The Neighbor's Gift

Coming home for the holidays, I expected the usual.
Twelve days of Christmas traditions, Mom’s amazing cooking,
and a whole lot of quiet, cozy nights in.
Until one phone call changes all that.

It results in me becoming a fill-in nanny to two cute little boys for the festive season for my new boss who’s one hot, grumpy, single father.
He also just happens to be the next-door neighbor who has quickly learned how to push my buttons in the most devilish of ways.

Life just got real messy, and I’m not talking about the kids.
I’m here for two weeks, hiding my hurt after a breakup left me scarred.
Meanwhile, Landon hasn’t looked twice at a woman since his wife died.
But despite the chaos, there’s something unexpected building between us, fueled by my pair of red-and-white candy cane socks and a man who is suddenly discovering his sweet tooth.

Oh, Christmas just got a whole lot spicier!
