'Twas a month before Christmas, and all through the town,Everyone was ready to celebrate, except my hot and grumpy new neighbor.¿Christmas is my favorite time of year with the festive parties and holiday cheer. But having Connor Tyler move in next door is as much fun as searching for a burned-out bulb in a string of lights.His rugged good looks and guitar can make anyone swoon. That doesn't change the fact that he slammed the door in my face when I welcomed him with a tray of homemade cookies.But I won't let his bah-humbug attitude damper my holiday spirit. This year, more than ever, I need to deck the halls and revel in being jolly. As I ramp up my holiday cheer, Connor spends more and more time casting lingering glances toward my... mistletoe. When a blizzard hits, a gesture of hospitality leads to exchanging more than presents. As Christmas draws nearer, I chip away at his icy facade only to discover a painful truth. There's an expiration date on his time next door.And I'm certain I don't have enough boxes of tinsel to convince him to stay.

He's grumpy. A tattooed bad boy. And my best friend's brother.Ledger Hudson screams off limits. Instead of staying away, I tell him to kiss me. It's a kiss that sends tingles to places I never knew could tingle. When it's over, I need more. This good girl craves the bad boy. Our chemistry between the sheets...Undeniable.Turning the frown of the grumpasaurus upside down...Most fun I've ever had.Everything was perfect until my best friend found out. Ledger pushes me away, saying we're from different worlds. I tug him back, wanting to prove him wrong. When I'm dateless for the biggest gala of the year, he shows up as my knight in shiny combat boots. All my life I've been forced to follow a certain set of rules and a smokin' hot guy in ripped jeans and a motorcycle isn't on the list. When all the secrets and lies unravel, I'm left with nothing...Now it's the grumpy, bad boy who's determined to not let me go.

Mistake the young, hot guy for a stripper? Sure did. Have a one-night stand with him? Heck yes. Find out he's my new boss? Ah, crap... The first time I saw Van, with his charismatic smile and stunning good looks, I enthusiastically shoved dollar bills into his waistband. The second time, he walked into my bakery introducing himself as the new owner. He knows nothing about baking and desperately wants to sell the business. If he does, I'll lose my dream job. Somehow, I have to persuade him to keep the shop running. But so far, there's only one thing he seems enticed by... me.Sure, the attraction igniting between us is hotter than a chocolate flambé. That doesn't change the fact that it's never a good idea to mix business and pleasure. He's younger than me, and if things between us sour it could cost me my livelihood. Even so, he's a delicious temptation I'm finding impossible to resist...

One night.One kiss.A whole lot of messy feelings.Liana Pierce has been my best friend since freshman orientation at Harbor Highlands College. I knew all her secrets, and she knew all mine, but apparently there was one secret we were hiding from each other.Sure, I may have flirted with my best friend, but there's nothing that ruins a friendship faster than feelings. And I'm not in the market to find a new best friend so I'll keep my hands and lips to myself.Until Liana took a bet.I bet you won't kiss the next guy who buys you a drink.As I pulled out my wallet, I unknowingly became the next guy.Kissing my best friend changed everything, and all it took were three little words to spark this new desire...I bet you.
