Gracie doesn't hate Christmas. She just hates how commercial it is, how busy it is, how everyone pretends that there's a winter wonderland even though they live in Australia and it's so hot she wakes up sweating every morning. OK, maybe she hates Christmas. Only now there's a sexy Police officer doing extra security shifts at the mall where she works, and he's determined to show her how great Christmas can be. But Gracie can't let her guard down, she can't start hoping, start dreaming, can she?

Jackson has three loves in life, Christmas, his rescue Dachshund Sacha, and all things Harry Potter. He is not prepared for the gorgeous, grinchy woman he ends up working with. He can't stand her, so why can't her get her out of his head?

A steamy, hopeful Christmas romance set in the summertime downunder. You'll never look at Christmas garlands the same way again.

For lovers of A.J Pine and Laurie Gilmore.
