Nick's Christmas Ride: A Small Town Friends to Lovers Holiday Romance With Ghostly Meddlers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798854459020)

Imagine yourself shapeshifted not into a wolf or a giant eagle but into a 1959 MG Roadster convertible, all while the guy you're crushing on is driving his date through your hometown.

Christmas Creek's favorite son, Nick Jolly, and its beautiful wallflower, Hayley Brockman, are so far in the friend zone that she's picking his dates for him. When Hayley selects three social media mavens to help Nick promote Christmas Creek, everything backfires, including the antique convertible Nick picks up to drive them around.

Unbeknownst to Hayley and Nick, they are being watched over by their feuding forefathers, Ol' Nicholas and Slimy Cecil, with cosmic consequences. Will a shapeshifting car and the shifting fortunes of Texas Hold'em wake Nick and Hayley in time to save their hearts and keep Christmas Creek from being canceled?
