The Clause In Christmas (Poppy Creek Series Book 1)

An unexpected inheritance. A pesky clause in the will. And 25 days to avoid falling in love. Cassie Hayward hates Christmas. Especially this year. No job. Flat broke. And an ex most definitely on the naughty list. The unexpected inheritance of a charming Victorian cottage in the quaint town of Poppy Creek may be the Christmas miracle Cassie needs. Except for one itty-bitty problem: a clause in the will. To inherit the house, Cassie must complete a series of festive tasks every day in December leading up to Christmas. All overseen by the handsome, Christmas-loving lawyer Luke Davis. Luke is as strong as steady as the bespoke furniture he crafts as a hobby. He has to be. Stepping into his late father's shoes as the town lawyer comes with a sleigh full of responsibilities. Which means the captivating stranger collecting her inheritance is a distraction he can't afford. Opposites collide as the two work together to complete the daily tasks, and fighting their attraction becomes more futile than putting jolly ole St. Nick on a diet. But when Cassie's ex reappears with the offer a lifetime, Cassie will have to choose between love and the life she always wanted.
