Now that I’m visiting them for Christmas, I feel like I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. You see, in a moment of panic, I told them that I was finally bringing someone home to meet them. The catch? I don’t actually have anyone to bring home! What am I going to do? Just find a random person in this little mountain town an hour or two away from the cabin they rented for the holiday? Could I ever be that lucky?MattI wasn’t looking to do much with time I got off for the holiday. My job is physically demanding and the rest could do me good. And then I run into this young woman in the parking lot of a local coffee shop. It looks like she needs help, and I’m more than happy to assist. But when she asks if I’ll be her boyfriend for the weekend, I know I’m being given an opportunity I can’t refuse.

How bad could this family she’s dreading to see be? less

Kat: For my entire life, I’ve been expected to take over the family business. That might seem like no big deal, but it’s a lot to handle when that business is a huge chain of gas station convenience stores. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have a choice. Even though I don’t have a head for business, my parents always insist that it’s my duty to take over as CEO once my father retires. To feel more independent, I started secretly working at one of the convenience stores... moreKat: For my entire life, I’ve been expected to take over the family business. That might seem like no big deal, but it’s a lot to handle when that business is a huge chain of gas station convenience stores. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have a choice. Even though I don’t have a head for business, my parents always insist that it’s my duty to take over as CEO once my father retires. To feel more independent, I started secretly working at one of the convenience stores. The extra cash has been nice, and the evening shifts give me time for my real passion—writing romance novels. Everything was fine until one night, I found myself staring down the barrel of a gun. Will the handsome stranger that stepped in and saved me be able to help me in other ways too? Finn: Trucking isn’t what I wanted to do, but it’s what life handed me when I needed something to help me care for my mom. The money’s good, even if it means I have to spend a lot of time away from her. After she starts on a new medication, one not covered by my insurance, I start to pick up extra routes from the company I work for to help pay for them. I’d rather be at home, making sure she doesn’t feel alone with her mental illness, but we both know it’s better for her to have the medicine than me at home. One night, I stop at a gas station I’ve never been to. I’m tired, some caffeine would do me some good. What I didn’t expect to find was a damsel in distress, being held at gunpoint. Stepping in was a no brainer, but the feelings I’m beginning to catch? This little woman is going to be trouble, I just know it. less
