A Partridge in a Panic: Grumpy Meets Sunshine (Frost & Noel Tinsel Town #1)

Noel Merrick has been awake for thirty-seven hours and is handling it *fine*.

Running Tinsel Town's legendary Twelve Days of Magic festival should be a dream job. Instead, it's a chaos parade of glitter explosions, rogue partridges, and a mayor who communicates exclusively in holiday metaphors. Noel doesn't need help. He needs caffeine, a miracle, and maybe a good scream into the void.

What he gets is Eben Frost.

Cold. Competent. Clipboard-clutching. The logistics consultant the mayor hired without asking. Eben is everything Noel isn't—controlled, organized, and infuriatingly calm in a crisis. He's also the most attractive problem Noel has ever encountered.

Eben doesn't do attachments. He does clean entries, efficient solutions, and cleaner exits. Twelve days. That's all this is. Just long enough to fix the festival. Not nearly long enough to fix the way Noel Merrick looks at him like he's something worth staying for.

But when a shared glitter emergency turns into an accidental partnership—and accidental touches start feeling way too intentional—"temporary" starts sounding like the biggest lie either of them has ever told.

Day one of twelve. Let the chaos begin.
