Synopsis:
Two Inn's, one town, and there' not enough room for the both of them.
Add in a reindeer-ish donkey, a Christmas competition, and a rivalry to end all rivalries and you're bound to end up in disaster, right?
Finn Mayberry has enough on his plate trying to keep his Grandparents Inn afloat. The last thing he needed was some California state of mind starlet bulldozing into his town and throwing up a five-star resort right next to his family's Inn.
But, now she's here and he can't get her out of his town or his head.
Freya Anderson took one look at the snowcapped mountains of Hollyridge, and fell in love. She's finally here and ready to take on the task of proving to her father that she can handle running Alpine.
She never expected to make enemies with the sinfully delicious lumberjack of a man who runs the inn next door. He's moody, impossible and completely off limits.
There can only be one winner, but you know what they say. All is fair in love and... Jingle Wars?

Excerpt
This man is not the charmer he pretended to be when he caught me in his strong arms. Underneath the handsome rugged exterior is a stubborn grouch with enough brittle pinecones shoved so far up his ass you can smell the sickly sweet sap seeping out of his pores.
"Sure you're not, traitor," Finn says. "That what they call business savvy back in California board rooms? Because around these parts, it's called bossy."
"Well, what you are is called rude." I hop off the arm of the adirondack chair I was perched on, striding over to the fence line separating my resort's property from his family inn. "All you've done is make assumptions about me, and I'm getting sick of it."
The corner of Finn's mouth pulls up to one side in a sardonic curve as he folds both arms over the top of the fence, leaning his weight on the wood. My brows pinch together in annoyance. He's using his height to undermine me because I'm not tall enough to get in his face to challenge him, but I won't back down. Curling my fingers over the top of the fence on either side of his folded arms, I push as high as I can on tiptoe to see over the fence. Finn's gaze bounces between my eyes for a beat, a flash of surprise there and gone in a second before he settles his thick brows back into a sour expression.
"You need to get over yourself," I say.
"Do I now?" His voice is a low rumble from this close.
It occurs to me how this might look to my staff. Instead of meeting this jerk eye to eye, it could also appear intimate, like we're about to kiss. Crap. If I lean back, he wins.
The bright glint in his eye and the twitch of his lips has me guessing he's drawing the same conclusions. I tighten my grip on the wood to stave off the frustration simmering beneath my skin.
