A coffee shop tease and a combustible attraction take Mr. and Mrs. Claus on a wild ride.

Malcolm Clausen has spent years working toward one goal—finally having a school to call his own. He isn’t looking for distractions…until a Christmas-sweater-obsessed woman with a sassy sense of humor derails his morning coffee run. She’s witty, impossible to ignore, and far too tempting for a man who thrives on control.

Maggie Green knows she shouldn’t flirt with strangers, especially ones who look like they could bench-press her car. But when their banter turns into something more, she’s suddenly finding reasons to hope again—new job, new home, and maybe even a new chance at love.

Between holiday chaos, complicated careers, and an attraction that keeps pulling them back together, the season of giving might just hand them the one thing neither expected: Each other.
