It's holiday season in Louisiana, and only one tree can fill the center of small-town Joyeaux for the famous Fête des Joyeaux. Maevis Dupre has always had a love/hate relationship with Dempsey Beauregard. Though she can't deny the attraction she's always felt, a relationship between the two would be sacrilege. Or pretty close. After all, their families have been rivals for over seventy years... ever since the Beauregard's tricked the Dupre's into giving up half of their Leyland Cypress tree farm... When Maevis and Dempsey are asked to work together for the benefit of the festival, their tempers, and their attraction, are ignited. Can love overcome family rivalry? Or are they more likely to have snow for Christmas in Louisiana than a happy ever after? **This is an adult romance book and contains adult experiences, explicit language, and graphic sex scenes not suitable for all readers.
