Fake dating the village grump is not what this grinch had planned…

Sasha

Since inheriting my grandmother’s Christmas shop in the Cotswolds, I have one goal: honour her legacy and ensure the business survives. There’s just one problem.

I hate Christmas.

When Sebastian King threatens to tell the whole village, I have no choice but to fake date the annoyingly handsome, grumpy single dad to keep him quiet. In exchange, he’ll help me find my festive spirit as long as I play pretend.

The trouble is, I’m not good at pretending…

Sebastian

Since my rugby career ended, I have one goal: spend quality time with my daughter and make my grandmother happy. If that means helping fulfil her Christmas wish list, so be it.

Except, there’s only one wish, and it’s about me: find a girlfriend for Christmas and finally settle down.

Dating every single woman around is not the festive season I had in mind. So, when I discover Sasha Smith’s secret, of course I use it to my advantage. Despite our mutual dislike, a fake relationship with the curvy redhead fixes everything. There’s just one problem.

Our first fake kiss felt a bit too real…
