Cover for One Last Christmas

Getting stuck in Sugar Creek wasn’t on Bobbi’s Christmas list… After a string of bad relationships and a canceled graduation trip, Bobbi gives up and heads home for Christmas. Despite the magnetic pull of holiday lights and hot cocoa in the square, she’s still solidly committed to landing her dream film internship in L.A. and putting any distractions decidedly in the slush pile. Ben, a highly sought-after ski instructor—and Bobbi’s first kiss—is back in Sugar Creek for one reason and one reason only: to spend one last Christmas with his mom before she loses her battle with ALS. When Bobbi runs into Ben at St. Ambrose ski resort, she fights valiantly to ignore the memories that bubble up inside her. She didn’t plan on biffing it in fresh powder on the hill next to him. And she definitely didn’t anticipate getting torturously snowed in with him and his girlfriend. Despite her best efforts to stay far, far away from Ben McNeil, Sugar Creek seems to foil Bobbi’s plans at every turn. As the two one-time best friends help build a set for White Christmas and work to create one last magical Christmas for Ben’s mom, Bobbi can no longer ignore the attraction reigniting within her. She can’t help but wonder what might’ve been had Ben stayed in Sugar Creek all those years ago… This cozy, festive read is a toasty blanket and steaming cup of cocoa in a book. Fans of Katherine Center, Debbie Macomber, and Nicola May will love this heartwarming, small-town holiday romance. Read the story now!

Cover for A Christmas Boyfriend Recipe

I’ve discovered the recipe for the perfect fake boyfriend. This one is five stars. Highly rated. But I can't keep him. It was a total accident. I went to Thanksgiving dinner with the boss's son and came home fake engaged. Jonah’s got all the ingredients to make a perfect boyfriend, even though he's clueless. I can work with that. Literally. I’m spending the month of December with a swoony fake fiancé and his gorgeous twin in Vermont while they prep for a cooking competition. Too bad this engagement has a built-in expiration date. Jonah's not the kind of guy who gives up easily, and he’s developing a secret sauce of his own to win me over. Even though things are heating up between us, there’s no way this relationship is anything but a half-baked idea. Because I’ve got a secret of my own simmering, and if it spills over, there’s no way to clean up this mess. A Christmas Boyfriend Recipe is a sweet fake engagement romantic comedy with swoony-worthy kisses, but no spicy content. This book might involve a few cries along with the laughs—and plenty of smolder.

Cover for Pining for Christmas

I’m only home for the holidays, but this hot, single dad could make me want to stay. I’m the personal assistant to one of Hollywood’s elite, but I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. Now, after two Christmases away, I’ve decided to surprise everyone by coming home for the holidays. Great idea, right? Of course, right. Except for a couple of problems. Which are not really problems, because I’m Makenzie Vandenberg, and my job is solving problems. Problem #1: They sold the Christmas tree farm. Kind of a big one, but somehow my family failed to mention this little detail. Problem #2: They’re selling it to my old crush. Guys are jerks. And crushes don’t change that. Cameron was the first one to teach me this, after years of friendship he stomped all over my heart and started dating my mortal enemy. But we’re both adults now. I’ve moved on . . . sort of. Problem #3: He’s been married and divorced since then and maybe he’s not the same jerk he used to be. From the moment I arrive in Sugar Creek I can feel him changing my mind, reminding me why we were friends to begin with. Now, my emotions have gone as melty and sticky as his daughter's candy cane kisses. Which has created the final issue . . . Problem #4: This single dad could break my heart . . . again. I was so sure Cameron was in my past. I’d tucked him away with memories of childhood and the smell of pine tree adventures. No matter how much I want to be with him, staying isn’t an option. I've got a job and a life outside of Christmas tree farms. Now, I have a few short weeks to decide if I’m willing to sacrifice everything for a chance at love.
