The Christmas Market Mix-Up

Sadie Kim has twelve nights to save her candle studio. Adam Whitaker has twelve nights to finish the work that honours his grandfather. Thanks to a booking error at the Almonte Christmas Market, they have to do it from the same ten feet of stall — her soy candles on his hand-carved wood, his memory boxes glowing beside her lanterns, and every shopper in town convinced they are a couple. When the pairing doubles both their sales, they agree to lean in: rules in writing, total honesty between them, and an ending word either can use. Then comes a sponsor poster neither approved, a rival vendor's complaint, and a final night that could decide her lease and his goodbye. Steamy, funny, and guaranteed a happily ever after.
