A Very Badd Christmas by Jasinda Wilder

Emerson “Sunni” Day has no one. Her mother is a gambling addict, and her father works on oil rigs and couldn’t care less about her. On the first day of Kindergarten, she meets a girl named Delia Badd. Delia is the oldest daughter of Sebastian and Dru Badd. Over the years, Emerson becomes more and more like family to the Badds, until eventually, she lives with them and considers Delia her sister and Duncan and Dane—Bast and Dru’s hellraiser sons—her brothers. Now, she’s home for the holidays and about to graduate college. She’s got no plans to meet anyone. Her future is soccer—making the US Women’s National Team. That’s it. Anything—and anyone—else is just a distraction.

Hayden McCaffrey’s entire world is his parents. He went to college in town, works from home so he can be near them, and has no plans to change anything. And then, a few weeks before his parents were set to go on a fiftieth-anniversary Christmas cruise to Alaska, tragedy strikes, and Hayden finds himself accompanying his mother on the cruise. And he hates boats. With low expectations for their first Christmas after the tragedy, Hayden certainly isn’t expecting to meet a beautiful, fiery redhead with a giant, crazy, adopted family.

The Badds do what they do best: pull Hayden and his mother into their orbit and make them feel welcome. Sparks fly between Hayden and Emerson. Sparks are one thing, though: falling in love and making two completely different lives fit together? That’s a whole different ball game.

Take a sleigh ride with Hayden, Emerson, Bast, Dru, and all the rest of your favorite Badd and Goode characters in this full-length return to the world of the Badd Brothers, set twenty years after the events of the original series. It’s going to be a Very Badd Christmas, indeed.
