With excellent benefits. Until the lines blur.</p><p></p><p>I should keep running but this small town is starting to feel like home.</p><p></p><p>And Fredrik... he might be the reason I finally stay.</p><p></p><p>---</p><p></p><p><em>The Holiday Grump</em> is part of the <strong>Christmas at Hideaway Harbor</strong> series of six spicy romantic comedies.
