Have Yourself a Married Little Christmas

<p>My cheery little life was chugging along smoothly when one small shift sent it off track until it imploded. I lost my health my business plans and even my apartment-Merry Christmas to me! It's at this low point Colonel Gruff a man I know dislikes me finds me. </p><p></p><p>He's the grumpy soldier with a personality like sandpaper but suddenly he's offering me a solution to my problems I can't say no to and in a matter of weeks I'm Mrs. Colonel Gruff.</p><p></p><p>I'm giving him what he needs too-a wife for the holidays. We'll play pretend for his family and even though he hasn't said why I know convincing them is important. And though this is all part of the agreement those sugar plum fairies dancing around in my chest every time he gets close aren't part of the deal. </p><p></p><p>I'm not ready to give up mistletoe kisses with my fake husband or this glimpse of his secret soft side. But we're only married for the holidays. I can't keep him-even if he's all I want for Christmas.</p>
