Overview

Emilia Marin thinks Christmas and the holidays are a waste of time. She’s way too busy to think about gingerbread houses and trees and carols. Instead, she’s running a successful indie bookstore, which is exactly as difficult as it sounds. Cody Nowak loves every holiday tradition, but baking at her uncle’s shop is one of the best. Which is exactly why she’s taking a few weeks hiatus from her role as a paramedic to help him at the bakery. She is definitely not harboring any secrets about why she was put on forced temporary leave. When Cody realizes that Emilia hates Christmas –– like Ebenezer Scrooge levels of hate –– she decides that making Em love Christmas is exactly the distraction she needs. Will Cody be able to melt Emilia’s ice queen exterior with ice skating, hot cocoa, and tree decorating? Or will larger problems arise when they realize that what they each most want threatens to tear them apart? This is a full-length standalone holiday romance packed with all of the warm fuzzy feelings. You know the ones. Grab your cocoa (peppermint schnapps optional) and a cozy blanket to cuddle up and watch the yuletide get real gay
