This series of interconnected spicy romcoms can be read in any order. All I want for Christmas is his complete and total destruction. Lucy. The only thing standing between me and an idyllic Christmas in Hideaway Harbor is Enzo Cafiero, the hot jerk whose family runs the Italian market next door to the coffee shop where I work. He hates me because I convinced his girlfriend to break up with him a few months ago. In my defense, his now-ex ran into the coffee shop sobbing. All I did was make her a latte and validate her feelings. He didn’t even live here at the time—they were just visiting—but he does live here now. He ditched his cushy NYC consulting job so he could save his family business. I’d admire his loyalty if he didn’t seem determined to ruin my Christmas. Because within minutes of his return, we’re trading barbs, destroying each other’s holiday events (RIP Santa Speed Dating), and having price wars. I loathe him. And, unfortunately, I really want to push him under the mistletoe. Enzo. Hideaway Harbor is the last place I want to be. But family means everything to me, so I left the big city to help mine. Getting dragged into a full-on holiday feud with the girl next door wasn’t part of the plan, but I’m living for my hate-off with Lucy. The truth is, I’d rather argue with her than get along with anyone else. The Holiday Hate-Off is a small-town enemies-to-lovers romcom with dueling shopkeepers, sharp banter, intense chemistry, secret letters (think You've Got Mail), and close proximity. less

One fake boyfriend. One bed. One very complicated Christmas. Piper. I promised my mom I’d bring a boyfriend home for the holidays. I did not mean Brody King—Hollywood heartthrob, tabloid trainwreck, and the reason I have a folder of fantasy fan art I’ll take to the grave. He’s also my brother’s best friend and the man who ghosted our small town (and me) twelve years ago. Now we’re sharing one bed, faking a relationship, and pretending he’s changed. The problem? I’m starting to believe it... moreOne fake boyfriend. One bed. One very complicated Christmas. Piper. I promised my mom I’d bring a boyfriend home for the holidays.

Despite dreams to explore the world, I’ve never been anywhere other than this small harbor town. Single mom, local postmistress, and one-fourth owner of a failing auto repair shop are all the reasons I’ve remained planted where my roots began. Hideaway Harbor is layered in love for the holidays, enticing visitors to the coastal area for a seasonal respite, so thanks to an unpredicted blizzard, it’s no surprise when a stranger plows into the town’s welcome sign. What is a surprise is when he’s suddenly—and rather reluctantly by me—an extended-stay guest in my home thanks to no vacancies in town, some pesky matchmaking, and candy cane martinis on a Monday. There’s something vaguely familiar about this new visitor. The combination of snow and tinsel colored hair. The well-trimmed matching beard. The laugh lines near his coal-colored eyes. How good he looks in the color red. He’s thoughtful and kind, and has a flair for the holiday season, which makes him most likely to make the top of Santa’s good guy (with a hint of bad boy) list. After some disappointing news concerning the holidays, the hap, hap, happiest time of the year isn’t feeling so spectacular. But my houseguest’s presence builds a snowstorm of emotions in my chest, making my Christmas wish a transfer to the naughty list . . . with him. Unfortunately, there’s a mystery behind his origins, and he has “not-staying” written all over him. With places to be before the calendar flips to December twenty-fourth, he’ll soon be gone, and I’ve encountered this heartbreaking, lump-of-coal sensation once before. No matter how short or sweet his visit, there’s no doubt about the magic we make together, leaving me to wonder if love is the greatest adventure we take. + + +. Welcome to Hideaway Harbor - where Christmas charm meets small town - and six amazing authors bring you six original holiday romances steeped in heat, heart, and winter quirkiness which can be read as standalones. less
