REINDEER GAMES BOOK #4 | MMMF | A GRUMPY/GRUMPY/GRUMPY/SUNSHINE TRUE (ISH) CRIME CHRISTMAS ROMANCE
Prancer
I’ve never met a mystery I didn’t want to solve.
Maybe that’s why I’m addicted to true-crime podcasts, send decidedly not safe for the sleigh fan mail to my favorite host, and can’t stop wondering about the mysterious boy who gave me one magical night at the Starfall Festival when we were children.
Some questions are better left unanswered.
Unfortunately, I’ve never been good at that.
When a powerful relic is stolen from the North Pole just before Christmas, the evidence points to the Grinchers—an exiled sect of green-furred Krampusee with a bad reputation and centuries of history in my home realm, the Court of Nightfall, that nobody wants to discuss. Yep, another unanswered question, in case you’re counting.
Santa needs a crime solver—and a guide through the Fae lands—to track down the thief. But an attack separates us, leaving me in the path of Nightfall’s responsibility-avoiding heir while my crime-solving cohort lands among the Grinchers we came to investigate. Their reluctant leader insists his people are being framed.
Soon, one stolen relic becomes a mystery centuries in the making, and the stories I grew up believing begin to unravel. As for the three men suddenly tangled in my investigation?
They may hold answers to questions I never knew I was asking.

This Why Choose Christmas romance blends the legends of Krampus and the Grinch with a true-crime mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s grumpy/grumpy/grumpy/sunshine & MMMF, so those ornaments are going to hang very close on the tree, my friends. Read with caution—and may your heart grow several sizes!

LATEST RELEASE
Willy
Re-membering Series
Book 2
Will:
My family's chocolate empire is under attack. Someone sabotaged the unveiling of my priceless chocolate statue and it nearly got me killed. Which may have been a better fate than I got, but I can’t think too much about my brand new “Li’l (um, big) Willy” because my newest employee—and high school crush—is hiding something.
Charlotte Bennett is talented, infuriating, and entirely too distracting for a woman under suspicion. The more time I spend investigating her, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry simmering between us. Unfortunately, attraction has a way of complicating even the best-laid plans. Now I have to decide whether Charlotte is the sweetest distraction ever... or the reason my world is crumbling.
Charli:
My high school friend’s scrawny, nerdy little brother has grown into a fit, grumpy billionaire with a chocolate empire. And for a pastry chef it was the obvious place to apply. He hired me on the spot, and I fit into Whim Chocolate Company right away.
Will Whim and I hit it off after reconnecting too, and he may even be attracted to me. Sweet, right? Who wouldn’t love attention from a hot, brooding billionaire? However, I did a horrible thing before I realized I wanted him and now I risk losing him if he ever finds out.
WILLY is a laugh-out-loud spicy romantic comedy featuring a grumpy billionaire chocolatier, a talented pastry chef, a sabotage mystery, forced proximity, private jets, meddling security guards, and enough chocolate to cause poor decision-making.
This is Book 2 of the Re-membering series, where Dr. Frankenpeen uses a bit of surgery and a lot of magic to re-attach some poor fellow’s “willy” after an accident. It’s unhinged, but in a good way. And it’s full of spice and laughs, so if you’re in the mood to ignore the dumpster fire world, grab a chocolate bar and get ready to indulge.
Note: any connection to a famous chocolatier in a purple top hat is pure imagination.
