Release Blitz, Exclusive Excerpt & Giveaway:
Once Upon a Christmas House
By A.D. Ellis

Once Upon a Christmas House

Ivyrson is the quintessential Scrooge when it comes to anything having to do with the holidays. However, the chance to win a hefty chunk of money and free repairs on his old home is enough to entice the man to take part in a holiday-themed reality game.

Emory has had a crush on his older brother’s best friend for years. When the chance to help Ivy possibly win a reality game comes along, Emory doesn’t hesitate. After all, that’s what friends are for.

The two men have known each other forever, but living together and pretending to be a couple means getting to know each other on a whole new level. Can they convince the viewing audience their fake relationship deserves to win the grand prize? Or will Ivy and Emory get swept up in the holiday magic and find themselves falling in love for real?

Once Upon a Christmas House is a steamy, forced-proximity, fake relationship, M/M Christmas romance between a grumpy Scrooge and his best friend’s cheery little brother.

Exclusive Excerpt:

I could see Ivy working in the shop from the window over the sink. Sliding my feet into his unlaced work boots, I clunked out to the shop and walked through the back door.

“I’m not going to take advantage of him, Trev,” Ivy said and I realized he was talking to my brother. “He’s a big boy. We both know what we’re getting into.”

“I just don’t want him hurt,” Trevor said on speaker phone. “He’s always seemed to have a thing for you—I don’t know if he likes you or is just in awe of you—but I don’t want him getting his hopes dashed.”

“We’re faking boyfriends to win some money and get my house fixed. Period. He doesn’t think I’m asking him to marry me.” I watched as Ivy washed his hands. “He knows I don’t do relationships.”

“So, you don’t care that people think you’re all of a sudden gay?” Trevor pressed.

“Were you going to care when we were going to fake it?”

“No, but I’m not gay.”

“Okay?”

“I just don’t want it causing problems for either of you,” Trevor said.

“Let me play devil’s advocate here,” Ivy said. “What if I was gay, would that be a problem for you?”

“What? Of course, not.”

“What if—hypothetically—I fell for Emory?”

My gut twisted.

Oh, god.

That.

That was my dream.

About the Author

Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional M/M romance.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and her husband of over two decades haven’t driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.

She loves chocolate, hot tea, sweet wine with friends, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

A.D. uses she/they pronouns.
