Love, laughter, and a little vampire charm…
In the snow-covered town of Willow Creek, Christmas runs like clockwork. Ghouls bake, vampires tend bar, and errant spirits drink cocoa—but this year, the holiday centerpiece has been stolen by rogue elves.
Event planner Holly Frost has no choice but to team up with the one man she truly cannot stand—Nikalus “Nick” Draven, the infuriatingly charming vampire who leads the local coven.
As they race to save the season, Holly starts to see the man behind the fangs, and Nick realizes he might care too much about the determined mortal trying to pull off a last-minute holiday miracle.
With Christmas, the gala, and their budding feelings on the line, Holly and Nick must decide whether they can bridge centuries of distrust and embrace the magic of the season.
Because nothing says Christmas like paranormal romance, small-town charm, and a little vampire mischief.
CJ Holmes lives in England, where it's cold and damp, and it's always raining—which provides her with enough time to write stories about magic, fantasy and romance. She'd like to escape to somewhere warm but that might mean that she spends too much time sunbathing and not enough time writing books.
She lives in a quaint English cottage that would have one of those idyllic gardens if her fingers weren't the opposite of green. Fortunately, her husband doesn't seem to mind that almost everything she tries to grow dies instead. She enjoys drinking wine and gin, which conveniently coincides with her love of reading and writing. Michael Ashwood writes stories that sit at the crossroads of cozy fantasy, modern fairytale, and weird fiction, blending inventive worldbuilding with a dry, slightly sideways sense of humour and a quiet belief that gentleness can change the world. He lives outside of Toronto with too many notebooks, not enough shelf space, and a running list of ideas that are all, deeply, deeply funny to him. When he isn’t writing, Michael can usually be found doing Canadian things—apologizing, remarking on the weather, that sort of thing.
