He's allergic to Christmas. I'm practically made of tinsel. What could go wrong?
I'm not saying Gage Lockett is the actual Grinch… but if someone in town woke up tomorrow to find all the candy canes missing, my money's on him. The man glares at twinkle lights like they personally insulted his mother. So when he accidentally reads my holiday bucket list—complete with "Kiss under the mistletoe" and "Make snow angels"—I hatch a plan. I thought he'd toss it in the trash where joy goes to die. Surprisingly, he decides to tag along. Now my friends and I are dragging Waterford's grumpiest bachelor to every holly-jolly event from ugly-sweater tree lighting to the sleigh race, and I swear I catch him almost smiling once. I'm not saying drawing out another one of those smiles made it onto my holiday list—not officially, anyway. When Gage volunteers for the town's Secret Santa fundraiser, I start seeing the man beneath the scowl. Maybe the one thing missing from my holiday list is… him. Date Yourself a Grinch is a cozy, closed-door, laugh-out-loud, small-town holiday romcom full of heart, humor, and just enough mistletoe to make even a Grinch believe in love. This story is a part of the Have Yourself a Merry Little Romance holiday trilogy.
