Losing her job so close to Christmas, Chloes only choice was to go back home to Aubrey Heights, where the Christmas spirit is celebrated in a tourist loving, wonderland. Perhaps she can pull herself together before the new yearbefore her new career search.

However, Jason follows her to Aubrey Heightswith a mission of his own. First he stole her jobnow he wants to steal her heart.

Is the spirit of Christmas alive enough in her to let that happen?

 Top Ten List

Top 10 Favorite Holiday Traditions by Bernadette Marie

10. Shopping for fun gifts, on Amazon of course. 
9. Seeing Disneyland dressed up for the holidays (if I can.)
8. The Kids’ time off.
7. School productions. The high school has a 3 hour concert (4 presentations of this concert) which include all choirs, ensembles, and instrumental music as well. It’s fascinating.
6. That cup of coffee on Christmas morning.
5. Watching my family open their gifts.
4. Our new tradition of playing silly games on Christmas morning since my kids are older.
3. Holiday decorations and music in the stores.
2. I love to look at Christmas lights.
1. My 8 Christmas trees! I love to set up Christmas trees, and each of them has a theme.

Character Casting
In casting this novel, these are the top four people that come to mind for the characters.

Chloe Richardson: Kristen Bell comes to mind when I think of Chloe. The upbeat, ready to take over the world woman whose attitude can change on a dime. This firecracker appreciates the unique town she was brought up in, which grandly celebrates Christmas, and also the hustle and bustle of the city where she does her best to advance her career. 

Jason Mitchell: Chris Evans would tie this character up in a bow. Jason is all business—a professional through and through, but even though that takes a hard exterior, he’s not an ass about it. He has a graciousness to him and confidence in his team. And when he decides he wants Chloe in his life, he’s not aggressive.

William Mason: William is the guy who gives kids of the boss a bad name. He’s pushy, he’s condescending, and all around vindictive. Tom Hiddleston comes to mind when I think of William. He’s that kind of guy you buy into, but later find out he’s not an upstanding guy at all.

Gloria Vandenberg: An over the top Zendaya would hit the mark when talking about Pop! Cosmetics founder Gloria Vandenberg. Heiress to the Vandenberg Furniture fortune, this up and comer is ready to take over the world with her business.

He jilted her sister. She will never forgive him for it. Can her anger survive a snowing in and a Christmas truce?
Emma Caldwell doesnt hate anyoneexcept for Hugh Warrilow, the man who jilted her older sister and left like a coward to join the army. Men are clearly not to be trusted, and Emma is determined not to give her heart to one. No, a marriage of convenience is the very thing to suit her.
Hugh Warrilow has been secretly in love with Emma Caldwell for years, so when the time comes to live up to both familiesexpectations and marry her sister, he cant find it in himself to do it. Disgraced and misunderstood, he joins to fight Napoleon on the Continent, hoping he will forget Emma and be forgotten by everyone he has disappointed.
An injury brings Hugh homejust in time for Christmas and the snowstorm that leaves him trapped under the same roof as Emma. How will he explain that his unforgivable act was motivated by how desperately he loved her? Her icy reception doesnt leave him the chance, nor does it offer much hope for the seasons expectation of peace on earth and goodwill to men. ".


Snippet:

Melted snow trickled down her forehead, her cheeks, and her chin. 
He bit his lip and then searched in his great coat. 
She couldn't resist a smile. Is this how you treat your allies, Lieutenant?” 
He pulled out a handkerchief, wiping at the small streams of thawing snow on her face. His forehead was wrinkled in concentration, but he grinned. No, certainly not. But we are only temporary allies, after all." He met her eyes, and his hand slowed. 
Her skin tingled, and her stomach flipped erratically. Her eyes flitted to his mouth, and she forced them back up.
Was this temporary, what she was feeling? It felt like much more than the civil terms of the truce she had suggested. She swallowed. Surely it was simply the combination of their physical proximity, the mystical landscape, the rush of the snowball fight, and the stark contrast between her recent animosity and current friendliness toward him. It couldn't be anything more. It simply couldn't. 
Yes,she said, turning away. Temporary allies.

attention. However, there’s just something about her…

Almost
Home
by
Kimmie Easley

When
you know you’re in love with the right person, and you know why,
and you know it’s for all the right reasons, and you know they’re
all good…
Well,
you just know.
Or
at least you think you do.
That’s
not me.
I
don’t recognize good. It’s too few and far between. It’s been
that way my whole, entire life.
And,
unfortunately for him, it’s also become Avette’s new version of
normal, thanks to his unyielding love for me. My husband’s blinded
to all of the yuck and disgust that fucks me up from the inside out.
It’s
a talent or a gift. Maybe a curse. Whatever it is, it’s not one I
possess.
But
the worst part is I see what he wants.
He
wants me to feel the same. To see him in the same light. But that’s
not how my heart was created. I can’t feel or love the same way
that he does.
Life
doesn’t mean the same to me as it does to him.
No,
not until my entire world changed.
Hi,
I’m Trini Baker, and I’m an addict.
