A sweet, wholesome, funny, grumpy and sunshine small town Christmas romance with a happy ever after.

Eli Carter

I came to Winter Creek to study a river.
That's it. One month of peace, fish, and freezing water samples.

Instead, I walked straight into:

A mayor who believes matchmaking is a form of public service.

A town gossip network with the efficiency of the weather service.

And Christina Montgomery -- the sharp-eyed, napkin-folding waitress who looks at me like I'm a bear crashing her campsite.

Somehow, within forty-eight hours, the whole town has decided we're "a holiday romance waiting to happen," and you'd think I proposed the way they're placing bets.

So now Christina and I have two choices.
Correct the record...
Or let this town believe what it wants while we survive the Christmas Festival together.

I'm only here until January.
She's sworn off people.
Will Winter Creek work its magic this year before time runs out?

Standalone. Happy Ever After. Tropes: Small town meddling, grumpy/sunshine (but she's the grump), fake dating, holiday festival chaos, town-wide matchmaking conspiracy, clean cozy romance.
