How the Wench Stole Christmas

IT WAS GOING TO BE THE WORST CHRISTMAS EVER!
​​​​​​​
Simi flees New York for Vermont when her boyfriend of twelve years announces that he's met someone else and no longer wants to be with her. Heartbroken and humiliated, she finds some comfort in the company of her best friend, Myla, in a picturesque little town called Sylvan Hollow. But that comfort doesn't last for long. When Simi comes face to face with Myla's neighbor, Dexter Reid, she encounters yet one more reason for the season to be not so jolly.

Dex is unprepared for Simonette Peyton. She's cold, difficult, and inconveniently beautiful. After one bad marriage and a strained relationship with his only child, he's neither looking for love nor expecting to find it, and he certainly doesn't have time to waste on a woman so determined to dislike him.

But all their rubbing each other the wrong way feels deliciously right, and Simi presents too tempting of a challenge for Dex to pass up. Once he finally convinces her to have only one date with him, she has four more, and in just one week, they are well on their way to the merry kind of Christmas that neither of them had anticipated.

But will the fire they've built stay so delightful?
