Being Naughty Has Never Been So Nice!
When Lyla's father retired as CEO of the toy company which has been in their family for generations, she was meant to receive his shares. Instead, she discovers the company is bankrupt and her father has given her shares to Mason Klaus, an investor known in the corporate world for his cold and callous nature. Much to Lyla's frustration, her only option is to run the company with him, despite their evident loathing for one another.
When Mason cancels the annual Christmas party, Lyla throws it anyway - only for the event of the season to result in a terrible fire. With the offices and Lyla's credibility ruined, Mason offers her a deal: he'll forget her part in the disaster, but she must join his family for the twelve days of their Christmas holidays.
Taken to a fantastical winter wonderland, Lyla hopes that she might discover some of the secrets Mr Klaus is hiding, and maybe even a way to get her company back. However, when Mason introduces her to the secret village as his fiancée, she is horrified to realise she has no choice but to go along with the pretence - because the cost of bringing an outsider to their magical land is far too high.
Can Lyla resist the devilishly handsome Mr Klaus and the enchanting village to win back her company, or will she give into temptation?

Cute and Quick Holiday Read
I snagged this gem via @netgalley a while back, and I finally got to finish it yesterday. This story involved some of my favorite tropes (enemies to lovers, fake dating, etc.) while promoting the Christmas spirit. I loved Mason and Lyla’s personalities, although I wish their romance was fleshed out a bit more. The overall concept of bringing an outsider to Yule was intriguing, and I loved the magical realism of this story. Callaghan’s novel is fairly inclusive for an Irish Christmas story too, so that was a nice change from the holiday reads I’ve encountered so far. I would say this quick read is perfect for helping you get into the holiday spirit while working towards meeting your yearly reading goal 🎄
