Swept up in the magic that is Christmas in her hometown, the only thing that can possibly dampen her spirit is coming face to face with her childhood frenemy.  \nThomas, the Duke of Castleton.  \nThe man she spent her childhood feuding with thanks to an errant cricket ball is just as snarky, annoying, and gorgeous as she remembers. Despite running the village tree farm and his mother being the ringleader of all things Christmas in town, the past few years have turned him into a right little scrooge.  \nWhen a string of tragedies hit the wedding plans, Sylvie only has one person she can turn to: Thomas. Not that she has a choice—he has a habit of showing up exactly when she needs him to save the day, and she can’t stand it.  \nAnd when the ultimate disaster befalls the wedding just three days before the ceremony, Sylvie doesn’t see how it can go ahead.  \nBut Thomas can.  \nAnd it just might be his chance to prove to Sylvie how he truly feels about her—and save Christmas at the same time.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCHAPTER ONE – SYLVIE  \nThere was a pig in the middle of the road.  \nI was more surprised than I probably should have been, but in my defense, the pig was wearing reindeer antlers.  \nHow they were in place, I didn’t know.
