The Naughty List Agreement
Katherine Garbera | Paperback | October 2026
An advent calendar of festive romance stories for Christmas - Open a chapter a day
She needs a toy maker. He needs a wife.
The only problem? It's giving alarm bells instead of sleigh bells…
Cora Quill’s Winter Wonderland festival is the gold standard of holiday magic, until her toy supplier implodes. Her only hope? Nick Bari—the infuriatingly hot but grumpy toymaker she already fired.
Nick’s got his own problems – he needs to find a wife before Christmas Eve so he can stay Santa Claus and save the holiday season. Helping Cora out isn’t exactly a high priority. And she’s on the naughty list. (He checked. Twice.)
But when a desperate Cora comes knocking, he agrees to make her a deal…
Could this be the Christmas miracle they both need? Or the most festive trainwreck ever?
