Description

Snowed in. One rented cabin. Two grumps who were never supposed to fall for each other.

Avera spends Christmas with her family out of duty, wary of the endless traditions, forced cheer, matching pajamas, and a meddling aunt who never misses a chance to question her choices. What she didn't sign up for was sharing the crowded mountain lodge with her brother's friend: Nick, a brooding, quiet man with rough edges and a way of looking at her that feels far too honest.

They're equally skeptical of holiday magic, equally allergic to forced fun, and… trapped when a blizzard shuts the world outside and family drama keeps everyone on edge.

The two find unexpected comfort in shared silence, dry humor, and moments that feel warmer than the fire crackling in the hearth, but is their fragile connection strong enough to survive once the snow melts?

Would she follow her heart… or bend to her family's resistance?

Saint Nick and the Grinch Who Stayed is a cozy, closed-door, grumpy-meets-grumpy Christmas romance full of family meddling, slow-burn tension, and the sweetest kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
