Lauren Cohen was born with a round face, wide blue eyes, slightly chubby cheeks, stick-thin body, and short stature. Maybe that's why she's 24 and still forever single. 

So she's ecstatic when she finally has a shot with her cute coworker  at her hometown's quirkiest holiday confectionery. She's liked Austin from the moment she began training at the bakery, and he's the perfect guy to talk to- he's super nice, likes to write just like Lauren, and best of all- actually seems to enjoy talking with her.

Then she finds out that he's been given a great professional opportunity and may be moving out to Cincinnati in two short weeks...if he accepts the position. Now Lauren's at crunch time to land not just a friendship, but maybe a relationship as well.

Will she get the Christmas miracle she's hoping for?

'Needs a lot of editing' We break the kiss hurriedly and look in the door's direction to see Andrea. "Oh my god, sorry. I didn't know you were eating her face, Gabriel. Get a room," She teases. "We are in a room," I remark, throwing a pillow her way. "Ha! Missed me," she laughs when she avoided the pillow. I throw another one and miss again. "Missed me again," She laughs again. "I swear to God Andy," I say, losing my patience. "Okay, okay, I'll go now and let you guys finish." She states, swaying her eyebrows. When she leaves I look back at a blushing mess Bailey, and I smile when I think about how cute she looks. ____________________________ Andrea and Gabriel had been friends since the first day Andrea joined Carter's company as an assistant.

58 parts Complete Mature
Lucy Halloway has had a thing for Jack Dalton since their very first shift together at Mag's Sports Bar. Charming, hilarious, and a fellow Sundevil, Jack checked every box-until he announced he never dates co-workers and proved it by earning a reputation as the bar's resident heartbreaker. Lucy filed her feelings under "never gonna happen" and settled for being his best friend instead. For Jack, Lucy has always been his favorite co-worker, but when she drops the bomb that she's engaged and moving to New York, something in him shifts. Too little, too late, he makes a messy, last-minute attempt to win her over... and ends up blowing everything up instead. Now Lucy's back in Phoenix with a broken engagement and a serious case of emotional whiplash. Returning to Mag's, she's bracing for awkward feelings for Jack and determined not to fall for him all over again. Jack, however, has a new game plan: break every rule he once clung to and convince Lucy that what they have is worth the risk. But with the past still looming and their friendship on the line, can he prove he's not the same guy she left behind? Told from both perspectives, Jack & Lucy is a slow-burn romance about second chances, mixed signals, and the undeniable spark that never really goes out.
