Everything to know about The Naughty List Agreement.

How does the advent format work?

Every chapter is sealed behind its own dated page with a “do not open before” note, just like an advent calendar. Starting December 1st, you open one chapter a day and follow Cora and Nick’s story all the way to Christmas.

Can I read ahead?

We won’t tell. Plenty of readers save it for December to make the countdown special, but if you can’t wait, it reads beautifully all at once too. (Just know Nick will be checking.)

What’s the story about?

Cora Quill’s Winter Wonderland festival loses its toy supplier, and her only hope is Nick Bari, the grumpy, infuriatingly hot toymaker she already fired. Nick needs a wife before Christmas Eve to stay Santa Claus, so he offers her a deal. Enemies-to-lovers, a marriage arrangement, and a holiday deadline.

How spicy is it?

It’s a spicy romance written for adult readers. If you’re gifting it, it’s best for the friend who reads romance, not your little cousin.

When should I order for the countdown?

Order early so it’s in hand before December 1st. If it arrives a little late, no stress, just open a few chapters to catch up and you’ll still finish by Christmas.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location, so you’ll see the exact cost before you pay.
