Christian Kringle: College professor, reluctant Santa, and...fake dating my neighbor? I'm a grinch and proud of it--but this year, there's no avoiding the Christmas cheer. First, I get roped into playing Santa. Shudder. Then, while trying to dodge a setup with my boss's brother, I somehow promise to attend a holiday party with my boyfriend--who doesn't exist. Next thing I know, my (soon-to-be former) best friend has set up a profile on a hookup app to find me a date. With the username of....wait for it...SantaWantsYourChimney. Go ahead and laugh. He sure did, the traitor. Before I can delete the profile, I match with an easygoing guy with amazing photos. His teasing about Santa kink makes me laugh, and blush, and feel things I haven't since my divorce. For the first time in years, I look forward to dating. Until we meet, and he turns out to be my neighbor. My very young, very off-limits neighbor who I've clashed with for years. Only now I know just how sexy, charming, and sweetly devoted to his daughter he is. I should walk away, but I still need that fake boyfriend. The only problem? Jaxson's so convincing I can't tell where the pretense ends and real feelings begin. Falling for him is easy. Loving his daughter? Effortless. Trusting that I can keep them is the hard part. It'll take the magic of love, family, and yes--even Christmas--to teach this old grinch new tricks. Sexted By Santa is a standalone holiday romance set in the Thrust Into Love universe.
