Sloane Halliday has survived boardrooms, company takeovers, public transportation, and New York dating.

But nothing prepared her for Northstar Hollow. A Christmas-obsessed small town where the air smells like cinnamon, the locals won't stop singing, and everyone believes in "holiday miracles."

She's here for one week. The agenda is simple. 

Write an article on this obscure vacation spot, suddenly trying to appear on the map.

Ignore the carolers that seem to be following her every movement.

Find out if the gingerbread bakery is a hidden money laundering scheme. 

Have ASPCA locate and capture the possible rabid reindeer mascot. 

And absolutely DO NOT fall for the flannel-wearing himbo who looks like he was carved from peppermint-scented wood.

Just A Friend by Kadenereadaholic

"Do you know how hard it is for me knowing that you're with someone else?" Tyler asked, staring at me intensely. "You think this is easy for me?" I asked, trying to hold back my tears. "I didn't say it was -" he began, but I cut him off. "It's not. I have to go around hating myself. Hating myself for thinking about you. Hating myself for wanting you. I just want to stop feeling this way." I stepped closer to him as my voice shook with every word. "I want to forget about you, but I just--." The rest of my sentence was cut short as Tyler took the final step, closing the gap between us and brought his lips to mine. ~~~~~~~~ Tyler is back from college to find out that the girl who once held his heart has a new boyfriend.

Then, as if by fate, Gio walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap!

My life spiraled into chaos, but since my recent diagnosis, starting therapy, and the right medication, I've finally regained my balance. Then she drops back into my life out of nowhere, primed to fuck all that stability up, and I'm supposed to jump back in where we left off? I don't think so. I'd be foolish to risk it, right?

Broken Girls And Broken Boys by amberrosie05

C O M P L E T E D "Date me," he spins the whiskey around in the glass and fixes me with a smirk. I roll my eyes the moment the words roll off his tongue. "Are you really that desperate?" I scoff in response, fighting back the ever prominent blush. His smirk widens as my face flushes red and he leans over the countertop towards me. I step back. "Name your price," he replies, his words cool and smooth like ice cream. Only I would reference food at a moment like this. Anger rolls around in the pit of my stomach; I may not have money but I have morals. "You can't buy people, Grant," The words fall out of my mouth and he recoils as if slapped. I'm glad. Stupid rich boy and his player ways. "Bet I can," I resist the urge to slap the smug look of his face and scoff again. "Right," I drag out the word, rolling my eyes. I step away from the counter and turn my back on him, desperate to leave. But he speaks again. "Date me. Two months. If you fall for me for my money, I win. If I fall for you for who you really are, you win." I consider this for a moment. I have nothing to loose and really not much to gain. But I'm so desperate to put the asshole in his place that I can't resist. I'm a sucker for a bet. "Deal."
