# Most Eligible Scrooge by Elodie Nowodazkij

# Most Eligible Scrooge is the perfect Christmas steamy romantic comedy for you if you love Hallmark movies and romcoms with, um, the door open (aka it’s getting “hot” in Swans Cove).

Of all the PR stunts, fake-dating my brother’s best friend, Mr. Sizzling Hot Grumpy? This holiday season, love’s clearly on the naughty list. Right?
Fake-dating my brother’s grumpy best friend aka my once-upon-a-time high school crush? Definitely not on my Christmas list. Especially after he played Grinch with my heart last Christmas Eve. But when a scandalous video of me sneaking into his luxury hotel in just a teddy with Dasher the Cat in my arms goes viral, we’ve got no choice: turn him from the “Most Eligible Scrooge” to “Mr. Fixer-Upper Heartthrob” and save my PR gig.
Sure, Landon knows all my buttons (annoyingly well) and has this maddening way of making me swoon all over again, but we’ve got ground rules. Top of the list? No falling in love. Even if we get stranded in the most romantic small-town renovating a house for the holidays.

Dear Santa, it’s me, Julie. if you’re listening: grant me this one wish and I’ll toss in some extra cookies. And carrots for the reindeer, of course.
