Merry with a Grumpy Boss by EmKay Connor

Haywood Holloway hates the holidays. Say that five times really fast, which Haywood would rather do than have to greet employees and acquaintances with empty salutations such as “Merry Christmas!” or “Happy New Year!” Years of holiday celebrations measured by how costly the gift or how elaborate the decorations have soured Haywood on the whole ho-ho-ho and holly jolly. But being the new boss in a new town means putting on a bright smile and putting up with the Jingle Bell Festival.

Everyone in Love Beach knows Ginger Folly has more holiday spirit than Santa, Rudolph, and all the elves — combined. It even shows in her bright red hair and sparkling green eyes. So when Ginger’s new boss threatens to pull the company’s sponsorship of the annual Jingle Bell Festival, there’s only one solution: help him discover the true meaning of Christmas.
