Forget snow. This Christmas is scorching.

Gracie doesn't hate Christmas. She just hates how commercial it is, how busy it is, how everyone pretends there's a winter wonderland even though they live in Australia and it's so hot she wakes up sweating every morning. OK, maybe she hates Christmas. Only now there's a sexy police officer doing extra security shifts at the mall where she works, and he's determined to show her how great Christmas can be. But Gracie can't let her guard down. She can't start hoping, start dreaming. Can she?

Jackson has two great loves in life: Christmas, and his rescue dachshund Sacha. He is not prepared for the gorgeous, grinchy woman he ends up working with. He can't stand her, so why can't he get her out of his head?

A steamy, hopeful Christmas romance set in the summertime Down Under. You'll never look at Christmas garlands the same way again.

Unwrapped is Book 1 in the Christmas Down Under series of steamy standalone holiday romances. Intended for adult readers.

For lovers of A.J. Pine and Laurie Gilmore.
