Very Merry Bromance

Gretchen Winthrop fled the morning after a one-night stand with country music star Colton Wheeler, leaving him wanting more than she was willing to give.

When her family's whiskey company wants Colton as their new brand ambassador, Gretchen's reward for closing the deal is a coveted seat on the family foundation board — but Colton will only sign on if Gretchen agrees to actually date him and see where it goes.

Beneath her prickly exterior, shaped by a difficult and abusive upbringing, Gretchen has to decide whether Colton's warm, close-knit love of Christmas is something she can let herself believe in.

Lyssa Kay Adams continues the Bromance Book Club series with a holiday romance that digs into toxic family trauma beneath its festive, matchmaking-mission surface.
