Love for Christmas

Sometimes love needs a little extra nudge from the holidays.

Both still aching from recent breakups and vowing to avoid romantic entanglements for the foreseeable future, Les and Sly set out from Phoenix, Arizona on parallel holiday road trips to reach Chicago by Christmas Eve.

Good-natured happy-go-lucky Les is great at friendships and a failure at love relationships. He relocated to Phoenix to stick by his best friends and immediately jumped into another painful dating situation that ended in a parking lot Christmas tree market.

Sly is eager to leave one of the worst years of his life behind. The end of a two-year romance and the death of his stepfather cast a cloud of gloom over his December. He’s determined to have a better Christmas with his grieving mom in Chicago.

By the time Les and Sly unexpectedly cross paths for the third time in their journey, they suspect it just might be more than coincidence. Love for Christmas is a 35,000-word holiday romance and includes characters from the book Love Next Door , but it is easily read as a standalone holiday romance. It features Christmas carols, Cadillac Ranch, burgers on the road, lots of cookies, and a big Christmas boost from Santa Claus.
