasked with building a gingerbread house for a charity fundraiser, I find myself yearning to put down roots (and maybe even a foundation). The only problem is these French women won’t leave me alone. But the only person I don’t want to ignore me hardly looks my way. This is book 4 in the Costa Brothers Cozy Christmas Comfort Romance Series, following six single, stubborn, and loyal brothers as they find their happily ever afters. They’re clean and wholesome romance, faith-friendly, stand alone stories but are best enjoyed together.
