The Holiday Hate-Off by Angela Casella

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.

Grace & Henry's Holiday Movie Marathon by Matthew Norman

The new year had barely begun when Grace White and Henry Adler both lost their spouses. Now, nearly a year later, the first holiday season since their "Great and Terrible Sadnesses" approaches. Although their mothers scheme to matchmake the two surviving spouses, it’s clear that neither is ready to date again. Yet no one understands what they are going through better than each other, and a delicate friendship is born.

When Henry sees an ad for a Christmas movie marathon—once an annual tradition for him and his wife—Grace offers to watch some films with him, despite her aversion to a few of his picks. Her two young kids, Ian and Bella, also join in whenever possible—bedtimes permitting, of course.

With each movie, Grace and Henry’s shared grief eases as they start to see a life beyond the sadness. But as they draw closer, other romantic possibilities leave them uncertain about their future together. Is their bond merely the result of loneliness and shared circumstances, or have they found something that’s worth taking a shot at . . . again?

The Christmas Playbook by S. Massery & S.J. Sylvis

One cabin. One week. One fake relationship.

Winter break was supposed to be easy: one last trip with my best friends, a little snowboarding, maybe some hot cocoa spiked with something stronger. No drama, no strings. Then my cabin got double-booked.

Enter Mira Winters—my childhood neighbor and crush. And somehow, the girl managed to get even prettier since the last time I saw her. She’s got one problem: her family makes mine look like a walk in the park, and she’d rather fake a boyfriend than deal with their constant judgement.

Guess who she asks to step up? Yours truly. It’s supposed to be for show. Hold her hand. Steal a kiss under the mistletoe. Pretend I’m head over heels for her. Easy. Right?

Except the more we play this game, the more I want it to be real. And suddenly I’m less worried about the score her family is keeping and more about what happens when the week is over—because for the first time in a long time, I’m all in. This Christmas, I do

Mistletoe Meet Cute by Bella Matthews

Falling for my brother’s teammate wasn’t on my Christmas list. Neither was working for him, but here I am—nannying for Camden Monroe, Philly’s star quarterback, single dad, and the grumpiest grinch to ever fill out a pair of gray sweats.

He should be the last man I want under my mistletoe. He’s too old. Too cocky. And too damn tempting. But one snowy night, one reckless touch, and one unforgettable kiss have me rethinking everything I thought I wanted.

Suddenly, the holidays aren’t about twinkle lights and tinsel. They’re about stolen moments, secret touches, and the kind of Christmas chaos that feels way too good to resist.

Maybe the best gifts don’t come wrapped in pretty bows... Maybe they come with dirty grins, filthy mouths, and the power to make me forget every single reason why Camden doesn’t belong at the top of my wish list...

Holiday Unscripted by Natasha Madison

Elizabeth

My brother was getting married. At Christmas no less. The holiday I hated the most. Let me list all the reasons why this will be the worst season yet: One would be my luggage not arriving. Two would be being told I had to find somewhere else to sleep since my room was occupied by family members. Oh, and now I am forced to stay with my brother's best friend. The man who broke my heart seven years ago.

Nate

My best friend was getting married. I was happy for him. Until I had to offer his sister my spare bedroom. It'd be fine, two weeks and she'd be out of my hair. But the thing with Elizabeth was that she pushed every single button I have. She gets under my skin in the best ways. All we have to do is survive the wedding and the holiday. Then she'll be gone yet again. Unless maybe, just maybe, my wish of having her comes true.

Mistletoe & Magic by Erin Branscom

Remy Bennett hasn’t believed in magic or Christmas in a long time. Not since he became a single dad overnight and buried his heart beneath flannel, firewood, and the endless to-do list of running Bennett Tree Farm. With a business to keep afloat and a five-year-old daughter to raise, Remy’s holiday season is usually spent dodging carols, surviving the crowds, and keeping his distance from anything that might hurt again. Joy, love, mistletoe? No, thank you.

He’s grumpy. He’s guarded. And he’s determined to power through the holidays in peace. But this year, Junie wants twinkle lights, cookie baking, and bedtime stories that don’t come from tired dads with callused hands. So Remy does the one thing he swore he wouldn’t. He hires a nanny.

Ivy Maren is a little too bright. A little too chaotic. And maybe, just maybe… a little bit magical. With glitter on her cheeks and warmth in her bones, Ivy turns the entire farm upside down. Suddenly, the scent of cinnamon and cedar fills the air. Mistletoe appears in places Remy swears he didn’t hang. Junie’s laughter rings through the farmhouse like sleigh bells. And Ivy, with her soft sweaters, secret smiles, and something almost enchanted in her touch, begins to thaw the ice around Remy’s heart.

He tells himself it’s just the season. That this strange, shining girl is just here for a job. That once the new year comes, the magic will fade. But Ivy isn’t just here to care for Junie. She’s here to rewrite what Christmas means to a lonely little girl, to a tree farm that’s lost its sparkle, and to the man who doesn’t know how to believe anymore.

