Mistletoe in the City

Derek's world is about to change forever-again. After his father's stroke, Derek Weston dropped out of college and returned home to help his parents with the family business, Oak Landing Apartments. Now living on the premises as the groundskeeper and handyman, he never expected the girl he'd secretly crushed on in high school to move into a unit right before Christmas or stir up desires he thought long gone.
Krista Hartley needs a fresh start away from her overbearing parents, but falling for the tattooed hottie who ignored her back in school wasn't in the plans. Despite old hurts, Derek's hot kisses and strong arms offer the shelter she craves. When another woman sets her sight on Derek and drives a wedge between him and Krista, they'll have to decide if their relationship is real, or just a winter fling. Mistletoe in the City is a steamy New Adult holiday romance novella with a scene depicting light drug use.
