It’s enemies to lovers in this sexy and delightful holiday mash up that pairs the spare prince of Christmas with the crown prince of St. Patrick’s Day!

Someone has been stealing Christmas’s joy, and there’s only one clue to the culprit―a single shamrock.

With Coal busy restructuring Christmas―and their dad now having a full midlife crisis in the Caribbean―Kris volunteers to investigate St. Patrick’s Day. His cover: an ambassador from Christmas to foster goodwill. What could go wrong?

Everything, it seems. Because Prince Lochlann Patrick, Crown Prince of St. Patrick’s Day, happens to be the mysterious student that Kris has been in a small war with at Cambridge. They attempt to play nice for the tabloids, but Kris can’t get through one conversation without wanting to smash Loch’s face in―he’s infuriating, stubborn, loud, obstinate, hot―

Wait―hot?

Kris might be in some trouble. Especially when it turns out that the mystery behind Christmas’s stolen magic isn’t as simple as an outright theft. But why would a Holiday that Christmas has never had contact with, one that’s always been the very basis of carefree, want to steal joy? Can a spare prince even hope to unravel all this, or will Kris lose something way more valuable than his Holiday’s resources―like his heart?

Also known as The Nightmare Before Kissmas Book 2.

Sara Raasch

Sara Raasch has always been chasing stories. Long before her novels found their way onto New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, she was a child in Ohio, sketching out picture books on folded paper and selling them alongside lemonade. That early spark never dimmed, it grew into a passion for fantasy that would carry her from her hometown cornfields to bookshelves around the world.

Her breakout moment came with Snow Like Ashes, a sweeping tale of kingdoms divided by magic and loyalty. Published in 2014 after years of persistence and six earlier manuscripts, the book captured readers with its icy landscapes and a heroine who learns that destiny is not a prophecy but a choice. It was quickly embraced by fantasy fans and went on to earn bestseller recognition. Two sequels, Ice Like Fire and Frost Like Night, completed the trilogy, cementing Raasch’s reputation for blending political intrigue with lyrical world-building.

Never content to linger in one world, she turned to new terrains with the These Rebel Waves duology, inspired by the Spanish Inquisition and the myths of piracy. These novels challenged old ideas of power and belief while delivering adventure on the high seas. Later collaborations expanded her reach: Set Fire to the Gods with Kristen Simmons reimagined gladiators as elemental fighters, while the Witch and Hunter duology, co-written with Beth Revis, played with vengeance, enchantment, and tangled allegiances.

More recently, Raasch has stepped boldly into adult romantasy and romantic comedy with books like The Nightmare Before Kissmas, Go Luck Yourself, and The Entanglement of Rival Wizards. These stories carry her signature mix of sharp wit, emotional intensity, and just enough magic to blur the edges of reality. Whether crafting perilous battles or playful banter, she has a gift for pulling readers into worlds where the stakes feel urgent and the characters unforgettable.

Behind the books is a writer who plans meticulously, using maps, spreadsheets, and outlines as part of her toolkit, but who also understands that the best moments often come from letting a character surprise her. She has spoken candidly about writing through both discipline and doubt, seeing creativity as something to wrestle with as much as to nurture.

Today, Raasch continues to write from her Ohio roots while drawing on her travels and research to bring depth to her work. Her novels invite readers to step into realms of magic, rebellion, and romance, while always grounding those stories in human struggles such as identity, freedom, and love that resonate far beyond the page.

Royals and Romance

Not every crown comes with duty and tradition. Sometimes it comes with chaos, scandal, and kisses that could topple kingdoms. In this playful, modern twist on royalty, the Royals and Romance series blends sharp banter, steamy tension, and fairy-tale charm with the messy realities of love.

At the heart of these stories are women who never asked to be swept into royal spotlights, and men who discover that titles and power mean little when matched against a stubborn heart. From holiday misadventures that spiral into unlikely romance to battles of wit that turn into battles of desire, each book captures the spark of attraction colliding with the weight of expectation.

The series thrives on its mix of lighthearted humor and emotional depth. Readers are treated to grand gestures and glittering settings, but also to moments of vulnerability where love feels dangerous and exhilarating all at once. It is romance that doesn’t shy away from being outrageous, funny, and a little bit irreverent, while still delivering the swoon-worthy passion fans crave.

Perfect for readers who dream of royals behaving badly, or of fairy tales rewritten with a wink, Royals and Romance offers an escape into a world where love is both a crown and a rebellion.
