"You've never kissed anyone under the mistletoe then?" he asks, keeping his voice low.
There are literal sparks flying in the air between us right now- I knew I was attracted to him at the tree farm but now that I've gotten to actually know him a bit better, and now that he's standing so close to me, that attraction has seemed to intensify.
I give him a tight smile and shake my head.
"Well, I think it's probably bad luck to break tradition...."

My Billionaire Cowboy Under the Mistletoe
A handsome and mysterious cowboy might be the key to cheering up Sarah Delaney's Christmas blues. City girl Sarah Delaney hates Christmas and everything about it. It's not just about spending the holidays perpetually single, or the fact that her hometown, Mistletoe, Montana is aggressively Christmas-oriented. Christmas is a reminder that her mom died on the holiday when she was eight. So when her dad calls her and begs for her help on their family tree farm leading up to the holiday, Sarah reluctantly agrees to visit, hoping she can escape before the holiday. But Mistletoe is not like Sarah remembers. It seems like there might be something fishy happening to the local businesses, including her father's. And the people aren't like she remembers, either: her high school boyfriend, Luke, is more handsome than ever, and there's a mysterious and sexy new cowboy in town, Mac. Will Sarah make it out of Mistletoe with her heart intact-or will the Christmas spirit move her to love?

A Kiss Under The Kismet Tree
The letters had strangely stopped from my long-time American pen pal, until I got another letter to explain the sad reason why. Devastated to learn that Sara had tragically died, I could only mourn her untimely death and her faraway loss. Now, the long-distance letters have slowly began to arrive back through my door, just as they used to before. They are now coming from the brother of Sara...the one who first wrote to me about the truly sad passing of his sister. One word at a time, this man is beginning to intrigue me. One word at a time, he is making me want to read more from him. But Cary Dean lives in New England, and I live by the sea in Dorset. I can't let him intrigue me. I can't want to read more of his words. I'm Rosa Summers - a hopeless romantic who is totally hopeless with all things romantic, and yet, Cary Dean is managing to write his way deep into my heart, and with Christmas just around the corner, I can't let my silly heart run away with itself. Christmas is all about kindness and laughter. It's about sharing goodwill and spreading joy.... it's not about falling for someone I can't ever be with. But the magical spirit of Christmas... well, let's just say it has other ideas! A KISS UNDER THE KISMET TREE Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2018 K B MallionComplete
