When her hometown launches a holiday scavenger hunt with a life-changing cash prize, Marissa Henry jumps at the chance to save her fledgling business-until she's partnered with the most gorgeous but infuriating man in town.

Marissa's catering company is her passion project but it's swiftly turning into a financial disaster. With bills piling up and her culinary dreams crumbling faster than aged cheddar, she's determined to win the prize money.

There's just one problem: she's been paired with William Graff, who wrecked her carefully curated display when she catered his wealthy family's party and who she's convinced is an entitled jerk. But as they race through holiday challenges, from Christmas light chaos to competitive snowman-creation, Marissa discovers there's more to William than his trust fund and his ugly holiday sweater collection.

Soon Marissa has something new to fight for: a chance at an unexpected romance that could really change her life.
