Merry Ex-Mas

by Courtney Walsh

First published 2022

She hasn't returned home for Christmas in eight years, but this year is different. She needs to convince her producer to make her the permanent host of Good Day Denver. Her strategy seems foolproof: showcase her family's Christmas traditions on air, generate viewer engagement, and secure the promotion. Then she walks into her childhood home and discovers Max Weber, her ex-boyfriend, staying as her mother's guest. Max remains as attractive and maddening as ever, and he wants another chance with her. She refuses to consider it. But her viewers adore Max, and they especially love watching the two of them together. To keep her audience captivated, she must pretend to flirt with the man who shattered her heart. The fake romance feels increasingly real as Christmas approaches, and she realizes her job isn't the only thing at risk.
