All’s Fair in Love and Christmas
Two workplace rivals. One festive competition. And a romance that upends it all.
Every December two things are guaranteed for graphic designer Mackenzie Graham--Christmas celebrations and the annual promotion at her workplace. Those two things are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, the better an employee is at harnessing the Christmas spirit, the more likely they'll win the new job. With her social anxiety, Mackenzie never thought she'd be a contender in her company's holiday competition, so how exactly has she found herself dueling her workplace crush with wrapping paper tubes and using tinsel as her weapon of choice for a much-needed raise?
Jeremy Fletcher's life is meticulously planned out, including how to win this year's promotion at work. Not only will the new position fulfill some of his career goals, but as a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew, he needs the salary increase to support his family. Jeremy has barely noticed Mackenzie Graham around the office, but now that she's his rival, he can't stop thinking about her. Her quirkiness intrigues him, and he's afraid that if he can't get his head on straight, the promotion isn't the only thing he'll end up losing to Mackenzie.

A fluffy, light read. The story of a socially-awkward (but beautiful, of course) graphic designer, Mackenzie, who has been nurturing a private, two-year slow-burn for her co-worker. And Jeremy, a handsome account exec who has prioritized taking care of his pre-teen twin niece and nephew, and has never really noticed his colleague - until circumstances orchestrate their collaboration, and competition, during the Christmas holidays. Both have skin in the game at work, angling for the reward of a promotion, to be recognized at the holiday party. But Mackenzie, in my own experience at ad agencies, would have likely never had the backbone to be promoted. Just didn’t seem realistic. Nor did the work environment, with the owner not seemingly focused on the work - only playing matchmaker to two of her employees. E.g., not real. But the reader has to be willing to suspend reality. And this is why it’s rated as it is.
