The Best Christmas Everly
Kara Eriksson
Attorney Everly Wilkes didn’t plan on spending the Christmas season running her grumpy uncle’s greasy diner. But, no matter the inconvenience, since family is involved, she’ll rise to the occasion. Still, serving lunch to burly men who tend toward crassness, and worse, who track in mud from whatever jobsite they hail from, is sure to make this December the longest on record. Sure enough, during only her second lunch shift, a chocolate-eyed ox of a man dares cross her, steering her working holiday onto precisely the course she’s been dreading. When he shows up a second time expecting to be served, he hands her the perfect opportunity to vent some pent up frustration. His Mr. Nice Guy act isn’t going to fly with her…
Passing the holiday season on a muddy, snakebit jobsite far from home isn’t ideal for construction worker Knox Herd. He doesn’t mind as much as he should, however, since drama back in his real life and wounds inflicted during last year’s Christmas-gone-wrong still sting. When he follows the guys to lunch one day, he finds a waitress he can’t take his eyes off of. Knox is used to being overlooked, but for once, the pretty girl has noticed him, too. Problem is, she’s spitting mad, ready to read him the riot act—for a crime he most certainly did not commit.
Can a serving of misperceptions and a side of holiday cheer set two emotionally guarded strangers on the path to the Best Christmas Everly?
