Everyone says there's no place like home... well not for me.

When I'm forced to spend the holidays at home with my family in Strawberry Hollow, I have no idea how I'm even going to survive the week, let alone make it through my least favorite holiday... Christmas.

That is until I run into my childhood crush, and my brother's best friend, Parker Grant.

Now, he's the sexy, off-limits doctor in our small town, and nothing like the man I left behind six years ago.

While I hate the holidays, there is nothing that he loves more.

Well, other than a good bet.

Which is exactly what happens when we end up together under the mistletoe.

A bet that changes everything.

He asks for the next seven days to change my mind about Christmas.

But seven days alone with Parker is more than either of us bargained for.

Now, there's much more at stake than a silly mistletoe bet.

The Mistletoe Bet is a complete standalone Christmas novella with lots of banter, even more laughter and a heartwarming HEA.

The proposal was simple: Score a homerun and take my virginity.

Except, my proposal went to the wrong brother.

It was supposed to go to my best friend, but as fate would have it, it fell into the hands of his infuriatingly hot, irritatingly charming older brother.

Lane Collins is Orleans University's All-Star baseball captain.

Cocky pitcher. Player on and off the field. The life of every party.

And the same guy I've crushed on in secret since we were kids.

He's always been out of my league.

That is until he signs the dotted line on a proposal that wasn't meant for him, and offers to teach me... everything.

The one and only condition?

We walk away once everything's checked off.

Easier said than done when my heart is involved.

Now, it's a whole new ballgame.

I accidentally hooked up with the guy I despise. A mistake I'd love to forget...except now he's my new roommate.

Reese Landry is Orleans University's arrogant, All-Star catcher.

And I'm the one girl he can't seem to catch.

If anything, it only makes him want me more.

He's disgustingly rich, stupidly charming, and everyone loves him.

Except me.

But then life throws me the ultimate curveball: He's my new temporary roomie.

I thought it was going to be easy, keeping him at a distance.

Turns out, I was wrong.

He's nothing like the cocky, rich playboy that I thought he was.

I told myself one more time wouldn't hurt.

We promised to keep things casual, no strings attached.

But soon lines blur, and he somehow becomes my only safe space to land.

And now, we're catching feelings.

I fell for my secret pen pal believing we would never meet but now.. he's my husband.

Grant Bergeron is Orleans University's playboy first baseman.

He's charming, kind... and a tad arrogant.

But underneath his party guy demeanor, he's more than anyone sees.

I needed a husband, and he strode in like prince charming, taking me up on the marriage pact from our past. One that I never imagined actually happening.

Our I do's were meant to be temporary, a walk-off wedding that benefited us both.

But when he takes our vows more seriously than I expect, old feelings begin to resurface.

Now we're sharing a too small apartment and he's everywhere.

In my room, in my bed, and... in my heart.

Our marriage is supposed to be fake, but I think I'm falling for my husband.

My family is famous for two things in our small town:

Our annual Christmas party

And....

Our feud with The Pearce family.

Our families hate each other. It's a tale as old as St. Nick himself.

So, imagine what happens when a harmless little argument with Jackson Pearce ends with us both behind bars for the night.

As if that wasn't bad enough... The punishment for our crime?

The only Christmas party we're allowed to have is one together.

At Town Hall.

But... It gets worse.

That means that I'll be forced to spend time with Jackson and his enormous ego while we plan this party and somehow keep our families from strangling each other with tinsel this holiday season.

It doesn't help that he is annoyingly attractive and goes out of his way to push my buttons.

With his old, dirty, work boots, and his stupid veiny forearms, he works his way into my perfectly organized life and leaves everything in disarray.

Will we actually be able to survive this... Festive Feud, or will we end up back where we started?

Hayes Davis is America's sweetheart, the #1 hockey player in the country, and my fake fiancé.

Simple, right?

It would be, if my betrothed were anyone else.

But it turns out America's sweetheart is arrogant, selfish, and a guy I have no intentions of letting break my heart again.

It was never supposed to happen.

But then one night changes everything.

Now, he's not only my pretend fiancé but my very real baby daddy.

How can two people who hate each other pull off the lie of a lifetime while figuring out how to raise a child together? Everything between us was supposed to be fake, but I'm not pretending anymore.

When I stumbled across my dream job in the classified section of my newspaper, I knew it had to be too good to be true.

Turns out it was.

Becoming the nanny for the grumpiest hockey coach in the NHL was more like a nightmare.

Liam Cartright was infuriating, stubborn, and impossible. Oh, and he happened to be my new boss.

I should have signed my resignation with a giant kiss my ass the moment he opened his mouth, but I couldn't.

I fell for his little girls before I realized it was happening, and my resolve began to weaken.

Our roles were clearly drawn out.

He was the boss, and I was the nanny.

But then we crossed a line.

I wouldn't lose my job over a chiseled jawline and a few stolen kisses.

I couldn't. Not when so much was at stake.

But Liam was the one who made the rule book, and I had no choice but to play by his rules.

From bestselling author of The Mistletoe Bet, Maren Moore comes a second chance, single dad, holiday novella full of Christmas sugar and spice.

I love Christmas.

So much so that in my smalltown I'm known as The Queen of Christmas.

And no one knows holiday festivities quite like Strawberry Hollow.

Only this Christmas season delivers an unexpected twist in the form of Wyatt Owens.

The handsome single father of my new student...

Who just so happens to also be my first love.

The one who broke my heart all those years ago.

I haven't seen Wyatt since he left our hometown behind, but a piece of me has always been his.

And all those old feelings come rushing back the moment we see each other again.

Only now the boy I once loved is a charming, delicious and intoxicating man.

One I'm not sure I can resist.

Especially when neither of us can deny his daughter Lucy's holiday wish- for the three of us to compete together as a team in Strawberry Hollow's Annual Christmas List tradition.

At first, he's determined to win every festive challenge on the list but the more things we check off, the more it seems like he wants to win me instead.

Soon things are heating up between us, and suddenly I find myself at risk of falling... for my ex.

But I'm not sure I could survive the heartbreak of losing him again.

Is this just a holiday fling...

Or is this the second chance I've always secretly hoped for?

Imagine being in love with your best friend's brother.

Then.. keeping it a secret for years.

Ridiculously charming, a total player and a hockey super star... Reed Davidson has been the boy next door who's had my heart for as long as I can remember.

He was the ultimate bad boy, and I was just his sister's shy best friend.

But when Reed's world is suddenly flipped upside down and he gets custody of his nephew, I'm the only one who can help.

I shouldn't have offered to come on the road with them, but Reed wasn't cut out to be a single dad and I knew he needed help. I tried to hide my feelings for him, but the two of us, the cutest kid on the planet, and a long hockey season were a recipe for disaster.

Reed was used to getting everything he ever wanted, and this time... He wanted me.

Only now, the stakes are higher and my heart is the one on the line.
