In the picturesque town of Winter Grove, the tenacious Alicia Whittaker faces off against her best friend's snobbish brother, Zeke Brighton, when his disapproval of his sister's boyfriend threatens to upend their Christmas. -- Tenacious college student Alicia Whittaker wants this Christmas to be the best, especially since it's her last holiday season with her best friend Celeste in Winter Grove. But Celeste's domineering older brother threatens their happy holiday plans when he vocally disapproves of Celeste's beloved boyfriend, Sterling. Unwilling to sit by and let him ruin their Christmas, Alicia is determined to change Celeste's brother's mind... and heart. Discerning and domineering, Zeke Brighton only wants the best--for himself, his family, and his baby sister Celeste. But when he's introduced to Celeste's new beau, Sterling, Zeke is far from impressed. He believes his brilliant little sister is wasting her potential with a low-class bartender, and he is determined to open her eyes. He won't let anyone get in his way... certainly not his sister's charming best friend. -- This is book 2 of the Winter Grove Christmas Series, though it can be read as a standalone. --- ✨ Rankings & Features #1 in #Winter #1 in #Holiday #3 in #Xmas #3 in #NaNoWriMo #5 in #Hallmark
