Tequila and time loops are a helluva way to spend Christmas...

Traveling to my hometown wasn't part of the plan-not after losing my mom and swearing to never look back. But as an undercover FBI agent, I don't choose my assignments.

All I have to do is blend in at the local cineplex, get the job done, and leave. Easier said than done when the theater's darkly charming manager keeps distracting me with his whiskey-fire eyes and mysterious smile.

My first day? A disaster. I got attacked by Christmas gnomes, burned the popcorn, and got caught staring at the manager's... let's just say it wasn't my finest moment. If I'm not careful, our undeniable chemistry is going to land me on the naughty list.

That's how I ended up at Train Wreck Tavern, drowning my embarrassment in margaritas with a saucy old lady claiming to be *Mrs. Claus*. I thought she was joking until one bite of her magical cookie landed me in a nightmare-or maybe a second chance?

Now I'm stuck in a Christmas time loop, reliving the same day. The worst part? I'm pretty sure the handsome theater manager has his own secrets.

Between cracking the case, avoiding holiday disasters-and heartache-I have to break the spell... or endure Christmas forever.
