About this ebook

What does it take to ruin Christmas? One Scrooge of a billionaire, a fake diamond ring and a deep family secret.  

The holiday season has always been magical for me, especially at my toy store. Tucker Toys is a New York institution, where every twinkling light and festive melody brings joy to children and families alike. 

But my landlord, the notorious grumpy billionaire Alexander Jackson, has increased the rent to a level that’s crippling. I now understand why they nickname him Scrooge, because my family is facing financial ruin and he doesn’t care. Not one bit.

But then Alexander presents me with an offer I can’t refuse: be his fake fiancée for the season, and he’ll let me keep my store. I’m skeptical, but desperate times call for desperate measures and I owe it to my family.

What starts as a business arrangement quickly becomes something more. Alexander's touch is electric, and his kisses are dangerously real. As we navigate this pretend engagement amidst the holiday chaos and increased media scrutiny, I can’t ignore the growing feelings that blur the lines between make-believe and reality.

This Christmas was destined to destroy me, but I might find that the greatest gift isn’t saving my store, but discovering a love that feels as magical as the season itself.

An opposites attract, easy read stand alone book from this author. Alex is a driven, nothing but business, billionaire, always looking to make more money, glass half empty man. Haylee is a sunshine happy, glass half full girl who cares more about other people and family than herself. These two come into each others worlds by mistake and circumstances bring them together. A Hallmark worthy Christmas story

Despite Alex's Scrooge-like behavior, this story is charming. It's about legacy, truth, goodwill, and forging your own path. Haylee is a wonderful example of the Christmas spirit, of giving without expecting anything in return, of happiness and contentment. I enjoyed this holiday romance. It's a gamut of emotions wrapped up in the slow burn of falling in love.
