Falling For a Fruitcake (Christmas with the Scrooges #2)

Basilia Clemente's business is failing and she and her business partner Elinor Scrooge have done everything they can to keep it afloat. So when Elinor tells her that there is a treasure trove on Elinor's family estate she's more than happy to spend Christmas working. She can help her friend, her business, and spend time with Elinor's extremely hot younger brother...

Farris Scrooge tears across the country to get back home. His mother is dying and no matter how much being home makes him feel trapped and ready to run, his mother needs him there. No one should die alone. But when he arrives he discovers she's not alone. Basilia Clemente is a great help with his mother, the house, and as a sexy distraction.

No strings, no commitments, nothing serious.

But can Farris and Bas keep things light and fun when the world around them grows more serious with each passing day? How can you truly be there for someone without letting your heart become involved too?

Trigger warning: one of the characters has lost a family member to suicide. This is briefly discussed, but not graphically described.
