I just wanted to write a fluffy Christmas romance—now I’m trapped with Krampus and tangled in Yuletide magic.

My life as the Queen of Christmas Cheer was simple. Write a sparkling holiday romance, make everyone believe in happy endings, and never, ever think about the darker stories lurking in my mind.

Then again, maybe the Queen of Christmas is ready to reign in the shadows.
