A Very Merry Mess Special Edition Paperback | A Sweet Christmas RomCom

 One impulsive text, one best friend who’s now a fake boyfriend, and a holiday charade that’s about to get very real.

Ryanne:

Bringing a date home for the holidays shouldn’t be a high-stakes competition. But with a mother who thinks outward appearances are everything and a family that thrives on one-upping each other, the pressure is crushing. When I vent to my best friend and co-manager, Elliott, about my family’s relentless expectations, he does the unthinkable: he grabs my phone and texts my mother that he’s my plus-one for the holidays.

Now I’m stuck bringing my best friend home for Christmas to play the part. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if I wasn’t already hiding my feelings for him…

Elliott:

I’ve always been the one to protect Ryanne, but volunteering to be her fake boyfriend means diving headfirst into the deep end. As we trade playful banter during family cookie competitions and navigate sharing one bed for the holidays, I find myself looking at her mouth way more than a “just friends” co-worker should.

What started as a simple favor to save her from her family is starting to feel like the only truth I’ve ever needed. Unfortunately, some other truths are hard to share, and the secret I’ve been keeping from her could ruin everything.

Will this friends-to-lovers gamble end in heartbreak, or is their pretend romance the perfect recipe for a happily-ever-after?

Fall in love with this sweet, clean, and no spice Christmas romcom where the lines between fake and forever beautifully blur.
