Hiding From Christmas

She came to Mexico to hide from Christmas. She didn't expect to find someone hiding from everything else.

Elle has spent thirty-four years being the awkward one — the bookish librarian who trips over her own feet and gets left behind. When her fiancé dumps her for being too tame, too vanilla, too safe, she flees to her eccentric aunt's remote Mexican village rather than face her family's sympathy. She isn't looking for adventure. She especially isn't looking for José.

José hasn't spoken to a stranger in seven years. Built like a fortress and just as guarded, he's buried himself in a remote jungle compound far from the world that destroyed him — and from the cartel boss who still sends him a cruel reminder every Christmas of the family he lost. He wasn't expecting a clumsy, beautiful, bewildering blonde to literally fall into his life three days before the holiday he's spent years trying to forget.

Now she can't leave. And he can't let himself want her to stay.

Steamy, funny and surprisingly moving — a Christmas romance unlike any other, set against the breathtaking beauty of the Mexican coast.
