Mayhem Under the Mistletoe

Tis the season for a fake romance!

All Fiona wants for Christmas is to repair the broken pieces of her life after an ugly breakup. Thanks to her ex, she's sworn off men, at least until her emotional scars have a chance to heal. For now, she'll settle for watching her hot downstairs neighbor from the safety of her balcony when he goes on his daily run. But things get messy when her Grinch of an ex shows up on her doorstep, insisting they get back together and refusing to take no for an answer.

Enter Joseph Pinto, security specialist, former Navy SEAL medic, and Fiona's hot neighbor…

All Pinto wants for Christmas is a cold beer, a hot pizza, and for his hockey team to win on home ice. Is that really too much to ask? But his meddling mother is playing matchmaker, and he can't enjoy a moment's peace with all that racket upstairs. After sending Fiona's ex packing, he proposes a relationship of convenience: in exchange for protecting Fiona from her ex, she'll help convince Pinto's mom to stay out of his love life. 

Just one problem…

It doesn't take long for their fake relationship to start feeling very real. The tree is decorated, the mistletoe is hung, and the temptation to act on their mutual attraction is growing stronger by the minute. But the ex from Hell is determined to get Fiona back at all costs, and his mom is still causing trouble. Pinto's determined to keep Fiona safe, but who will protect them both from the greatest threat of all, a broken heart?

Please note: when the clothes come off, the bedroom door stays open. Also, characters use profanity, because sometimes, "gosh darn it, you big meany-head" just doesn't cut it.
