The Christmas Dare (Christmas Quickies)

Getting dumped at Christmas wasn’t in Holly Winter’s holiday plans—neither was sharing a cabin with her off-limits best friend, Finn Parker.

When Holly’s boyfriend breaks up with her via text four days before Christmas, she does what any self-respecting rom-com enthusiast would do: retreats to her favorite mountain town to binge Hallmark movies and wallow in holiday misery. The only problem? Her best friend Finn Parker—who just broke up with his girlfriend—had the same idea.

Now they're stuck sharing a cabin with a broken heater, twenty years of complicated history, and enough sexual tension to melt a snowman. It doesn't help that their favorite childhood game of Truth or Dare quickly turns from innocent to something decidedly more adult.

Between hilariously disastrous attempts at writing each other's dating profiles, game-changing truths, and one freezing night where skin-to-skin contact may be their only defense against the cold…and their self-control— Holly's starting to wonder if the only thing worse than being dumped at Christmas is risking her heart on someone whose mixed signals are as mysterious as his year-long absence from her life.

But with secrets threatening to unravel their carefully wrapped history, and every fight bringing them closer to either breaking apart or breaking through walls, Holly's discovering that sometimes the scariest part isn't the fall—it's the moment before you jump.

The Christmas Dare is a steamy holiday rom-com about best friends, second chances, and what happens when truth or dare goes very, very wrong (or maybe exactly right). It's part of the Christmas Quickies series—spicy reads you can devour in a few bites. Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Christina Lauren, and anyone who's ever wondered what happens after the Hallmark movie ends. Binge it now!

Contains deliciously explicit content, steamy confessions, and enough Christmas spirit to power the North Pole.
