LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Jenny Alexandra debuted Santa Cutie today, a laugh-out-loud, heart-melting holiday romance that's equal parts cozy and sexy. The first book in Alexandra's new Cherryville series, Santa Cutie, reimagines the classic Christmas romance—with cults, chaos, and one show-stopping nursing home Christmas pageant. The book is available now on Amazon.

About The Book
This Santa is more of a Scrooge…

Melody Whitaker doesn't just love Christmas—she worships it. After fleeing a holiday-hating cult, she's gone all in: thousands of twinkle lights, a storage unit of trees, and more sparkle than a Hallmark movie marathon. This year, she's signed up to play Mrs. Claus at a local nursing home, eager to spread some holiday cheer—until she meets Eben Golding: a brooding, grumpy, Christmas-hating hottie. Maybe it's the mistletoe, but Melody can't stop flirting with this surly Santa... Falling in love with someone who sees your sparkle—even the parts you thought you had to hide—might be the greatest gift of all. But when the nursing home pageant goes ho-ho-horribly, Melody is left wondering if her Christmas spirit can really save the season...and thaw Eben's frosty heart.

Santa Cutie is a spicy Christmas rom-com from the Cherryville series—bursting with laughter, mischief, and heartfelt healing. HEA guaranteed!

Tropes:

• Grumpy x Sunshine
• Holiday romance
• Forced proximity
• Small town
• Spicy

"I wanted to write a Christmas story that's both laugh-out-loud funny and emotionally real," says Alexandra. "Melody's journey from repression to joy mirrors how a lot of us feel around the holidays—learning to celebrate who we really are, sparkle and all."
