I'm great at organizing Christmas. Falling for the chef? That wasn't on my list.

Everyone knows Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. So I make sure it's absolutely perfect for my B&B guests, even if we're on the Florida coast instead of the North Pole. With everything from sandcastle building to a traditional feast catered by the restaurant next door, my clients go home with idyllic Yuletide memories. But this year, my usual food partner has to call in his chef nephew from San Francisco to help.

And while he's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen, he doesn't know the first thing about traditional holiday fare. Built like a linebacker with beautiful brown hair and luscious caramel eyes, everything about him is wrong—his attitude, his ideas, even his name. "Dominic" just sounds like someone who thinks he can boss me around!

Except a lot of his proposals actually make sense. And he seems to know something about Christmas I don't: how to actually enjoy it. Suddenly, I'm feeling like Santa brought him to me. Until his California gourmet establishment wants him back.

Did I get coal in my stocking, or can I convince him to stay and make this a December to remember?

A Very Messy Christmas is a special holiday standalone novella in the Messy Love on Mango Lane romantic comedy series. If you like opposites attract, witty dialogue, and the magic of the season, then you'll adore Dineen Miller's sweet treat.
