Nerdy or Nice by Sabrina Stark

Wanting Drake Slater – it’s more wrong than Santa in a Speedo.
A nerdy girl meets her match in this fun holiday romance from a USA TODAY Bestseller: Drake Slater – even his name screams trouble. With his killer looks and cocky smile, some might say he’s the good kind of trouble, the kind that even smart girls can’t resist.
It’s an oh-so festive thought, but I’d be a fool to get jolly for it. Unlike my carefree mom, I know that muscular pretty-boys are a recipe for disaster. Having witnessed far too many disasters already, I stick to guys of the other variety – nerdy or nice, preferably both.

Even then, I still play it safe.
Too safe?
It never felt that way…until my swanky new cat-sitting gig has me crossing paths with a certain someone I can’t quite figure out. Who is this guy, anyway? A slick pickup artist? A basement-dwelling mooch? Or something else entirely?
It’s one Santa-sized mystery. But I do know one thing for sure. Thanks to my policy of playing it safe, my life has gotten way too stale, like a Christmas cookie left out too long for the big guy.
Sure, I’ve avoided those horrible lows, but what about those spectacular highs? What about kisses at midnight and dancing until dawn? What about seducing a stranger or following your heart?
It all begs a serious question. What if playing it safe is the riskiest thing of all?
