Christmas Chemistry

Two friends with an attraction that's ready to ignite. A small town with big holiday energy. 'Tis the season...for sparks to fly. Marley Between my kitschy wardrobe, sentimental decorations, and overflowing to-do list, I can't wait for Christmas. Maybe it's basic to love the holidays this much, but hey-I never claimed to be exciting.

Making the tinsel even brighter is my new friend, James. Ever since the sexy city boy came to Coleman Creek, his not from around here vibe has captured my attention. Too bad Mid-Marley isn't the type of girl to hold his interest.

Still, I'm sensing we could have some serious fun together. If only for the season.

James Coleman Creek is starting to feel like home. Folks are kind-something I've needed after a string of setbacks-and I love my new teaching career.

Then there's Marley. She's making my holidays merry for the first time in years. Our connection is intense, but so are the walls I've built around my heart. Between budget problems at school and my dreaded upcoming high school reunion, it's probably best to keep things platonic, right?

I'm just not sure I can hold back-especially when a weekend away forces us to share a bed.

Christmas Chemistry is a cozy, emotional friends-to-lovers small town holiday romance with open-door spice. A regular girl and a regular guy find their extraordinary HEA. It's full of conspiring colleagues, sarcastic students, hideous holiday sweaters and two delightful doggos.
