There are two things Ben Schumacher can happily live sex and Christmas.  All Ben wants for Christmas is to be left alone (and maybe to snuggle by a fireplace with a cute guy). He is sick of the holiday season with its real Christmas trees, whimsical traditions, and overall cheer.  The Heart Troubled by Ben's lack of Christmas cheer, a mysterious (and frankly creepy) old man gifts him with a glass heart that glows when the beholder is full of Christmas spirit. Its light extinguishes as it falls into Ben's hand. He's soon offered a challenge to make the heart glow before Christmas. A challenge he ignores. He has better things to do than save Christmas. Like snuggling with a cute prince.   The Prince As the Christmas season begins, he's dragged to the quaint county of Mistelvia to visit his cousin, Julianna, who just happened to marry to a prince. On his first night at the palace, he run into Nikolas, a scruffy book nerd and Julianna's brother-in-law.  Last Christmas, the two bonded at Julianna's wedding and became friends. Now both single, it seems like Ben will get his wish to snuggle with a cute guy; however, merry misfortunes throw a wrench into his plans as Christmas is attacked by a mysterious spirit known as Grumpus.  And the only way to stop this malevolent force of Christmas mayhem is for Ben spread a little holiday cheer. Because Grumpus only goes when the Christmas Heart glows.  

From the creator of the viral TikTok videos about the sunshine assistant to the evil villain and their unexpected romance comes the third book in the hotly-anticipated fantasy romance series.

Being Ms. Claus kinda sucks. During my favorite holiday of the year the only thing anyone cares about is what my brother Santa is doing. But when the famous Christmas Eve ride is threatened, it’s up to me to fix it. And the only person who can help me solve the mystery is the little boy who used to pull my pigtails when I was a kid. But Krampus isn’t such a little boy any more. He’s all grown up into a seven-foot tall demon, with a penchant for punishment, and this year he has his sights set on more than just Santa’s naughty list. He wants me. Will being thrown together light a yule log of romance? Or will meeting under the mistletoe be the distraction that destroys Christmas?
