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.
Fa-La La-La Land by Brittany Larsen
She’s got a list to finish. He’s got a song to escape. Neither planned on falling in love this Christmas.
Stella Sparks has no time for love—not when her 30 Before 30 list is calling and her new job depends on reviving rockstar Rhys James’s image before he headlines Winter Lights Live.
The trouble? Rhys isn’t interested in playing America’s perfect popstar anymore, especially when his label insists he sing the cheesy Christmas hit he’s grown to hate.
And Stella, who once had his poster taped to her teenage bedroom wall, is no longer swooning—she’s determined to keep things professional.
But when a snowstorm strands them in Stella’s hometown, Rhys discovers small-town magic, a chance to write his own story, and the one woman who sees him for who he really is.
Too bad falling for him could cost Stella the career she’s fought for.
Vixen's Guide to Christmas by Chelle Sloan
I haven't written a letter to Santa since I was eight years old, but maybe this year I need to.
Dear Santa,
I promise, no matter what "he" told you, I've been good this year.
I didn't know he was my business rival when I slept with him.
I didn't know he hated me. Though, he didn't know it either.
And I didn't know that we would get snowed-in together in the mountains. In one hotel room. With one bed.
Anything that has been deemed naughty by the infuriatingly sexy man is accidental.
But maybe look into him. You know. To check it twice and all.
Signed, an apparent Vixen
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.
My Merry Mistake by Courtney Walsh
I don’t like to make mistakes. Ever. Especially when those mistakes are witnessed by the same person—flirty Finn Holbrook—who can’t seem to leave me alone. Can I really trust him not to tell anyone that the night we met, I tried to kiss him? Or that I fell apart after I got fired from a job I loved? Or that I’m not as strong as I want everyone to think I am?
The simple fact that he’s boomeranged back into my orbit after all these years feels like a great, big cosmic joke.
Only now he’s a professional hockey player, and while he doesn’t look like the goofy college bartender I met all those years ago, he still acts like one—immature, flirty, and unable to take anything seriously. Which is why I never, ever fall for his game.
I know better than to get swept up in romance. I don’t have time. I’m busy making myself irreplaceable in my new job with the Chicago Comets. Work isn’t just something I do, it’s who I am.
And while my sisters are constantly on me to slow down and take breaks, those things aren’t on my schedule, so . . . I push on. Do more. Load up my schedule. Overcommit. Until eventually, my stress lands me in the emergency room. The prescription? A month off. No emails. No work. No distractions.
Unless you count Finn Holbrook, who keeps showing up at my door, determined to leverage his positive, golden retriever energy to show me there's a great, big world outside that I haven't bothered to explore, most of it covered with white twinkle lights and Christmas decorations.
I begrudgingly go along with his grand plans, and little by little, I start to see there really is more to life than work—and more to Finn than flirting.
Which makes me wonder . . . how can someone so obviously wrong for me start to feel completely right? And more importantly . . . how do I make those feelings go away?
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.
So when Stella Stewart, the sassy property developer, lands in town, ready to make an offer for the family property, she finds out fast that coming here from New York … well that was a wasted trip.
I don’t want her money; I just want her gone. No matter how much I enjoy looking at her.
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 Holiday Grump by Enni Amanda
Hideaway Harbor was supposed to be a quick detour—one cozy Christmas job, then I’d be back on the cruise ship, far from my powerful ex and the mess I left behind.
But thanks to a tiny mix-up, my “accommodation” is a storage room with a creaky daybed and no plumbing.
Enter my neighbor Fredrik: a broody bookstore owner with a decent bathroom and the social skills of a cactus.
He’s everything I shouldn’t want—grumpy, reclusive, and allergic to holiday cheer. Yet he keeps showing up for me. Saving me. Heating up the sauna...
And suddenly, we’re tangled in something neither of us is ready for.
We’re just friends. With excellent benefits. Until the lines blur.
I should keep running, but this small town is starting to feel like home.
And Fredrik... he might be the reason I finally stay.
Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday season exactly like every other; haunting the terrible people of Annapolis in his aimless existence as the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Harriet York is a good person – or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what’s expected of her.
So, when Nolan is assigned the sweeter-than-candy-canes antique shop owner for his holiday haunting, neither of them have any idea why.
To escape one another, Harriet and Nolan must unravel the threads that bind them together – all by Christmas Eve.

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.
Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne
When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast.
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?
The Holiday Fakers by Evie Alexander
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. But Brody doesn’t do forever. And I don’t do heartbreak twice.
Brody
The plan was simple: come home, look reformed, and don’t fall for Piper Locke. Again. Instead, I’m stuck in a snow-globe town with the girl I never stopped wanting. Piper’s smart, hilarious, way too sexy—and still completely off-limits. She thinks I’ll leave like last time. And she’s right. My next job’s a world away from Hideaway Harbor. But this fake relationship feels dangerously real, and Piper isn’t just a PR fix. She’s the reason I want to stay. Too bad I’m the last person who deserves her... and the one person who can’t seem to walk away.
Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal by Meghan Quinn
The perfect festive romance involving a very creative misuse of a popcorn garland, a grand Christmas romantic gesture and getting snowed in with only one bed . . .
There are two things you should know about Atlas 'Max' Maxheimer. One: he has the presence of a six-foot-four lumberjack with a knack for making people smile. Two: he lives and breathes the holidays.

