Blurb:

When you catch your fiancé cheating on you with your sister on Christmas Eve, the elf hat comes off.
I’ve always been the good girl—the anti Scrooge—the one who sacrifices for her guests, bakes cookies for her neighbors, and stays late after a party to clean up.
I don’t mind. I like being on the nice list.

I kept smiling when I caught my fiancé coming down my sister’s chimney on Christmas Eve.
I gave polite congratulations when they got engaged on Christmas morning.
And I even offered to help decorate for their holiday wedding despite the fact that was supposed to be my dream wedding.

But when my sister cuts up our great-grandmother’s one-hundred-year-old wedding dress and turns it into a skank show, even though that was the dress I was going to wear on my wedding day?
Well, this elf is torching down the North Pole.

And what better way to get revenge than giving those cheaters a taste of their own medicine?
This good elf is bringing the bad boy home for Christmas.
Hudson is a six-foot-five, coldhearted, tattooed bad elf with a perpetual sneer and washboard abs.
He’s exactly my sister’s type.
And he’s going to help me nuke her wedding from orbit on the night before Christmas.

What he is not supposed to do is grab my ass in the kitchen while I bake gingerbread.
Or crawl in my bed half naked.
And he’s definitely not supposed to smirk and tell me to commit to our fake relationship right before he goes down on me.

Guess there’s a reason the good elves stay far away from the bad.

Good elves of Christmas unite! We’re ogling the tattooed chests of shirtless bad boys, baking massive amounts of cookies, drinking all the wine, and trying to survive recently divorced grandmothers who have a pathological obsession with our love lives. This standalone holiday romantic comedy has all the Christmas cheer you can fit in your stocking and a happily ever after, guaranteed!

Excerpt 

“No. No no no no.” 
I looked out of the upstairs bathroom window. I was quickly trying to shave my legs so that I could wear the dress I had planned on for tonight. 
My mom’s holiday party was in full swing. 
“Gracie!” my mom shouted up the stairs. “Gracie, I need you to make sure the spinach turnovers aren’t burning.”
“Coming, Mom,” I yelled as I desperately washed off the shaving cream. 
Okay, so there were a couple stripes of dark hair I had missed, but I wasn’t Kelly. I didn’t have nothing to do all day except pamper myself, dream up ways to cheat, and destroy historic dresses.
“This was supposed to be a hallucination you made up,” I muttered to myself as I raced downstairs. 
“Gracie, the spinach puffs.”
I ignored my mother and ran to the front door, catching Hudson as he was heading up the walkway, motorcycle helmet swinging in one hand, long shadow cast by the streetlight darkening freshly fallen snow. Hudson’s dark hair was trimmed short at the neck and fell in longer locks over his forehead.
“You,” I hissed, “cannot be here.” 
Hudson dipped his head down. In the Christmas lights that decorated my parents’ huge Victorian house, his eyes seemed almost luminous.
I shivered. 
You made a deal with the devil.
Then the devil needed to remove himself. 
Large hands encircled my waist, making me squeak. 
“You didn’t call me.” 
“I did not call you because I’m not ready for you to be here,” I said through gritted teeth. 
My second cousin and her new husband gawked at me and Hudson as they walked past us to the front door. 
“You need to leave now.” 
Hudson tipped my chin up, the stiff leather of the motorcycle glove rough on my chin.  
“Where’s the girl who was going to give me a hand job in a crowded bus? I don’t want weak soldiers.” 
I glanced back at the house. 
Through the large front-room windows, I could see everyone congratulating Kelly and James, gushing about the wedding, hinting at babies to come next Christmas. 
Hudson narrowed his eyes. 
“Shock and awe.”
I nodded and straightened. 
“I can’t hear you,” he said, voice softly mocking. 
“Shock and awe.”
“Good girl.”
