BIG ON CHRISTMAS!!

I'm so tickled and honored to be part of The Wild Rose Press's Twelve Brides of Christmas series!!

My part of the series is titled, BIG ON CHRISTMAS!!


Here's the blurb:

Born to free-spirited, convention-shucking parents, Cassie Newman thirsts for normal. Leaving L.A. with a secret, she finds herself in Woodstock, Vermont - a town rich with Christmas tradition. She's not big on Christmas but Woodstock feels like the perfect fit. Landing a job with Stennett's Hardware, she tries to forget the world she knew, but Luke Stennett's small-town charm makes her even more aware of the life she never had.

Luke Stennett has his hands full with running the store and caring for his dad. He's attracted to Cassie but he doesn't have time for a relationship. Things are starting to go right but he harbors a secret of his own that has the potential to turn everything upside down. 

Once their secrets are revealed, will it kill the chemistry and send Cassie back to L.A.? Or will she fight for her happiness and stay firmly planted in a place big on Christmas?





To celebrate, I'm giving away some prizes.  Everyone is eligible to participate. All you have to do to be entered in the drawings is to leave a comment below. Winning names will be drawn on Wednesday morning (Nov. 26th) at 9:00 a.m. (EST) 

Here are the prizes to be given away: 

2 - $10 Amazon Gift cards
2 - Necklaces that I bought in Tennessee this summer especially for this drawing
1 - Sonomo Necklace
1 - Origami Necklace

* Every winner will also get a box of chai tea. Why? Because I'm silly that way and because my heroine in the story, Cassie Newman, drinks chai.







Good luck to all of you!

And...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Congratulations on publishing BIG ON CHRISTMAS! No doubt this story is as heart-warming and zesty as is THE CHRISTMAS CONTRACT. Best, best wishes on your promo! See you in the stream. :-)
