The Holiday Claus

A Starlight Pines Standalone

By: Ann Einerson

Narrated by: Lucas Dixon, Heather Firth

Santa had it right with his naughty and nice lists.

Me? I was firmly Team Nice. Need help throwing together a holiday wedding in four days, big brother? No problem. Need me to share my bed with your super-hot best friend? If I must. Want to be sure I won't accidentally fall in love with said super hot best friend—Brooks Claus? Can't promise that.

He may have moved away from our small town years ago, but there's something about being near him again that brings back memories of that innocent crush I never quite got over. Fifteen-year-old me had good taste because Brooks remains the hottest guy I've ever seen. Biceps to die for and a perpetual frown I wish I could flip.

He's far too serious, much older, and exceptionally grumpy to ever be mine.

Until he kisses me under the mistletoe.

Where in the fine print does it say that being a little naughty can also be nice?

Such a feel good holiday novella!! Make it brother’s best friend, grumpy billionaire, & an age gap?! Yes please.
This one was full of chemistry, banter, and the perfect spice! Don’t forget the cutest little pup, Winston! 🤭

Brooks & Lila’s story was such a good one. Brooks is back in town years after being away for his brother’s wedding. Lila has had a childhood crush and his return stirs up all the memories & feelings! Their connection was undeniable & the added banter made this one so fun!
