Bah Humbug — Liz Lincoln

From author Liz Lincoln comes a swoony holiday romance with forced proximity, a wicked stepmother, and a trying-to-be-sunshine-if-it-kills her main character...Christmas and I have never been on good terms. Spending the holidays on a family estate in Vail with my wicked stepmother, clueless father, and their insufferable traditions? Not exactly merry and bright. But this year, I received a gift that wasn't on my wishlist: Austin Hempstead, my sister's brother-in-law. Austin is broody, grumpy, and the only person in Colorado as miserable as me. Unfortunately, Santa Claus-or rather, his meddling relatives-decided we need to make holiday magic together. You name it, we're stuck doing it-from shopping to snowy 5Ks to skiing. This is forced proximity at its most obnoxiously festive.I thought I had Austin all figured out as just another rich kid with a bah humbug attitude. But then he wove innuendo into stale old card games, shared cocoa and conversation by the fire, even saved my birthday. And don't get me started on how hot he is in those glasses. I'm beginning to realize he's more than just a gruff exterior and a Grinchy scowl. The problem? We're both carrying baggage heavier than stockings full of coal, and it's been a long time since I believed in holiday magic.Bah Humbug is a standalone romance loosely tied into the larger world of Liz Lincoln's Milwaukee. This book features high tension, laugh-out-loud moments, and scorching-hot chemistry. Please visit the author's website for a full list of content warnings.
