Clara Sterling has spent three years protecting her father's legacy—meticulous warm-white lights, flawless lines, and a reputation built on quiet perfection. Then Ethan Vance blew into Pine Ridge with his neon-blue truck, smart-home automation, and a smirk that makes her want to staple his perfect hair to a gutter. Eighteen months of poached contracts and passive-aggressive ladder standoffs later, the town drops the ultimate lump of coal in their stockings: a tied vote forcing them to co-design the square's holiday display. Split right down the middle. Three weeks. One gazebo. Zero personal space.
The arrangement is a disaster waiting to happen. Clara's vintage circuits can't handle Ethan's thirty-amp light shows; his "dynamic winter wonderland" triggers her photocells and her migraines. But between midnight soldering sessions and emergency blackout repairs, the current between them shifts. He knows her father's name. She knows the rhythm of his childhood Christmases. When a sabotage threat targets the display—and the town's beloved lighting ceremony—they'll have to trust each other's hands in the dark, trading barbs for something far more dangerous: the realization that the rival you can't stand might be the only one who sees you clearly.
*The Christmas Light Truce* is a steamy, laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers romance set against a backdrop of tangled C9 strands, cocoa-fueled truces, and a small town that sparkles with second chances. Perfect for readers who love forced proximity, banchy banter, and the glow of a perfectly lit happily-ever-after.