And she's going to ruin everything.
Betty is new in town, full of holiday cheer and, worst of all, is helping her uncle open a rival tree farm next door. Max is convinced she's out to destroy everything he loves. Betty thinks Max might be one sleigh short of a winter parade.
And they're having way too much fun trying to outdo each other.
After Christmas chaos, public humiliation and booby traps that Home Alone would be proud of, it only takes a blizzard, a romantic cottage and only one bed for the sparks between Max and Betty to ignite . . .

Gunnar Eriksson has a habit of saving people. First, when he rescued a young boy from a volcano and offered him a forever home. Then opening his door and welcoming in a spirited yet accident-prone Octogenarian.
Now Gunnar has somehow tied himself to Chloe who needs all the help she can get but, for some reason, is reluctant to accept it.

The Holiday Clause by Lydia Michaels
Three billionaire brothers. One ultimatum. And a childhood best friend who just became the prize.
The Christmas rush began the moment Magnus Hawthorne informed his sons that his billion-dollar empire would come with one hell of a holiday clause—whoever marries first inherits everything.
Too bad they all want the same woman.
Wren Wilde, Hideaway Harbor’s unintentional cat lady, is sick of bossy Hawthorne men controlling her non-existent love life. After years of their territorial interference, she’s finally going after what she wants. But Greyson, Soren, and Logan have other plans—one of them must marry, and all three brothers want Wren.
With no clue how her boring life turned into a billion-dollar competition, Wren refuses to play along. But when three alpha males turn on the holiday charm and refuse to take no for an answer, her defenses crumble.
Wren must decide which brother wins, and this Christmas, her choice comes down to love.
Merry Little Kissmas by Lauren Blakely
I should’ve known better than to make a Christmas bet with my brother’s best friend. Six-foot-three, grumpy, and allergic to mistletoe and feelings.
My job sounded simple: find a holidate for the sexy single-dad hockey star before the team’s Christmas Eve gala. But Rowan’s sworn off romance forever. So when he bets I can’t find him a plus one, I up the stakes and volunteer as tribute.
I’ll fake date the holiday hater just to prove him wrong. Cue the mistletoe sabotage and Secret Santa subterfuge.
But soon our practice dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions feel a little too real—especially when he starts planning secret trysts in our snowy small town. Where I discover exactly how fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
And when I get to know his book-loving daughter and they invite me into their life, what began as a holiday bet is turning into a Christmas I’ll never forget.
What if the only gift I want the grump to unwrap this season… is me?

Easton Maddox was supposed to be a high school memory—before Hollywood, before heartbreak, before she convinced herself walking away was the right thing.
But when one broken down car, a meddling grandmother, and a very compromising duet throws them back together, old feelings resurface faster than you can say “I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus.”
Now stuck in a cozy mountain lodge with one very determined ex, Natalie’s forced to confront the truth: maybe love doesn’t follow logic. And maybe, just maybe…the boy she left behind is the man who never left her heart.
A Merry Irish Christmas by Clodagh Murphy

But when she arrives in Ireland after a long journey, she discovers her family have had the same idea, and gone to New York to surprise her.

Mary is determined to keep the festive spirit alive, so she proposes that she and Evan each get one day where the other has to do things their way. But can Evan put aside his grouchiness to embrace a proper, Irish Christmas? And how will Mary cope with a day of sulking and moody walks on the beach?
One thing’s certain: as the temperature drops outside, things start to heat up inside the McBride house. Maybe it’ll be a merry Christmas after all...

Say It Isn't Snow by Veronica Eden
Snowed in with the one man I never want to see again? Not my dream holiday vacation.
My charming cabin getaway starts by fending off a bear attack with my rolling pin. Except…the bear is actually my best friend’s brother. The star hockey player who stole my heart and broke it.
Thanks, blizzard. Now I’m stuck alone with Caleb. He’s still frustratingly hot, and cocky as ever. This is what I get for taking time off from my beloved bakery. At least there are enough beds…but only one hot tub.
Despite the cold, the inescapable heat between us sizzles. For every inch of space I keep from him, he crosses it to make my control unravel. I can’t fall for how tempting he looks chopping firewood to keep us warm. Or how irresistible it is when he takes care of all my problems before I realize them. Not again.
Caleb won’t wear me down, no matter how hard he tries to convince me I’m the one who got away. Once the snow clears, we’re going separate ways. If he believes this is his second chance to win me back, well…he can kiss my sugar cookies.
