A runaway bride. A grumpy bookseller with a heart of gold. A friends-with-benefits deal that’s just for the holidays…

This job selling Christmas ornaments in Hideaway Harbor was supposed to be the perfect escape from my powerful ex and the mess I left behind when I left him at the altar. But somehow my new neighbour is a guy who hates Christmas?

Fredrik owns the bookstore next door, and he might just be the world’s biggest grump. Not that it matters, but he’s also drop-dead gorgeous… He’s everything I shouldn’t want – moody, reclusive, and allergic to holiday cheer. Yet he keeps showing up for me. Saving me when I almost freeze in my run-down accommodation. Getting surprisingly steamy in his backyard sauna…

And suddenly, we’re tangled in something neither of us is ready for. We’re polar opposites, but the chemistry is incredible. I should keep running, but this small town is starting to feel like home.

And Fredrik might be the reason I finally stay…

About author


Enni Amanda

Enni Amanda is a Finnish–New Zealand romantic comedy author and illustrator who writes warm, witty love stories with real-life bite. Born in Finland, she moved to New Zealand in 2006 and now lives in the Waikato with her husband and two sons.

Trained as a graphic designer, Enni designs and illustrates character-forward covers for romantic comedy and romance, and her visual background carries through into her fiction. She later studied filmmaking and spent years writing screenplays. She brings that cinematic sensibility to her novels through vivid locations, wanderlust-inducing storylines, and clever banter. Together with her husband, she also co-founded Uneton48, the 48-hour filmmaking competition in Finland.

A lifelong storyteller, Enni wrote her first “book” at age eleven on her dad’s Amstrad computer. It was seventy pages in Finnish and starred her dolls in an imaginary coastal town in Norway. Years later, she returned to fiction, writing in English, and built a growing body of romantic comedies that blend humor, big feelings, and swoony chemistry, often set in small towns that become characters in their own right.

Enni’s work has been featured on the TODAY Show. When she’s not writing, she’s usually drawing, spending time with her boys, or trying to learn something insanely hard, like pole fitness.
