A Very Merry Enemy by Lyra Parish

He’s a cocky lumberjack who hates my guts, and this Christmas we’re forced to bake together…

Lucas Jolly and I have a secret history that left invisible scars. Now I’m back in Merryville, and he’s making it crystal freaking clear I’m about as welcome as fruitcake at a dessert table.
When his meddling Mawmaw signs us up as partners for the town’s Christmas Cookie Contest, there’s five thousand dollars and a family tradition on the line. Six weeks of forced proximity in a kitchen might actually kill me, but I could use the money.
Between heated arguments over cookie dough and even hotter stolen glances, I’m melting faster than snowflakes on fresh out of the oven gingerbread. The town thinks we’re secretly dating, but the truth is Lucas hates me. Even so, I’m one mistletoe moment away from crossing lines we swore we’d never cross again.
Now I’m wishing for a Christmas miracle because falling for Lucas Jolly nearly destroyed me once. Doing it again might be the sweetest mistake I ever make.

A Very Merry Enemy is a small town, holiday, enemies to lovers romantic comedy. It’s sweet and spicy with a dash of hate to love you. This is the final book in the Very Merry Series, but each can be read as a stand alone. For the full Lyra Parish experience, start with A Very Merry Mistake.
