Under the Christmas Tree

Get ready to deck the halls… and dodge the flying ornaments.

Sadie Harper blew into Pineville, Michigan with one plan: sell her late grandmother's house, cash the check, and escape before anyone could force eggnog on her. Then she commits one teensy-weensy murder of a parked truck (no one was even inside!), and suddenly her holidays have gone from 'Ho, Ho, Ho,' to one hot mess.

Now she's stuck doing a week of court-ordered community service—decorating the town Christmas tree right alongside the grumpy, flannel-wearing contractor whose truck she demo'ed. And if the look in his eyes is any indication, he's not willing to forgive and forget.

Colt might want to deck something, but it isn't the town tree. Especially when the bossy, perfectly-put-together blonde micromanages every ornament he hangs and every strand of lights he strings. But between the candy canes and the tinsel, Colt finds himself doing the one thing he swore he wouldn't: falling for the one girl he knows he can't have.

Too bad Sadie was never planning to stay. And if she leaves, she just might take his merry little Christmas with her.

Under the Christmas Tree is a laugh-out-loud holiday rom-com packed with small-town Christmas cheer, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers banter, and one very determined perfectionist who might just steal a grumpy Grinch's heart. Perfect for fans of second chances, opposites attract romance, grumpy sunshine, and the magic of mistletoe.

Author's Note: All of my books are 100% written by human quasi-intelligence. Never AI.
