The Vibe

Holly Chase never planned on falling for her brother’s teammate, and she certainly never expected to become the nanny for Camden Monroe, Philadelphia’s star quarterback and a decidedly grumpy single dad. But with Christmas approaching and Camden determined to keep his holiday spirit firmly under wraps, Holly is about to become a very tempting complication.

Camden is older, cocky, and seemingly immune to Holly’s cheerful Christmas energy. Unfortunately for both of them, working in close quarters makes ignoring their attraction nearly impossible. What starts with stolen glances and playful tension soon becomes something neither of them can easily dismiss.

With snow falling, Christmas lights glowing, and mistletoe practically everywhere, Holly and Camden find themselves caught between everything they know they should avoid and everything they desperately want. Their chemistry is warm, naughty, and impossible to resist.

A quick, steamy holiday escape set in the cozy Kroydon Hills world, Mistletoe Meet Cute is perfect for readers who want a grumpy hero, a sunshine heroine, plenty of Christmas charm, and a romance that turns up the heat.
