Holly's Jolly Christmas - Special Edition

Lesson one: Don't ask a stranger for dating advice while drunk.

Lesson two: Don't fall for your dating coach.

Lesson three: Oops.

My dating life is a disaster. Getting stood up at a bar was far from how I envisioned my night. But when the brooding yet incredibly hot bartender, Mark, keeps pouring me drink after drink, things take an unexpected turn. After a drunken dance and a broken glass, I find myself asking him to become my dating coach.

Mark is completely wrong for me. He's grumpy, a Christmas scrooge, and adamant that he doesn't want a relationship. He's only supposed to be helping me navigate the dating world. But what begins as "just friends" quickly becomes nights of ice skating, baking cookies, and late-night conversations that make my heart flutter.

The more time we spend together, the more the chemistry between us crackles. And I start to wonder if maybe... Mark might be exactly what I've been looking for all along.
