Once Upon a Christmas Eve

Tina’s Christmas spirit disappears the moment she catches her boyfriend cheating—two weeks before the holiday. She’s set on working through the season, dodging mistletoe and cheer, until a handsome, desperate shopper appears at her store after closing on Christmas Eve. Her sarcasm is sharp, but she lets him in… and finds herself sharing more than just retail space. Thomas has his own reasons to hate the holidays, but one night of banter, warmth, and undeniable heat melts the frost between them. What starts as a fling begins to feel like more, and as feelings deepen, so does the risk. Because sometimes the best gifts aren’t wrapped—they’re found.
