The competition comes with the added bonus of getting on neighbor Kerr Murdoch's last nerve. It's the least she could do, considering her ex-husband left Nisa for Kerr's girlfriend. And maybe if Kerr smiled or cracked a joke--just once!--his girlfriend would've stayed, and Nisa wouldn't find herself alone during the holidays. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntroverted Kerr has trouble feeling comfortable around people he doesn't know well. Newly single, he decorates his house in remembrance of his mother, who always had a soft spot for Christmas lights. But when Nisa's and Kerr's decorations end up nearly identical, he incurs Nisa's wrath. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis means all-out war, complete with gaudy wreaths, twinkle lights, and too many reindeer to count. Never mind that Nisa can't keep her eyes off Kerr's toned forearms. Or ignore that he's a pet-loving veterinarian with a heart of gold. After conceding to her husband's wishes for years, Nisa is determined to get her way. But as Christmas draws near, Nisa must decide what she actually wants: the familiar rivalry she's had for years with Kerr, or opening herself up to the chance to fall in love with someone new.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eZoe Allison\u003c\/b\u003e is a graduate of the RNA's New Writers' Scheme.
