You know what makes a Christmas romance even more fun? A heroine who makes questionable decisions, a grumpy Santa with an attitude, and enough history between them to make working together a very bad idea.


Meet Cora Quill and Nick Bari, the couple at the heart of my Christmas romance, The Naughty List Agreement!


Cora is the Queen of Christmas. She knows how to put on a spectacular holiday event, she's full of festive spirit, and she isn't afraid to do things her own way.

Nick? He's a toy maker, a very grumpy Santa, and a man with a serious attitude problem. (The tattoos are a bonus. 😉)


There's just one little complication: Cora fired Nick five years ago.


Now Christmas needs saving, and Nick needs Cora's help. Putting these two back together is bound to be interesting, especially when old grudges and undeniable chemistry get in the way.


What's a Christmas romance without a little trouble?


A Different Kind of Christmas Countdown

The Naughty List Agreement is available now, and it comes with a fun twist: it's an advent calendar book!


Inside, you'll find 25 perforated chapters to unwrap. You can start on December 1st and read a chapter a day as you count down to Christmas, making it part of your holiday traditions.

Or… you could decide that waiting is entirely overrated and read the whole thing right now. I'm not going to tell Santa. 😉


So, Are You Naughty or Nice?


Here's where I need your help. Which kind of reader are you?

😇 Team Nice: You'll be saving The Naughty List Agreement for December 1st, ready to unwrap one chapter each day.


😈 Team Naughty: You've got the book, you've got the time, and there's no way you're waiting until December. You're diving straight in!


I have a feeling there will be plenty of readers on both lists, and I'm not sure Nick would approve of either choice. Cora, on the other hand, might have a few opinions of her own!

If you'd like to meet Cora and Nick, you can find The Naughty List Agreement here:



And if you've already read it, I'd love to know: did you manage to save it for December, or did you end up binge-reading?
