Vermont Christmas

Can she save Christmas with hot chocolate and s'mores...?


Cherie West’s Christmas plans included snow, a romantic mountain ski chalet, and a giant white diamond on her waiting third finger. Instead, she got a cheating boyfriend, a solo vacation, and new plans to drown her sorrows all festive season.


That holiday in Vermont couldn’t come fast enough. She called all her friends, but a trip to the USA at Christmas was way outside their budgets. She’d paid, though, and it was non-refundable.


Now Cherie is alone and looking for adventure on the most meaningful holiday of the year.


After three seasons in Vermont, Brant Bryant has learned an important fact. City slicker couples who come up the mountain with no idea how to manage, make his caretaker’s life hell. His newest couple is no exception. Who doesn’t know how to start a fire?


When events strand his right-hand man, it’s up to Brant to make the one-mile trek to the chalet next door. You’d think the drive there and back would be simple, right? By the time he arrives, the blizzard of the century threatens. By the time he’s ready to leave, there is no leaving. No one with his deep fear of falling off the mountain would risk it.


To complicate matters, his city slicker couple is just one well-padded woman. As the fire warms the room, her layers peel away. They talk. She flirts. He warms to her. When she presents her version of hot chocolate, he’s lost.


They only have to survive one night together. How bad could it be?
