Cracked: An Easter Story: The Holiday Haters, #3

By Teshelle Combs

The Goddess of Spring And Earth is a high-powered attorney by day, slave to Odin by night, and nothing makes her happier than destroying prideful men. But when her boss demands she snatch a downtown property from the hands of a bright-eyed baker, Stella is caught in a classic romcom debacle. How can she crush the seductive sweetie under her red bottom heels by Easter if he smells like strawberries and tastes like cinnamon?

 

From the Holiday Haters Series, including Jack Frost's Frosted: A Christmas Story and our vampire Alexei's Suckered: A Valentine's Story

Typos? DM Tess Combs. This story hasn’t yet been professionally edited. You’re getting it way early!

Content Warning: This is a comedy, so we’re poking fun at people and situations, but none of this is real or how the author actually feels about humanity. This story contains cupcakes, a bit of spice, and a lot of goddess energy. Oh, and stabbies. Be warned.

The Holiday Haters Series

If you want to read the other two stories in the Holiday Haters series BEFORE the ARC for Cracked, the best way to get them is on my Patreon.

Frosted: A Christmas Story

Suckered: A Valentine's Story

Please note that you CAN read Cracked without reading these two first, but it does make everything more juicy if you've read them all. They’re all short story romcoms, so prepare to fly through them, gobble up a little spice, and laugh a whole bunch. Our Holiday villains don't mess around.

For all my Goddesses. Make ‘em pay.

Episode 1: Them

Excuse me, miss?

I paused when someone tapped me on the shoulder, flipping my phone closed and slipping it into my Chanel. I angled myself so I could see the soon-to-be-dead man who put his grubby hands on me.

Did you just touch me, little boy?

The man, clearly in his fifties after fighting a long, hard battle with his ego and coming up bald, frowned at me. "This is a public place."

I blinked impeccable eyelashes at the fool—and they were impeccable; I paid a Swedish woman named Marta two grand to make sure of it. Do you have something you wish you were saying?

You should watch your language. This is a public place. He motioned to the unnecessary little outdoor patio area of a restaurant I’d never bother to enter. Unnecessary people ate their tomato bisque with unnecessary mediocrity.

I took a step forward, my red bottoms gracing the ground of god-awful Belmont Street and tossed dark tresses over my
