A misunderstanding sparks an enemies-to-lovers romance between an outdoorsman and an aspiring writer in this funny and festive Christmas-themed novel.

Maria: Criminals. Mafia. That’s what everyone said we were. I never believed the rumors, though. I’d know if anything shady was happening in my family. Except…I didn’t. When my best friend disappears from the Belvedere, I knew I could find her. Because while I might be clueless about my family, I know everything that happens in my hotel. That’s when I found him. I thought he was the bad guy. My enemy. He wasn’t. But just because I misjudged him doesn’t mean he can’t destroy me….and my heart…

To me, he was Grizzly. To the world, I would learn, he’s someone else completely. I should have died on that mountain. But he rescued me. More animal than man, he’s cold, distant, and fiercely territorial. He seems to hate me for simply breathing, and yet, he brought me back to life.
