All I want for Christmas is his complete and total destruction.

The only thing standing between me and an idyllic Christmas in Hideaway Harbor is Enzo Cafiero, the hot jerk whose family runs the Italian market next door to the coffee shop where I work.

He hates me because I convinced his girlfriend to break up with him a few months ago. In my defense, his now-ex ran into the coffee shop sobbing. All I did was make her a latte and validate her feelings.

He didn’t even live here at the time—they were just visiting—but he does live here now.

He ditched his cushy NYC consulting job so he could save his family business. I’d admire his loyalty if he didn’t seem determined to ruin my Christmas. Because within minutes of his return, we’re trading barbs, destroying each other’s holiday events (RIP Santa Speed Dating), and having price wars.

I loathe him. And, unfortunately, I really want to push him under the mistletoe.

Hideaway Harbor is the last place I want to be. But family means everything to me, so I left the big city to help mine.

Getting dragged into a full-on holiday feud with the girl next door wasn’t part of the plan, but I’m living for my hate-off with Lucy.

The truth is, I’d rather argue with her than get along with anyone else.

The Holiday Hate-Off is a small-town enemies-to-lovers romcom with dueling shopkeepers, sharp banter, intense chemistry, secret letters (think You've Got Mail), and close proximity.
