The Christmas Yes List By Melissa Ferguson
All she wants for Christmas is a rejection.
Chloe Hollis is done being a people-pleaser. After one too many bad decisions–including a job that asked her to cross a line she couldn’t–she’s determined to change. Her plan? Collect ten nos before Christmas by asking strangers for the most ridiculous favors she can think of.
It should be easy.
But then? Then she meets James.
Instead of shutting her down, the charming out-of-towner keeps saying yes–to Christmas karaoke, to small-town holiday traditions, to every spontaneous, hilarious, totally chaotic idea she throws his way. And the more he says yes, the harder it becomes for Chloe to stick to her plan . . . or protect her heart.
Because James has a reason for saying yes to everything, too–and it might cost them both more than they bargained for.
As their opposite missions collide in a swirl of festive mishaps, unexpected courage, and undeniable chemistry, Chloe starts to wonder if the biggest risk isn’t rejection after all . . . but saying yes to something real.
Not Home Alone By Kayley Loring
She just walked into her dream Christmas rental… and found her worst enemy already unpacked.
Eternal optimist Merrily Tucker is excited to spend Christmas in the most beautiful house in town; a twinkly, tinsel-lined rental that’s just hers for the holidays. But inside is one big problem… the man who once turned her down in front of the whole of Holly Grove, irritatingly handsome, certified Grinch Grant Moody. He says he’s the owner. And he’s planning to spend Christmas here too.
The town might think he’s a playboy, but Grant Moody is determined to spend his Christmas nights alone. Zero decorations, a ban on baked goods, and definitely no holiday spirit. A mix-up with the rental company isn’t going to get in his way. Even if the woman at his door is the irresistibly gorgeous one-who-got-away Merrily Tucker…
Merrily and Grant are both too stubborn to leave.
Battling for control over what music plays on the speakers and heaving Christmas trees in and out of the house, they find themselves all tangled in tinsel. But Merrily’s “when I think about you, I touch my elf” t-shirt has Grant’s candy cane tingling in a way that begs the question…
A Magical Scottish Christmas By Ellie Henderson
A snowbound village. A cosy inn worth fighting for. And a Christmas that could change everything.
Three years ago, Lily Thomas came to Rowan Bay looking for a fresh start. She found it at a cosy inn on the shores of Loch Lomond — and made it the heart of the village.
Now the owners are selling to a faceless hotel chain, and Lily has until New Year to save the place she finally calls home.
Luckily, she knows exactly who to ask.
Hamish Galbraith runs the village whisky distillery, volunteers with mountain rescue, and is currently dog-sitting a Labrador called Kevin. He’s also been Lily’s closest friend since the day she arrived.
Which is precisely why she’s tried so hard not to fall for him.
But as snow blankets Rowan Bay and Christmas markets, festive afternoon teas and a very special whisky launch bring Lily and Hamish closer, friendship starts to feel dangerously like love.
Then a face from Lily’s past walks through the inn door — threatening everything she’s built.
With Christmas approaching and the whole village behind her, can Lily fight for the home she’s built . . . and finally trust her heart?
Best Mistake Ever By Ashley Eden
I would do anything for my grumpy boss, even agree to be his fake fiancée for a weekend.
Monty’s mother is expecting to finally meet the future Mrs. Crawford and begin planning a destination wedding in paradise.
Rather than break her heart by telling her his actual engagement is off, Monty wants me to play the part of his bride. In fact, he says I’m the only one he actually trusts to pull this off.
He tells me that the plan is simple.
We’ll argue constantly, I’ll complain about everything, his mom will see that we’re completely wrong for each other, and we’ll fly home to stage our breakup.
Easy.
Except his mother absolutely loves me and thinks Monty and I are perfect for each other.
Suddenly, I’m starting to wonder if pretending to be in love with my boss might be the worst idea ever or the best mistake I’ve ever made.
