Scrooge - Skye Samantha

What does it take to ruin Christmas? One Scrooge of a billionaire, a fake diamond ring and a deep family secret.

The holiday season has always been magical for me, especially at my toy store. Tucker Toys is a New York institution, where every twinkling light and festive melody brings joy to children and families alike.

But my landlord, the notorious grumpy billionaire Alexander Jackson, has increased the rent to a level that's crippling. I now understand why they nickname him Scrooge, because my family is facing financial ruin and he doesn't care. Not one bit.

But then Alexander presents me with an offer I can't refuse: be his fake fiancée for the season, and he'll let me keep my store. I'm skeptical, but desperate times call for desperate measures and I owe it to my family.

What starts as a business arrangement quickly becomes something more. Alexander's touch is electric, and his kisses are dangerously real. As we navigate this pretend engagement amidst the holiday chaos and increased media scrutiny, I can't ignore the growing feelings that blur the lines between make-believe and reality.

This Christmas was destined to destroy me, but I might find that the greatest gift isn't saving my store, but discovering a love that feels as magical as the season itself.
