Courtney Becker, my first and only love.

At twelve years old, I met her.

At sixteen, she became my girlfriend.

At twenty-four, I married her.

At twenty-six, she became the mother of my child.

And at twenty-seven, she was walking away and moving back home, leaving me behind.

I never stopped loving her—not when she left me and took our son, not even when she asked for a divorce a few months ago. I deserved it. I didn’t know how to love her right at that young age. But now I’m older and know what I want. More importantly, I know what she needs me to be. With only days before Christmas, I need to make her fall in love with me again and cancel the filing of the divorce.

Can I get her to change her mind and see us for the family we’re meant to be?

Or will I fail at saving Christmas?

NOTE: This is a companion novella meant to be read prior to Wrapped in Winter

Jace “Sully” Sullivan is the sweetest fireman you'll ever meet. He's young, quiet and respects the order of things.

But when Poppy James shows up, all hell breaks loose.

She's older and wilder and looking to shake things up.

And she's got her sights set on the probie fireman.

Can Jace break free of the ‘new, shy guy' stigma, and capture the heart of the ‘wild girl' in town?

Bold, gorgeous and can't sing to save her life. She caught my eye the moment she got on stage, having fun and not caring what anyone thinks of her. And when she approached me, I was awestruck. But what can a blue collar guy like me offer this young beauty?

I quickly find out Hazel is not someone I can easily forget, nor is she someone I can just be friends with.

Id give her the world if I could. Turns out, she's about to gift me something even better. I dont know how to be a boyfriend, let alone a dad but if there's anyone who will stand by me, it's her.

Now, I just have to let her.

Maverick

My friends don't understand why I never get past the first date with a woman. They think it's because I'm not suave enough to get a second date. My friends think I need to learn a lesson or two.

So when an author friend of theirs starts a book-boyfriend-building class, they sign me up.

Surprise! Ava Costa is as beautiful as they come, but she's as boring as watching paint dry. And don't get me started on the idea that she's made a business out of changing men into her image of the perfect boyfriend. When I make it my mission to show her what a bad idea her class really is, she surprises me with the fire hiding underneath that dull fa?ade. As I slowly start to see hints of the woman she could be if she'd let loose and live a little, I realize a little role-reversal is in order. I think I'm just the teacher princess needs to turn things around.

Does this playboy have what it takes to bring the princess back to life?

Ava

When my three author friends and I decided to start a business teaching men how to be better book boyfriends, I pictured myself teaching the ‘down to earth and a little shy' guys how to snag a date.

Instead, I got stuck teaching a playboy who never takes anything seriously. Maverick McKinney entered the class with a swag in his step and a sexy smirk to match. His arrogant attitude and frat-boy personality reminded me too much of my ex and they rubbed my straight and orderly personality all wrong.

So I made it my personal goal to bring him down a notch.

Little did I know, this playboy wasn't what he seemed. All that swagger was hiding the kind of man who could put any book boyfriend to shame. And when he starts pushing for some one-on-one study sessions with the teacher, I find it harder and harder to refuse.

But can this romance author take the chance and rewrite her own love story?

Marigold James is new to town and looking to make a sweet impact by opening her new bakery, Cakeology. But when faulty wires and tripped alarms threaten her business, she's forced to rely on the local fire department to keep her business up and running.

Maddox Baylor, a local Firefighter, is a stud and he knows it. His take charge attitude lacks all the gentleman charm and he quickly becomes the bane of Marigold's existence. But guess who shows up every time she needs help?

Find out if these two will crash and burn or fly above the flames this summer …

Can he get her to overcome her hate for singing and make her fall in love?

Meet Nina Amore

She's our quirky, introverted heroine who would rather sit quietly amongst the book stacks than risk falling in love. After a string of jilted first dates, immersing herself in love stories day and night has left her jaded to the idea of a HEA. The men she finds in books will never measure up to those in real life. So she's shutting herself off from any new potential love, and ditching all her romance reads.

When her best friend convinces her to move to Magnolia Point and take a job as the new librarian in town, Nina quickly learns the job is much more than stacking books. A Romance Readers Book Club is awaiting her direction and there is no hiding in the back row.

In a town that loves love, Nina must find her passion for reading again and open herself to the opportunity that love will find her whether she wants it or not.

Meet Jay Parker ??

Jay is the ultimate sweetheart. He's a local guy, having grown up in Magnolia Point, who began his own HVAC company out of high school. He's since developed a huge presence as being the go to guy for everything anyone may need in town.

Except a date.

Jay is an avid undercover romance reader. His love for all things sweet and spicy has been a constant joke amongst his two closest guy friends, the only ones who know.

They blame the reading of romance on why women see him and think he's too nice. Too soft.

But they don't know the feelings he has brewing underneath, for the right woman. And finding the right one is going to unleash it.

This cinnamon roll is about to turn up the heat with the new local librarian as they find passion between the sheets of a romance book they write!
