No one asked if I wanted to go on twelve very public dates with the hottest man in town. I guess I'll have to suck it up and do it anyway.
I sell romance novels for a living, I'm single, and I'm perfectly fine spending my days surrounded by fictional happily-ever-afters in my small-town bookstore.
That is, until our local queer radio station announces the winners of its annual 12 Dates of Christmas contest.
Turns out, half the town nominated me. The other half nominated Trent Walker. Trent is a firefighter and the kind of ridiculously handsome man who looks good in both turnout gear and flannel. He's also sweet, funny, and completely out of my league—not that I care.
Now we're expected to go on twelve holiday-themed dates together while the entire town follows along: cookie decorating, Christmas markets, tree trimming, and most of all, small-town interference.
As the contest winds down and our final date approaches, I've stopped thinking of this as just a part of the contest, and started to wonder if Trent might be my happily-ever-after instead.
