About this ebook

A Standalone Steamy Holiday Double Feature Romance.

One Christmas Vacation, Two Happily Ever Afters. Two complete stories in one delectable book. Get festive with fake dates, love triangles, firefighters and rockstars, friends to lovers, and love at first sight.

 

Tangled Lights

Those who can't do, write. Or so romance novelist Devon tells herself. When her hot coworker asks her to be his fake Christmas date, she's all-in for the research aspect, and if more comes of it? Bonus. Two weeks at his family cabin, skiing every day? Double fantastic. Until she lays eyes on his firefigher cousin and makes a mess of everything. 

  

Angel on Top

When accountant-by-day, rockstar-by-night Pike asks Devon to be his fake date to Christmas, he meant to ask her to be his real date, but he bungled it. Even at that, where there should be sparks, there are sputters. Another failed relationship in a series of disasters. After enough fails, maybe he needs someone to help him figure out what he keeps doing wrong. 

Charlie relationships every guy she dates, even her long-time friend Alexei. Next time, she's going to rent before she puts a down payment on another relationship lemon. Pike's hot, nice, trustworthy, and she's a sucker for the eyebrow ring and baby blue eyes. Maybe she just needs a little practice.

Alexei and Pike were both worried, they knew that the families expected them to meet a girl, know straight away that she was

About the author

Carrie's living her own happily ever after (with the inevitable ups and downs that go with it!) with her kids, husband, and dogs in the Pacific Northwest, working full time in healthcare, and always wishing the laundry would fold itself. When she’s not rocking the world of romantic fiction, she’s exploring the outdoors, traveling (or wishing she was), hanging out with her amazing family, or, quite frankly, she’s a total introvert and you can usually find her curled up in front of the fire or in the hammock with a romance novel.

Writing romance is Carrie’s not-so-guilty pleasure. She believes in writing genuine and strong characters, promoting positive ideals, that love and happily ever afters are for everyone, kindness is crucial, and she cannot resist a zinging romance.
