The Naughty List by Aria Cole

He’s grumpy, she’s sunshine, and this Christmas, opposites aren’t just attracting—they’re igniting... When Ivy, a spirited school teacher and Christmas enthusiast, rolls into the snowy mountain town of Copper Mountain, she’s determined to spread holiday cheer with her “Naughty or Nice” contest for the locals. But her festive mission hits a snag when she crosses paths with Cole, the town’s brooding mechanic who has little patience for Christmas spirit—or for Ivy’s relentless cheer. After a messy first meeting in his garage, Ivy decides that Cole, with his scowling gaze and refusal to embrace the season, is the perfect candidate for her Naughty List. From holiday dares and mistletoe mishaps to tangling up in Christmas lights, Ivy’s holiday challenge slowly chips away at Cole’s gruff exterior, bringing out a side of him he thought he’d long buried. But as Ivy works her magic on his hardened heart, Cole begins to realize he’s not just warming up to Christmas—he’s falling for the one woman who’s brought a spark back into his life. And with every stolen kiss and heated embrace, Ivy finds herself wondering if the man she’s determined to ‘fix’ might just be the one she’s been searching for all along. This Christmas, Ivy and Cole are about to discover that sometimes the best gifts can’t be wrapped up in a bow… What to expect: 🌲 LOL Holiday Banter 🌲 Sexy Christmas Puns 🌲 Epic Filthy, Dirty Talk 🌲 Grumpy-Sunshine Vibes 🌲 Small-Town Christmas Goodness 🌲 …and Candy Cane Shenanigans!
