Overly cautious and hopelessly single Julie Kendrick is finally getting over her one failed attempt at love. But now she has to join her serendipitously paired off siblings for their annual family Christmas gathering in Quebec City. Alone. Unless her mother has her way and manages to pair her off with a local who, to hear her tell it, could solve Julie's man drought. Desperate to avoid the family matchmaking game, Julie enlists her friend Christian Xie to help her run interference, but he only agrees on the condition that they tell their families they are dating. And with her options looking thinner than a cookie sheet, Julie sees no other choice but to settle into a routine with Christian. But just as she's ready to take the fake part out of dating Christian, her first and only love, Ronan Tremblay, comes waltzing back into her life. Torn between a residual love for both men, Julie tries to keep up appearances with her family while allowing Ronan a chance to redeem himself. But going from dating no one to juggling two men at once might prove to be more than Julie can handle. Especially with her family still trying to set her up with that local gentleman. ~*~ Featured in @romance 's Hot for the Holidays reading list: July, 2022 ~*~ This story is now complete!

Luke had always struggled with a sense of himself, fighting to reconcile feelings that threatened his relationships and his identity. After years of pushing those feelings deep down inside, and after losing his wife in a tragic accident, those feelings he thought consigned to the past begin to reemerge. When a night turns terrifying and traumatic, he is saved by the statuesque Helen, who recognises his struggle and supports Luke on a spiritual journey in search of his true self. But his search for meaning in the bittersweet emotions that are blossoming within threaten to destroy his friendships, his home life and his resolve to become the person he had always known himself to be. Or, rather, who she knew herself to be. A sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heart-lifting, sometimes harrowing and sometimes touching tale about accepting who you truly are. 🏵Wattys 2023 Shortlist🏵 🏵Featured by FreeTheLGBT - Diverse Literature - July 2023🏵 🏵Featured by Stories Undiscovered - Jan 2023🏵 🏵Featured by @WackyWriters - Undiscovered Gems Under 1k - Feb 2023🏵 🥉3rd Place - General Fiction Category -Pretty In Punk 'Punk Rock Awards' Apr 2023🥉 Cover created in Canva, using an AI generated picture.Complete
