Could happy ever after be waiting underneath the mistletoe?

Professional organiser Kate has had her share of demanding clients. But Michael O’Farrell is the most obnoxious man she’s ever met. He may be gorgeous, but if he wasn’t her best friend’s brother Kate wouldn’t have waited on his doorstep for five minutes, let alone an hour!

But, underneath Michael’s icy exterior, Kate’s surprised to find a man who needs to declutter his heart as well as his home. And while she’s happier fixing messy desks than broken hearts, Kate can’t help making Michael her secret Christmas project.

After all, at Christmas, anything can happen!
