Opposites attract and sparks fly in the delightful small town of Christmas Creek. Holly Jolly lives for Christmas. It’s the only time of the year, as far as she’s concerned.

Unfortunately, his great-aunt’s will stipulates that he must make merry every Christmas if he wants to keep his inheritance. Holly is determined to infect the grouchy Gordon with every dose of Christmas cheer she can muster and show him what Christmas is really about. Will Gordon prevail and turn Holly into a Grinch, or will a sprinkling of Christmas magic show Gordon that there’s no fighting love, especially when it’s wrapped up in a gorgeous redheaded package of jolly holly?

Dashing Through Christmas

2021

It's a case of mistaken identity, secret agendas, Christmas love and magic, all with the help of a "talking" dog with superhero qualities. ~ \* ~ Event planner Misty Jolly needs all the help she can get to pull off Christmas Creek’s biggest makeover: a grand indoor Christmas fair at the spanking new convention and retail center. The original Christmas Creek settlers, including her parents, aren’t sure having Santa in a heated gazebo with an artificial skating rink and electronic northern lights display is a good idea, but Misty has no time to listen to their concerns. While rushing to a meeting with a cantankerous contractor, Misty causes a plane crash and finds a handsome stranger who’s rendered speechless by her presence. Dash Weston has no time for Christmas fun and festivities. As CEO of a huge retail conglomerate, all he cares about is cleaning up his bottom line at Christmastime. The big Christmas Creek project is over budget and overdue. A mere blizzard isn’t going to stop him from investigating—in disguise, obviously. It’s love at first sight for Dash when Misty pulls him out of the wreckage of his private jet. The problem? He’s tongue-tied and unable to communicate except with a stray dog wearing a red superhero’s cape. Dash dives in to help Misty while charming her with his fake Christmas-loving identity. But the dog knows the truth, and Dash steps in deep doo-doo when Misty reveals her dislike of his CEO-identity. Dash will do anything it takes to get what he wants, but he’ll need all the Christmas magic he can muster to slow Misty down long enough to believe in him again.
