Cooking up Christmas by Jaycee Weaver

Chef Ramsey Dickenson is rescued from a hiking fail by drifter Bristol McInerny. Sparks fly instantly, but when she turns out to be his new seasonal hire, the pair agree to a platonic work relationship until her contract ends. When Ramsey enlists her help with a special Sinclair family dinner, they get caught up in the family’s holiday hijinks, and Bristol soon can’t help falling for the family, the town, and her boss. But their simmering romance sputters when surprising connections in their pasts reveal a link to Ramsey’s deepest betrayal. Oven mitts are off as Bristol strives to prove she’s ready for roots while Ramsey must deal with the past to save them both from heartbreak.

A Gold-Fashioned Christmas by Cathe Swanson

When all her friends were leaving for college and a life outside the dying town of Golden Valley, Montana, Sylvia Flynn stayed behind. She didn’t mind… much. Her grandmother needed her. Now, as the town’s go-to event planner, she’s pouring her heart into the new Gold Rush-themed conference center that’s supposed to breathe new life into the community.

Michael Bishop never expected to return to Golden Valley, but when a client places an order for 500 perfect Montana Christmas trees, he’s drawn back to his childhood home—and back to his childhood sweetheart. As the town rallies to save itself and holiday celebrations unfold, what will it take to overcome the past and embrace a second chance at love?

The Trees of New Cheltenham by Chautona Havig

Why is existence so expensive?

As the primary financial support for his mother and siblings, and he’s worn out. So an inheritance that means no more exorbitant rent prices promises instant relief. But the siblings are squabbling, his mother is worn out, and working two jobs might just crush him—or rather, he’s crushing on his new boss (but he’ll never admit it).

And having any kind of Christmas? Not likely.

So, when his little brother finds an abandoned Christmas tree farm at the back of their new property, hope swells. Maybe they can have a small Christmas after all—if the housing developer doesn’t convince his family to sell out. And if they sell out, how will he justify keeping his job? After all, they say to keep your enemies close and your crushes closer… right?
