Series: Wayward Hollow #2
When I moved to Wayward Hollow, I promised myself three
Drink entirely too much coffee. Romanticize the hell out of life. Let myself finally belong somewhere. Enter Caleb - Wayward Hollow’s grumpy café owner who treats anything festive like it’s a contagious disease. Unfortunately for him, he let me strong-arm him into running a gingerbread booth with me for the Christmas Market.
He’s stubborn, sarcastic, hot…and the more time we spend together, the more glimpses I catch of the man hiding beneath his gruff exterior. Turns out, grumpy comes with a side of sweet.
But just as things start to feel merry and bright, old memories show up on our doorsteps, and turn whatever is happening between us more complicated than building a gingerbread house without icing.
And yet, somehow, I can’t help but wonder…
What if the town grump is the Christmas wish I didn’t even know I had?
