When my lying ex leaves me with a raccoon-infested disaster instead of a renovated beach house, the last thing I expect is to fall for the grumpy contractor who rescues me.
I'm Monika Graham—yes, that Monika Graham. A-list actress, tabloid regular, and currently homeless thanks to my ex-boyfriend stealing my money and abandoning my grandmother's dream house mid-renovation.
Enter Griffin former special forces, current contractor, and the man who finds me having a midnight standoff with a gang of raccoons. He's gruff, bossy, and looks at me like I'm a disaster he needs to fix.
He says the house can't be ready by Christmas. I say watch me. Then he offers me his couch, and suddenly I'm living with a man who makes coffee strong enough to strip paint and kisses me like I'm not a celebrity. Just a woman he can't resist.
Working side by side to restore the house, I discover Griffin sees the real me, not the Hollywood version. The problem is, once Christmas comes, I’m going back to LA. But with every day that passes, leaving him feels more impossible.
A steamy, funny, small-town Christmas romance about finding home in the last place you expect—and the man who makes you believe in happily ever after, even when you've forgotten how to believe in yourself.
