Sweet Romance Author
A secret arrangement pairs an upbeat social media consultant with a grumpy shop owner in this sweet, opposites attract romance.
Summer Adams quit her six-figure marketing job to launch her own social media business, but she’s one bill away from revamping her resume. So when she’s asked to help a struggling storefront on-site, she jumps at the chance.
The problem? The shop’s located in a Christmas-obsessed town and the handsome, infuriating owner never knew she was coming.
Elijah Howell left a lucrative career in sales engineering to run his late father’s ornament shop and to preserve his legacy. But saving the business means embracing the very thing Elijah hates: social media. When his sister secretly hires Summer, he’s forced to work alongside the woman who challenges him at every turn.
Long hours turn frustration into undeniable chemistry. Then one viral video changes everything and opens new doors. Summer is all in, but Elijah is hesitant to become the face of the shop. Before she leaves town, can they find common ground while navigating their newfound romance, or will their differences drive them apart for good?
When a grumpy author and an avid reader agree to live and work with each other for two weeks, holiday magic and forced proximity start to blur the lines in this sweet Christmas romance.
After losing her job right before the holidays, Stephanie Wade treats herself to one small joy: getting her favorite book signed by her favorite author, Jerome Hailey. She never expects to spill hot cocoa across his display table… or for him to offer her a job as his live-in story consultant by the end of the day.
She accepts with one significant rule: keep things strictly about writing. Nothing personal.
Jerome’s career skyrocketed fast, but many bestsellers and one bad breakup later, he’s facing writer’s block for the first time. With a Christmas Eve deadline and a looming seven-figure book deal, he’s desperate for help. The clumsy, clever, beautiful woman who almost ruined his signing may be all the inspiration he needs. But as long hours turn into shared moments and stolen glances, that one rule becomes harder to follow.
With the deadline approaching, can they keep things professional or will they take a chance on something new this Christmas?
