Perfect for you if...

  • You love grumpy/sunshine dynamics where the cynical person has actual reasons to be guarded, not just a personality quirk.
  • You're drawn to single parent romances that treat co-parenting and blended family hopes as central to the love story, not afterthoughts.
  • You want a Christmas rom com that's genuinely funny (questionable Christmas cookies, defiling Santa's throne) rather than saccharine.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer romances where the hero is completely emotionally available from the start, no grief or parental hesitation to work through.
  • You find small-town settings and PTO volunteer plots too cosy and predictable for your taste.
  • You're looking for high-stakes drama or tension beyond the romantic relationship itself.

About this book

Hardy is a widower determined to create better holiday memories for his daughter after last year's disappointment. Lacking the holiday skills his late wife had, he seeks help. At a PTO meeting, he makes a deal with Bella, his daughter's teacher: she'll coach him on Christmas traditions in exchange for his help building a Santa Workshop event. Bella is working to prove she's more than people assume by organizing an ambitious Christmas event. As she and Hardy work together decorating and planning, they begin to develop feelings for each other, despite Hardy's belief that he can't fall in love again and his concerns about his daughter's readiness. This is a holiday romance featuring a widowed firefighter/EMT father, a single mother, two children, and small-town setting with contrasting personalities.
