Deck the Halls with Love, Laughter, and Spice in This Feel-Good Festive Rom-Com

Sheldon should be having a horrible day.

He’s been unexpectedly transferred to a new school right before the holidays, with only one day to set up his classroom. To top it off, he’s just discovered his twin sister was hiding an invitation to his ex-boyfriend’s Christmas Eve wedding.

And yet, he’s still ready to take on the world with a smile on his face and a skip in his step.

Theo just wants to be left alone to do his job. But when the chipper new first-grade teacher needs help moving furniture, he's forced to do something he detests. Help.

To make matters worse, Theo's overbearing parents are coming for Hanukkah in a few weeks, and he's told them he has a boyfriend. Except… he doesn't.

Working together, these opposites discover they might just be able to help each other out. But only if they don’t let their pasts get in the way.

Perfect for fans of HEARTSTOPPER, RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE and Emily Rath this spicy MM romance is ready to give you all the feels this Christmas!
