Luna Bliss considers herself to be one of the best magazine writers in New York. At least that's what she thought. 

When she's given a chance to unleash her potential and put herself on the map for Magenta Magazine, she can't refuse. Not only because she wants to be recognized, but because her company is losing money...and fast. 

Her boss gives her an assignment to travel to Comet, Alaska and to write a story about the true meaning or Christmas. Only one problem: Luna absolutely despises Christmas. 

However, that's not the only catch. Her boss assigns Luna a competitor, and the person with the best story gets a promotion and a chance to be in the limelight. The other? Well, they get fired from the magazine. 

Will Luna succeed and finally be recognized? Or will her emotions about Christmas cloud her judgement and allow her competitor to be the victor?

Christmas with Nick Klaas oleh rskovach

[2021 WATTYS Shortlist] When the heir to Christmas falls for a girl who hates the holiday, he risks losing his birthright to a trickster cousin unless he can melt her bah-humbug heart. * * * With his pet reindeer, grumpy gnome friends, and perpetual Yuletide cheer, Nick is the most eligible bachelor in the Arctic Circle. He's also the envy of his cousin Piet, who wants nothing more than to destroy the holiday forever. And how better to poison the heart of the most festive man in the reach of the aurora borealis than getting him to fall in love with woman who hates Christmas more than anyone else in the world? Noelle Nixon is "one of those" people. Everyone knows one: someone who lives for sun, surf, and palm trees, someone who'd rather be in perpetual vacation mode, and someone who'd gladly skip from Halloween directly to Easter rather than having to deal with the gloom, stress, and forced cheer of the "holiday season." When magical scheming during the winter equinox between a vengeful Black Buck and a clever Frost Fairy forces this New York City violinist to travel across the North Atlantic for a private holiday concert, the pure, unsuspecting Nick will risk losing his claim on Christmas in favor of his heart unless Noelle's one flaw is a deal breaker to what would otherwise be a perfect match.

Secret Santa ✔️ oleh idielopez

"You had no right to do that," I snap, trying my best to out walk him. His chuckle was loud behind me and his hand griped on my forearm, stopping me. Something about his warmth gave me chills all over my body. Something I don't think I ever wanted in the first place. Especially from him and especially now. "Yes I did, and I still do." His hard grip around my arm loosened, and snaked up to lock his fingers through my hair. Oh Momma, what is happening? Being this close to him has been happening way too often for normal. Still, I couldn't break away from this close contact, I was frozen, shocked. "What makes you think that?" My question hit him with humor, and instead of fully responding, he leans his face closer to mine. The smirk on his face stayed once he noticed the affect he had on me. "Because," he whispers out pressing our bodies together. "I'm your Secret Santa," he licks his lips as if he's hungry, then continues, "I can give you anything I want to give you." His free arm wraps around my waist, and he lifts me up during the action before pressing our lips together. The main character is Kimberly. She's an accident prone person who wants nothing but to enjoy her winter. Her friends want the best for her after a terrible break up they witnessed. Every year they all hold the traditional Secret Santa. Somebody from the group believes that they are what Kimberly needs. This is about Kimberly and her crazy winter story about her not so Secret Santa.

HONESTLY oleh sunnybirch

Bound To You oleh iWearGlasses2

"I'm sorry Luna," I said, with the little bit of respect I could muster and slightly bowed my head. "But I can't simply forgive you. You're still thinking that I'm no good for your son. I want to be a part of your family and be happy with you guys and also make your son happy. But right now your thinking I'm just some whore that doesn't know how to properly love your son the way you love him." "Mother, what does she mean by your still thinking?" All I saw on Andre's face at that moment was the worry he felt for his mother. I knew his mother wasn't like this. I didn't know her personally since I haven't been around for a long time but something was definitely wrong with the current Luna. "I'm sorry son but I just can't come to terms with what has happened. I need a bit of time to process." "Does 90 minutes cover the time you need dear?" the alpha said. He had a worried expression on his face too. What did he mean by 90 minutes? Did something happen when I was in that dream? Follow the life of Katalina Regina as she starts her journey on finding out her true power, her true potential and maybe even her king. Will she find a way to surpass all the trials and errors in her way? Or will she fail miserably and die trying? Keep reading to find out!

I'm human too so I am bound to make mistakes, so please excuse those. I'm writing for the fun of it so please don't critique too hard and leave the NEGATIVE VIBES OUT!! only GOOD VIBES here.

The Christmas Chalet | ✓ oleh JessaKaina

Sophia Reymont's fondest memories are of her home, The Reymont Chalet, affectionately known as The Christmas Chalet. Since studying and finding a job in New York City, she's been spending her vacation time climbing the corporate ladder at a marketing agency. When her Aunt Greta calls asking for her help to keep the chalet from being sold, she jumps at the opportunity she's been waiting for-a chance to market something she believes in. Alexander Cavanagh has a successful business in Seattle as a real estate investor. He buys low-valued properties, converting them into his clients' dream offices and homes. He spots his next project quickly, and at a bargain, a cozy chalet in a tourist town in need of renovation. On an instinct, he takes a chance to move cross-country to the small town that can't help but draw him in, secondary only to the people he meets there. An unexpected and light romance brewing in the holiday atmosphere has both rethinking life, love, the meaning of home. [Cover Photo Credit]: Imad Clicks, Pexels A/N: Hello and thank you for checking out my cozy Christmas story! I've put a lot of love into this one but it's still my first draft. I'm hoping to go back and edit it one day. Still, it's always been about the characters for me and I hope you love them as they are! :)
