Quirky Holly Jackson was unlucky in love, yet her romantic heart refused to give up her search for companionship—even after her fiancé left her at the altar on Christmas Eve.Grumpy restaurant owner Kai Kane wanted nothing to do with love after his last relationship crashed and burned. Romance was the last thing on his mind. Unfortunately for him, when an eccentric Holly kept entering his restaurant nightly with a different first date, his annoyance grew.When Kai volunteered to help Holly find a suitor it was for one reason only: to get her out of his restaurant and on to a second date with someone at a different location.Once Kai became Holly’s dating coach, her confidence grew.It was all going great until Kai became increasingly jealous of the connection Holly developed with another man. The more Holly fell for Kai’s pick for her, the more overprotective he became.Kai quickly realized that all wasn’t fair when it came to love and the holidays.He was going to have to step up his game if he wanted a shot at the ultimate prize—being Holly’s favorite date. *The Holly Dates is a steamy, full-length romantic comedy that will put you right in the holiday spirit.*
