Grump Hard by Lili Valente

He hates Christmas. She’s the ultimate fruitcake fan. This is war.
Billionaire Luke Ratcliffe is trapped in small-town Vermont for the holidays, forced to honor his late grandfather’s dying wish. His survival plan? Avoid the locals, skip the festivities, and definitely don’t get caught breaking into the town hall to destroy the town’s hideous Christmas tree topper.
Too bad pet photographer Holly Hadley has him on tape.
Now Silver Bell Falls’ resident sunshine enthusiast has blackmailed him into being her Grinchy holiday assistant: Tree lightings. Gingerbread competitions. Wrangling cats, dogs, and a chipmunk (don’t ask) into Santa hats for the camera.
It’s Luke’s version of hell.
But somewhere between the forced holiday cheer and Holly’s infectious laugh, the ice around his heart begins to thaw. She sees the man who’s forgotten what it feels like to belong somewhere. To someone.
Can Sunshine and Scrooge really live happily ever after? Or is this mismatched holiday love doomed from the start?
ALERT: Grump Hard is a re-imagining of the novella, The Grumpy Billionaire who Stole Christmas. The first two chapters are the same, but the following 50,000 words are brand new! This longer, steamier, full-length novel gives Luke & Holly an even more satisfying happily-ever-after and launches the Silver Bell Falls holiday series!
(Look for new books from Silver Bell Falls every November, just as it starts to smell like snow…)
