The Christmas Complication

A fake boyfriend. A small Christmas town. One chance at love that might not be pretend. Her shop is crumbling. His heart is guarded, but one snowy December in Pinehill, they just might find love wrapped up with a bow. Evangeline has always believed in Christmas magic, just not for herself. Between her struggling ornament shop and her cousin's very public engagement to her ex, she's bracing for another holiday season alone.
Enter Jensen: charming, infuriating, and far too handsome for her peace of mind. From the moment he calls her Goldilocks, he manages to catch Evangeline, sometimes literally, when she least expects it. What begins as sparks of banter soon turns into late-night talks, shared traditions, and a kiss that feels like coming home. Evangeline's heart has been bruised before, so can she afford to risk it all on a man who's only meant to stay through Christmas?Full of cozy holiday charm, found family warmth, and the sweetest slow-burn romance, this is a small-town Christmas love story for anyone who believes that the best gifts can't be wrapped.
Perfect for fans of grumpy-sunshine banter, small-town holiday romance, single heroine redemption arcs, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
