Alida

I would never have agreed to this auction if I wasn’t desperate.

One night in exchange for some financial freedom seems like a small price to pay.

But on my way, I end up stranded on the side of the road.

And that man who finds me is the last man I ever wanted to see again.

Fox

When I caught wind that my late buddy’s sister was putting herself up for auction, I had to intervene.

I swore if anything ever happened to him, I would watch out for Alida.

The thought of her selling herself to another man makes me see red.

I won’t let it happen.

I’m winning that bid—and then making her mine.

This Christmas, follow four neighbors turned friends to find out whether Santa will finally give them the gift they’ve been wanting most of all: true love.

Piper

When I receive a personal invitation to participate in my grandma’s Secret Santa event, I am over the moon.

There’s a rumor floating around that the event might be a matchmaking one, but most people don’t take that bit seriously.

But I know better.

I know that this is the Christmas I finally find my true love.

Until I draw the name of the last man on earth who I would ever marry: Eli Winchester.

The bad boy convinced me to run away with him a decade ago.

Except, the night we were supposed to leave, he skipped town without me.

I never thought I’d see him again.

Santa, is this a cruel joke?

Because despite how much I want to hate him, my heart is at serious risk of falling for him all over again.

Eli

When I left Alpine Valley eleven years ago, I left behind the woman I loved.

I couldn’t give her the life she deserved back then.

I’m a changed man.

Though the bad boy she never could resist is still alive and well.

And hell bent on winning her back, now that I can finally give her the life she deserves.

This Christmas, I’m going to make her mine—for good.

A Blue Collar Curvy Woman Holiday Romance

This Christmas, follow four neighbors turned friends to find out whether Santa will finally give them the gift they’ve been wanting most of all: true love.

Meg

I’ve been working tirelessly to make this bakery my own, ever since my mom handed over the keys a year and a half ago.

I’m so close to her signing over the deed and giving me full reign.

I can’t afford any distractions.

Especially the tall, dark, handsome blue-collar distraction named Aaron Montgomery.

But when Mom announces she’s coming to town to see for herself that I don’t live at the bakery, I panic.

I propose a fake relationship with the one relentless man I’ve been desperately avoiding: the sexy mechanic who thinks he wants to date me.

It’s the best way to adhere to the Secret Santa rules and convince my mom I have a life outside the bakery.

All I have to do is not fall for him before our charade is up.

Aaron

I’ve had my mind made up about the curvy bakery owner since the first day I saw her.

Though Meg Bernard has turned me down repeatedly, I’m a patient, determined man.

And despite what she may believe, I’m not going anywhere.

I’m done traveling all over the country week after week.

I’ve left that life behind.

I moved to Alpine Valley to settle down.

To put down roots.

So when she begs me to be her fake boyfriend to appease her mom, I readily agree.

I know it’s my best chance to convince her we’re meant to be.

By Christmas Day, I’m determined to prove that there is nothing fake about what’s been happening between us this whole time.

She is all I want for Christmas, and I plan to make her mine.
