Hes a grumpy, single-dad lumberjack, and this Christmas I want to be the ginger in his bread…

Hudson Jolly is, ironically, the biggest Scrooge in Merryville, but Im not intimidated.

He warns me to stay away from him. However, Im convinced hes playing reindeer games.

When I learn hes searching for a nanny, I offer to help.

Out of desperation, he hires me.

Thats his first mistake.

The attraction is undeniable and after too much spiked eggnog, lines are quickly crossed. I jingle his bells, and Hudson becomes my ho ho ho, but—because theres always a but with broody men like him—only for the season.

Now Im wishing for a holiday miracle because the Grinch stole my heart or did I steal his?
