Christmas Deadline

Seattle romance author Holly Lane and English mystery author Noel Atteberry agreed to co-author a book, but they’ve reached an impasse. Holly insists on her trademark happy ending, but Noel? Gotta kill off the happy couple. If they don’t meet their deadline, they’ve got to return the advance they both need for their families.
Maybe working side-by-side they can finish the darned book. So off Holly goes to Noel’s English country estate. Good news: the co-authors feel the same heat of attraction as their fictional hero and heroine. Bad news: still no dice on that ending. Will Holly and Noel manage to write a happily-ever-after for their fictional couple—and themselves—by their Christmas Eve deadline?
