The Night Before Grumpmas

An all new holiday grumpy-sunshine rom-com with banter, delicious tension, and plenty of festive spice from Kendall Hale.

Life doesn't always go according to plan, but sometimes it brings you exactly what you never knew you needed.

I'm Noelle Holiday, lover of all things cozy and festive. I thought moving into my grandma's rent-controlled apartment in New York would be a fresh start. What I didn't expect was sharing a wall with Jacob McCallister, my grumpy, Grinch-of-a-neighbor who hates joy, scented candles, and any music with jingle bells.

He's broody, blunt, and allergic to holiday cheer.

I've never met someone so bothered by a string of Christmas lights or the scent of freshly baked cookies. Naturally, I've made it my mission to thaw his frosty demeanor.

The problem is that the more time we spend together-whether it's bickering over decorations or sharing late-night conversations through the walls-the more I realize there's more to Jacob than scowls and sarcasm.

And when Grumpmas Eve arrives, we're both faced with a choice: keep things the way they are or risk it all for a love worth unwrapping.
