Christmas Romance

MARGO After an ex\-boyfriend told me I’d never be able to run a half marathon, I did what any logical woman would I set out to prove him wrong. We’re going to pretend like I didn’t collapse at the finish line of the race. It’s a good thing the hot paramedic caught me before I could fall. It’s an even better thing I ran into him at the bar the next night. He might be my ex’s dad and sixteen years older than me, but that won’t stop me from wanting to enjoy some holiday cheer with the man I can’t stop thinking about. FINN I knew who she was when I caught her, but she didn’t know who I was. When her initial shock of my identity wore off, she came home with me. I gave her the best night of her life. It makes sense that I found her again at the finish line of another race, and now I’m determined to keep her around for longer than a night. Forget the age gap. Forget her history with my son. She might be the best Christmas present I’ve ever received, and I’m in no hurry to say goodbye.

Stella I was always the annoying little sister of his best friend, so he never noticed me. But then we had an explosive night that changed everything. I thought we were going to be together, but instead, he texted me that he wasn’t ever letting it happen again and it ended whatever friendship we might have had. Seven years later, I’m newly single, technically homeless, and not myself when I go to help my grandmother prepare for a massive (but probably exaggerated) snowstorm about to bury our area. Then he shows up. Alden Canes. The first man to break my heart. I try to avoid him, but the snow comes down harder than anyone expected. And we’re trapped together. Alden I thought the hardest thing I’d ever have to do was break Stella Summers' heart, but it turned out that life had something worse planned for me. I’d made it seven years without crossing paths with her. Seven years of hiding my feelings and keeping her protective older brother happy. Seven years of misery. Then this snowstorm hits and it’s only us. She’s looking at me with sad eyes and a heartbroken expression—and I can’t stay away from her this time. No matter how much I should. Snow Stuck is a short Christmas novel with the second-chance romance and forced proximity tropes. It’s an open-door spicy romance novel with a happily ever after guaranteed!

Settle in with a cup of hot cocoa for this spicy, small\-town Christmas novella from Bailey Hannah. Eira Davies thought a bar napkin sketch of her best friend’s handsome brother was harmless fun—until he caught her in the act. One steamy night later, Lucas McKinney was supposed to be nothing more than a fun memory. Fast forward six months, and Lucas is desperate to save his struggling ranch. Renting out the spare cabin on his property seems like the perfect solution, until his first guest turns out to be Eira, the woman he hasn’t stopped thinking about. A true believer in fate, Lucas can’t shake the feeling that the universe has delivered her to his doorstep with a big, shiny bow. As sparks fly and the Christmas lights twinkle, they’ll have to figure out if this holiday surprise is just a festive fling or the real deal worth unwrapping for good.
