She loves Christmas. He’s the tattooed neighbor who throws loud parties. They’re supposed to hate each other.

Holly Bennett is a kindergarten teacher who goes all-out for the holidays. Her new neighbor Dash—with his motorcycle, tattoos, and late-night bar crowd—is her complete opposite. When their building’s HOA forces them to work together on Christmas decorations or face a fine, Holly’s sure it’ll be a disaster.

Until she discovers his secret: the bad boy bar owner volunteers as Santa at the children’s hospital. And suddenly, the man she thought she knew becomes someone she can’t stop thinking about.

But when her judgmental ex shows up and her teaching colleagues question her choices, Holly and Dash have to decide: cave to outside pressure, or stand together and prove that love doesn’t fit in a box?

An enemies-to-lovers short story holiday romance with a misunderstood bad boy, nosy neighbors, and a guaranteed HEA. For readers who love tattooed heroes and the women who see past the ink!
