A one-night stand is one thing, but changing my whole life to move to another country for a man I barely know—is a step I'm hesitant to take. But Federico is not only offering me to see Rome and live in Italy with him—he's offering me a contract to become a leading singer at his theatre.

Will there be a chance for love after my first rehearsal fails and his jealous ex comes into view? • Sweet & Steamy • Italian Setting • Hallmark Vibes • Quick Read with Heat • Found Family • Insta-Everything Candy Canes & Christmas Flames is the second part of Apple & Federico's Story. It can be read as a standalone, but for better enjoyment, start with Apple, Spice & Mr. Nice first.
