Tree-Lighting Truce: A steamy BWWM Christmas frenemies-to-lovers romance with a tree-lighting disaster, forced teamwork, and small-town gossip. (Snowlark Christmas Feuds - #1)

One blackout. One public feud. One Christmas Eve to make it right.

Maya Brooks came back to Snowlark to prove she belongs and to land the tourism sponsor that could save the entire Christmas festival. She has the plan, the polish, and zero patience for small-town whispers.
Then the annual tree-lighting goes up in sparks and silence… in front of the whole town.

Grant Callahan is Snowlark’s grumpy, stubborn electrician with a family business on the line. He knows that failure doesn’t just cost money it becomes a story people never stop telling. When he spots signs of tampering, one ugly truth snaps into this wasn’t an accident. Someone wanted the festival to fail.

Now the mayor forces the two long-time rivals to co-lead a “Second Chance Ceremony” on Christmas Eve. The town’s gossip page is circling. The sponsor is watching. And every late-night test run under twinkle lights puts Maya and Grant closer than either of them can afford.
Because the more they work together, the harder it gets to pretend their feud is the only thing between them… and the more dangerous it becomes to trust the wrong person.

In Snowlark, Christmas magic is real.
So are grudges.
And the way Grant looks at Maya like he’s done losing her.

Tree-Lighting Truce is a cozy-but-spicy BWWM Christmas romance packed with banter, forced teamwork, small-town gossip, and a swoony holiday payoff complete with a happy ending.
