From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Nicole James comes a grumpy sunshine, small town, holiday romance!

JJ—
I’ve been to Christmas Town. Never thought I’d admit that to anyone. And yes, it’s a real place.

My brother and I visited there many times when we went to see our grandparents for the holidays. The small Tennessee town is proud of its name and takes it seriously. Gramps owns the local Christmas tree farm, Holly Jolly Farms on Candy Cane Lane. I know, right? Gag me with a spoonful of sugar.

I haven’t seen Gramps in forever, so never in a million years would I have expected that he’d leave it to me and my brother in his will. Only problem is, my brother passed away eight months ago. Guess gramps didn’t get a chance to update his will before he kicked the bucket.

It’s not that I’m ungrateful. We had some fun times there as boys, but now I’m a grown man who lost his Christmas wonder a long time ago. You could say I’m the definition of Bah-humbug.

To top it all off, I now share ownership of the place with my brother’s widow, a woman I’ve never even met.

Why is that, you ask?

Because I’m the black sheep of the family. I left home a decade ago and joined a motorcycle club. How’s that for a flying finger to the whole fam?

Needless to say, I haven’t been invited back since.

Not once.

So, all things considered, I’m thinking we make a quick sale, and unload the place to the first buyer we can find. But Rebecca has other ideas. She wants to make a go of it and she’s got a ton of ideas.

She’s complicating everything with her perky attitude and persistent optimism.

Per the stipulations of the will, neither one of us can sell unless the other one agrees, at least for the first year.

So, now I’m stuck with a failing tree farm and a hot-as-hell partner who pushes all my buttons, and is full of stinking Christmas cheer.

If I hear another ho-ho-ho, I won’t be responsible for my actions.

Between the tinsel and glitter and twinkling lights, the tree farm on Candy Cane Lane is coming back to life and my sexy partner is trying my last nerve and testing all my willpower. Lord, save me. It’s enough to drive a man to drink.

Pass the eggnog and don’t skimp on the liquor.

I’m in Freaking hell.



Review:
JJ is back in town after leaving years ago. All he wants to do is get over the reading of his grandfather's will and get the heck out of town. It is not a place he wants to be or calls home, but when his brother's wife walks in, things are about to change. Rebecca had no idea who JJ was until they met, let alone now that they are going to be business partners for a year. She has to beg him to stay and help. His parents are POS's, and I was not a fan. As JJ and Rebecca figure out how to bring the tree farm back, they also have to figure out how not to fall into bed together. I loved JJ's MC family and the way they were there to help when needed. But this book is not without drama. You won't even guess all the secrets and drama that come with this story, but it will be entertaining.

Over & Out Release

  Over & Out by Claire Wilder is now live! Three months ago, a dirt bike accident stole my confidence, my beloved ride, and the one thing that made me feel alive. Now I'm going through the motions in my coastal tourist town, totally adrift... and trying not to think about the stranger who pulled me from the wreckage. But when I stand up to a super-rude customer at the beach bar I work at, my life suddenly flips upside-down. Because that customer is Hopper Donnach: Hollywood heartthrob, certified a-hole, and horrifyingly, player of a character who helped me through my darkest moments. And now? He's my temporary boss.  Hopper's hot-tempered, infuriating, and way too gorgeous for someone who insists on keeping things strictly professional. But under the gruff exterior, I see glimpses of something real. Kindness. Sadness. A secret. I can't fall for my boss, not when he has the power to shatter my already fragile heart into smithereens. Not when this forced proximity...

  Title: Denim & Diamonds Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography Model: Lucas Loyola Release Date: July 27, 2025 BLURB When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included: 1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar. 2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed. 3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall. 4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook. He was also a cinnamon roll despi...

  Title: Cinder & Secrets Series: Ink & Ashes #2 Author: Melissa Toppen Genre: Contemporary Romance Tropes: Best Friend's Brother/College Romance Release Date: June 27, 2025 BLURB I had a lot of plans for my freshman year of college. Falling for my roommate’s older brother was definitely not one of them. Not like I had a choice in the matter. The second he walked in with that crooked smile and dark green eyes, I was a goner. But River Parker doesn’t exactly make it easy on me. One minute he’s acting like he’s just as interested in me as I am in him, the next he’s detached and indifferent. And to make matters worse, the only person who could give me insight into the man who has completely consumed my every waking thought for months, is the one person he doesn’t want me to tell… His sister—who happens to be one of my closest friends. I’m stuck in this constant push and pull—unsure of where he truly stands—which only serves to complicate things further. Given that he li...
