Once Upon a Christmas Eve (Love in Swans Cove, #0.5)

This grumpy sunshine Hallmark-worthy Christmas steamy romcom ends on a cliffhanger :-)...
He's my brother's best friend, a grumpy billionaire CEO colder than the North Pole. Probably couldn't find me with a GPS. Not that he's tried. She's my best friend's sister, the one who melts my icy exterior. Resisting her? It's like turning down the biggest deal of my life. But this Christmas Eve? Get ready.

Once Upon A Christmas Eve is a thrilling prelude to ‘# Most Eligible Scrooge'. Buckle up – the ride's shorter, but the drop's electrifying.

I'm Julie Simmons, the everything-assistant to a boss who makes Cruella de Vil look cuddly. Holidays? Ha! I was all set for a season tethered to my laptop, dancing to the relentless beat of my boss's whims. That was until she sent me on a mission impossible to the luxury hotel of Landon Adams. Landon. My brother's best friend. My personal Scrooge. My forever crush who's so distant he might not even remember we inhabit the same galaxy, let alone the same zip code.

Things take a twist with a bar brawl, thanks to some hockey players, and who comes to my rescue? Landon, in all his shining Armani glory. But who said I needed saving? And Landon's got enough CEO duties to deal with.

Back at my no-pet apartment, I'm greeted by a dog, my missing notebook, and... a knock at the door?

Wait, is that Landon?
