Maverick Alvarez has it the job of his dreams, a stylish city apartment, and a beautiful fiancée to share his life with. But when he finds his soon-to-be bride in bed with another man, he needs to get out of Brisbane—so he heads to his sister’s home in Bindarra Creek. Holly David loves Christmas, revelling in the magic of mistletoe, sparkling baubles, and the comforting aroma of gingerbread baking in the oven. Renting out her spare room over the holidays is a great way to help pay the bills—especially since she’s got more than enough seasonal cheer to go around. Thanks to an accommodation mix-up, Maverick is stuck spending the season with Holly. She’s the sunshine to his Grinch, yet despite their differences, their attraction burns brighter than the Christmas lights. Holly wants to show him that home truly is where the heart is—she just hopes that’s with her. Can Holly show this grinch the true meaning of Christmas?
