   Summary

   Violet Sorrengail is on a holiday mission: Save her best friend's struggling café by persuading one reluctant business owner to participate in the annual Christmas decorations contest.

   The only problem? The impossibly intense (and gorgeous) co-owner of The Iron Flame, who views Christmas as nothing but an annoyance and a distraction from training.

   He is the ultimate Grinch. Violet is pure, Christmas cheer. What could go wrong?
