“Candy cane-coated catnip for those of us who grew up on Disney Channel Original Movies and wished they made them now for adults! Rollicking, imaginative, and sweetly steamy, The Nightmare Before Kissmas transports readers to a holiday world you won’t want to leave.” — Timothy Janovsky, author of You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince

“Things get spicy, quickly, and this book is as delightfully weird as it is funny, fluffy, and immersive in a fantasy world where problems revolve around hookups and the holidays, not well, you know what we’re dealing with here on earth.” —Vulture

“An irreverent holiday fantasy that involves court politics, young-adult growing pains, and holiday cheer…equal parts silly and romantic.” —Booklist

AN INSTANT USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER!

Red, White & Royal Blue meets The Nightmare Before Christmas in a sexy, quirky rom-com where the golden-hearted Prince of Christmas falls for the totally off-limits Prince of Halloween.
Nicholas “Coal” Claus used to love Christmas. Until his father, the reigning Santa, turned the holiday into a PR façade. Coal will do anything to escape the spectacle, including getting tangled in a drunken, supremely hot make-out session with a beautiful man behind a seedy bar one night.
But the heir to Christmas is soon commanded to do his duty: he will marry his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess and his brother’s not-so-secret crush. A situation that has disaster written all over it.
Things go from bad to worse when a rival arrives to challenge Coal for the princess’s hand…and Coal comes face-to-face with his mysterious behind-the-bar hottie: Hex, the Prince of Halloween.
It’s a fake competition between two holiday princes who can’t keep their hands off each other over a marriage of convenience that no one wants. And it all leads to one of the sweetest, sexiest, messiest, most delightfully unforgettable love stories of the year.
