London isn’t for losers. It’s for lovers, even if they don’t see it coming, so settle in for another emotion-packed holiday romance from Con Riley’s Christmas collection.

I didn’t ask Santa to stuff my stocking with an NHL star known for being big, bad, and brutal.

Spending December with a pro hockey player is the very last thing I have time for. I’m on a tight deadline to escape a job I never wanted, selling speedboats for my father. My only problem is that I need cash to help me sail away from London.

Calum Trelawney has the money I need.

He also has good reason to hate me.

I’m Valentin Juno, the YouTube creator who made his best friend go viral, and not in a good way. Now hockey’s MVP wants out of his contract and is prepared to pay to make that happen. All I need to do is make him look like a big enough loser that his club drops him.

Following Calum with my camera all through December should be easy. At least, it would be if I had some answers. Like, why is he in England right in the middle of hockey season? And why is he so desperate to escape a contract worth millions?

That leaves one final question: Is it too late to add hate sex with a hockey player to my Christmas wish list?

Prepare for fireworks, for snark with a French accent, and for your stocking to be stuffed with an unexpectedly sweet enemies-to-lovers story set in a central London marina.

A Loser By Christmas is the fourth book in an interlinked series. While there are no cliff-hangers and each book contains a complete romance that can be enjoyed alone, to read the series in order, start with the first book, His Last Christmas in London.
