Millie Christmas with my family is serious business. It’s the one time a year we all travel back to our hometown, so we go all out. Peppermint cocoa, yard full of tinsel, a thousand Christmas lights, decorated cookies… you name it, we’ve got it. Too bad Mom tasked me with getting the Christmas tree this year because I totally forgot to order one, which goes against her “merry and bright” motto. In my frenzy to find the perfect pine, I end up at Mistletoe Christmas Tree Farm. I don’t know what I expected to find there beside pine trees, but it sure as hell wasn’t Gabe, my brother’s best friend and my lifelong crush. Who can resist those lumberjack muscles and dimples-to-die-for? Not me, that’s for sure. Maybe this year, Santa will finally get me what I’ve been wanting for him. Gabe I’m desperate to get away from the life I’ve built in the city, so when my brothers ask me for an extra pair of hands to cut trees at our family’s Tree Farm, I get on the first plane home. But then Millie shows up, desperate for some fine wood. All I can think about while cutting down a pine for her are her delicious curves, innocent doe-eyes, sparkling personality, and amazing humor. There’s one tiny little problem, though. Okay, maybe two. She’s my best friend’s sister which means she’s totally off-limits. And then there’s the one secret I’ve kept from her for all these years. Will she still feel all merry and bright when she finds out the truth? Christmas Secret is a steamy short instalove romance and part of the Christmas Cookie Challenge series. Read them all to spice up your holidays. NO cheating, NO cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA! Christmas Deal by Pippa Brook Christmas Secret by Hazel J. North Christmas Bet by Emma Lynn Everly
