What happens when a Christmas tree plays matchmaker between a younger brother and his sister’s best friend? Rayanne Miller has a it's almost Christmas, and she doesn't have a Christmas tree set up in her beautiful new apartment. Unable to find help beyond her best friend’s younger brother, Rayanne is worried about spending time with the boy she grew up with and the man he’s become. Even if there’s a fangirl swooning at his cheeky grin and finely toned arms. The job must be completed, and it looks like Caleb Gardiner is the man for the job. Caleb Gardiner has gotten over Rayanne—gotten over that terrible and pathetic crush that started when he understood that girls could turn into goddesses with the blink of an eye. To his annoyance, he discovers that the minute Rayanne asks for his help, he’s at her beck and call. Abandoning all pretenses, Caleb takes the opportunity to fight with an oversized Christmas tree and get it into her apartment, if it means he can show her he’s no longer just a kid. Perhaps there’s magic in the air that can make dreams come true. The Trouble with Christmas is a steamy prequel novella with dual first person narrative. It’s an unexpected comedy of errors with twists and turns that will tug on all heart strings. 🎄 Tropes🎄 ✧ He Falls First ✧ Reverse age gap ✧ Sibling/Best Friend Romance ✧ Alpha Male ✧ Sassy Badass FMC ✧ All Grown Up (Caleb) ✧ Forced Proximity
