Clara Hayes and Noah Carter have one thing in common: ambition. At Evergreen Creative Agency, they've battled for every account, every presentation, every sliver of praise. And this Christmas, the biggest promotion the company has ever offered is on the line. The assignment? Plan the firm's annual Christmas Gala. The catch? They have to plan it together. Forced to share late nights, coffee-fueled brainstorms, and way too many sarcastic comments, Clara and Noah begin to see sides of each other they've never bothered to notice-softness, sincerity, warmth. But just as sparks begin to flicker, a sabotage threatens everything they've worked for. With the clock ticking and snow falling outside, Clara and Noah must decide whether they'll protect their pride... or take a chance on something sweeter than victory. After all-mistletoe doesn't ask questions. This book originally carried another story, but for Christmas, I removed the old content and created a completely new one in its place. What you're reading now is a fresh beginning, written with warmth and care. I hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas! - Ishu