This holiday, love might be the most magical thing of all.

The Christmas Catch by Hannah Gray

The coast of Maine may not be everybody’s dream place to live, but for me, it’s home. Miles and miles of shoreline have been in my family’s possession for well over a hundred years, and I have no intention of letting that change, either.

But when back-to-back nor’easters ground all flights in and out of Maine, Stella suddenly ends up with no place to go besides my family’s Christmas celebration. And she has no place to stay—besides my house. In my bed.

I may be the salty fisherman. But she’s just … salty. At least I thought she was until I spent some time with her. Now, I’m not so sure. But I do know one thing … I’m suddenly not quite ready for her to leave town.

The Bright Side of Christmas by Morgan Elizabeth

Wren King is the one person in town everyone can rely on: need someone to watch your kids? She’s got it, you deserve a night off! Want five dozen cookies for a bake sale? Call up Wren; she loves to bake. As the small town of Holly Ridge’s sweetheart, she’s always available to help, even if it leaves little time for herself along the way.

But this holiday season, it’s ramped up to the next level. As her first year as the head of the decorating committee, a title she inherited after her grandmother passed away, she’s determined to make it the best and brightest year Holly Ridge has ever seen. A bigger festival, decorations on every possible inch of town, and, of course, more lights. Who cares if she’s tired and worn down? She can sleep in January. Christmas only comes but once a year, after all.

Adam Porter moved to Holly Ridge in search of peace and quiet. As a well-known songwriter with writer’s block, he’s hoping a sleepy small town will be the perfect place to find his inspiration and write again. The problem? He hates Christmas. This year, he’s hoping to hide away in the small town, avoid Christmas completely, and write the next big hit by the New Year.

Unfortunately, when he tells his new next-door neighbor, Wren, that he has no plans to decorate his home and thus threatens to break a sixty-year tradition in the town, a battle of decor ensues. As the season progresses and Wren becomes increasingly determined, Adam remains steadfast in his conviction that nothing will make him enjoy the holidays.

Definitely not his sunshiny neighbor, who is convinced she has enough holiday cheer for the two of them.

The Holiday Post by L.B. Dunbar

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.

Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister... and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants.

But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

While It Was Snowing by Julia London

All Amy Casey wants for Christmas is to paint. She needs five new paintings for the holiday show at her local art gallery, but between her two teenage sons, her needy ex-husband, and her overbearing parents, she hardly has any time for herself. Luckily, her best friend has the perfect solution: a vacant family lake house in North Texas, all hers for two weeks of distraction-free painting. Or so she thought.

Turns out professional golfer Harrison Neely also rented the lake house so he can spend the holidays rehabbing the injury that has put his career—and life—on hold. Despite the booking snafu, both Amy and Harrison (along with Amy's old blind dog and the army of child-sized nutcrackers residing in the living room) agree to share the festive lodging.

When an impending snowstorm has the two cozying up by the fire, sparks fly in more ways than one, and they open up to each other, unwrapping secrets and stories they’ve never shared before. But Harrison is expected back on the tournament circuit after the holidays, and Amy's family needs her. As their departure date looms and her family and his manager press them for answers, they’ll have to decide if this December to remember has been a fun holiday fling, or if they’ve found a Christmas miracle: true love.

You Make It Feel Like Christmas by Sophie Sullivan

Maisie Smart doesn’t look back. Not on the choice she made to be a photographer, and not on the one-night stand she had six months ago. But sleeping with a professional hockey player who bolted the morning after is a whole new level of embarrassing.

Now she’s about to spend the week at Tickle Tree Farms with her family this Christmas―and then the universe throws a Grinch in her festive plans.

Nick King is a mess. After a significant injury benches him, he has more time to dwell on his anxieties and the one-night stand he can’t get out of his head. With the holidays around the corner, he figures visiting his sister and nephew at their Christmas tree farm will be a good way to sort himself out.

That’s impossible when he learns Maisie is there, still beautiful and justifiably angry about the way he left. But Christmas is the time for second chances, and the forced proximity may help Nick and Maisie unwrap feelings neither of them can walk away from twice.

Date Night in December by Jaqueline Snowe

He has one month to make a Christmas miracle happen.

Laney Reynolds knows there’s only one place that can help her heal a broken heart: Cherrywood Creek. The small town where she grew up, with its holiday festivals and snow-covered streets, is exactly where she needs to be this December.

It feels good to leave the bustling city, where her husband was too busy climbing the corporate ladder to notice the growing distance between them. But she’s got his attention now . . .

Connor received his wake-up call loud and clear when Laney left, and there’s no way he’s giving up on his marriage. If that means dropping everything and trading high-rises for gingerbread houses to sweep his wife off her feet in her hometown, then so be it.

This time, he’s listening; but it’ll take more than hot chocolate dates and even hotter nights to win Laney back. Can he prove that being a CEO is nowhere near as important as being her husband?
