Pretty Unexpected - The Femme Facade Series, #1.5

"Twas not the season to be jolly and everyone could fa-la-la-la-la all the way to the north pole." Thando Kunene has some hard decisions to make so getting wheedled into spending Christmas, the most nauseating holiday of the year, with her best friends and ex-flame is not her idea of a merry time. Sipping cocktails on the beach is the only thing keeping all the fake cheer, plastic tinsel, and over-played carols at bay. All Jimmy Warner wants for Christmas is a few beers and some coma-inducing food, but when he is faced with the enticing and prickly Thando, he can only think about one thing: the fiery-hot weekend they spent together before parting ways. When Thando and Jimmy discover their friends are having a less than a jolly time, they realise their holiday is on the brink of disaster.
With the help of their sugary-sweet neighbour, Grandma Holly, the duo set about to save Christmas and begin to unwrap a serendipitous gift none of them expected. Forced to put aside her inner Grinch, can Thando learn to trust and love again? Will Jimmy get his Christmas miracle? And how many fires can the group endure before Christmas explodes?  Pretty Unexpected is a Christmas romance novella weaved with drama, friendship, and wrapped in a touch of holiday magic.
