A Frenemy in Need: Merry Mischief

by Catrina Bell

About this book

Birdie’s life is the definition of curated perfection, from her thriving Christmas tree farm to her menagerie of rescued animals. That is, until her fiancé leaves her standing at the altar. Just when she expects to drown her sorrows in solitude, she finds an unexpected shoulder to lean on in the form of Rex, a snarky, chaotic demon who has spent years perfecting the art of getting under her skin.

This steamy paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes friction with heart-melting vulnerability. As the lines between their bickering and attraction blur, Birdie and Rex are forced into a whirlwind of magically-mandated community service. What begins as a bitter rivalry quickly ignites into a second-chance romance that proves some sparks are better left unextinguished. Rex is determined to prove he is more than just a convenient frenemy, but winning over a woman who has sworn off men—and demons—will take more than charm.

Perfect for fans of the enemies-to-lovers trope and reverse-harem dynamics, this story offers a delightful mix of holiday cheer and supernatural heat. Join Birdie and Rex in the enchanting world of Winter Bliss for a found-family journey that is as mischievous as it is heartwarming.

This book was an absolute delight! I confess I read it as a standalone, but I never felt confused or disoriented because of it. I’m now incredibly...
