🎄 Deck the Halls with Trouble: The Ex Clause — A Smart, Swoony Christmas Romance by Mila Rhodes ❄️
When a PR powerhouse fakes a relationship to fix her reputation, the only thing she didn’t plan for… was falling in love.Natalie Frost controls every headline—until her celebrity ex drops her name on live TV, turning her life into the season’s biggest scandal. With her career on the line and her mother expecting her to bring a boyfriend home for Christmas, Natalie does what she does best: she drafts a plan.
Enter Liam Chase—steady, maddeningly sincere, and perfect for damage control. Their deal? Two weeks of fake dating in her snow-dusted hometown of Snow Valley, Vermont. No emotions. No entanglements. Just optics.
But between mistletoe games, gingerbread disasters, and late-night confessions by firelight, the lines between fake and real start to blur. And when the past—and the truth—come knocking, Natalie must decide what kind of story she’s really willing to tell: the one that protects her, or the one that finally frees her.
