A White Christmas Lie

2022

Everyone knows Poverlys and Laurents don't mix. Coco and Deb Poverly are doing fine. Just don’t ask about the money, the bills, or the new shop threatening Deb’s bakery. Coco will do anything to help her great-aunt, even trade places with a wedding guest for extra cash. Dressed as an heiress, Coco falls for the charm and good looks of none other than Preston Laurent, Sugar Creek’s most eligible bachelor. But he’s a Laurent. No matter how hot he looks in a tux, they can't be together. He has everything except someone to share it with. Preston Laurent is the son of a wealthy diplomat. Meeting a down-to-earth heiress at a wedding could be the start of finding the love he's searching for—until his ideal woman turns out to be the penniless Coco Poverly. Their romance would tear his world apart. Preston must decide what he wants most. If he admits feelings for a Poverly, his grandfather will cut him off. But if he says nothing, he loses her. He would have done anything for Debra. Fifty years ago, Roland Laurent was in love with the wrong girl from the wrong family. After a failed elopement, he knew he shouldn't have sacrificed for a life with a Poverly. When his grandson Preston sets his sights on Coco, Roland warns him against the hurt Debra caused decades ago, hoping to save him pain. Deb’s lost love shaped her heart and life. She never married and never forgave Roland for not returning to Sugar Creek. But now he's back in town, and just as good looking as ever. But her pride won't let her explain what happened half a century ago. How can she watch Coco and Preston's relationship fail after the generations of bad blood between their families? Coco and Preston defy their relatives to find healing for the misunderstandings that have plagued their families for over a hundred years, allowing everyone a chance to find peace and move on from pain that has nothing to do with them and everything to do with what's keeping them apart.

A Christmas Boyfriend Recipe

2022

I’ve got the perfect recipe to find a boyfriend for Christmas. The funny thing is, I wasn’t looking for one. He sort of found me. I was just supposed to go to Thanksgiving dinner with him, and I came home fake engaged to the boss’s son. Now I’m spending the month of December with him and his twin in a small town called Sugar Creek, Vermont while he gets ready for a big shot celebrity chef cooking competition. He’s got all the ingredients to make a perfect boyfriend, so it’s too bad that this engagement has a built-in expiration date. He’s not the kind of guy who gives up that 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. Or maybe love is like an egg—sometimes you break your heart, and it takes a lot of scrambling to make things right, but when you do, there’s nothing better in the whole world. So, yeah, maybe my life is like an omelet. So cheesy.

One of the Sugar Mamas sets him up with a nanny. Darcy’s young, impulsive, full of energy, and too appealing for her own good. He can’t stop thinking about her, but Evan learned the hard way that young love doesn’t last, and he won’t be Darcy’s practice run. Will Darcy find she belongs with Evan, or will their age difference be too much for him to get over?

The Autumn Fallout

Childhood crushes battle on opposite sides of a town issue that might leave one of them homeless. After breaking up with her lawyer boyfriend, Charlotte Laurent takes a much-needed gap-year before law school to re-evaluate her life, staying with her brother in Sugar Creek. When the town proposes to annex Laurent Mansion, she’s on the committee to make it happen–in direct opposition to her neighbor and childhood crush, Eric Benton. If she doesn't get this proposition to pass, she and her brother may have to leave the only family home they've ever known. Dairy farmer Eric hadn’t seen well-born Charlotte since they played hide-and-go-seek together at age ten. But now she’s all grown up and back in town, stirring up hope that he might be fit to do more than tie her boots, but she's causing trouble for his struggling dairy in desperate need of repairs. If the proposition passes, his family may have to close the dairy and leave Sugar Creek. When the two engage in a prank-war supporting their own sides, the heat is on—in their romance as well as the contest. Only one can save their family legacy. This Rom-com romp has a haunted mansion, a treasure hunt, a fall festival, prank wars, and a barbershop quartet. Tropes: one bed, childhood crush, all grown up
