Do you love steamy holiday romance stories? Well then this anthology is for you! Each story is set in small town Aspen, and focuses on a different couple. I really loved these stories, and it is the perfect book for this time of the year!

The first story is a story of second chance, focusing on Cami and West as they are stuck in a cabin for Christmas after not seeing each other for fifteen years.

In the second story, Valerie is heartbroken after finding out her fiancé is cheating on her. When her devastatingly charming boss Jaime invites her to his cabin in Aspen for Christmas in order to help her heal, she knows it’s probably a bad idea, yet she isn’t able to resist.

The third story is an enemies to lovers romance featuring Nashton and Julia. Julia has always hated Nashton, her older brother’s annoying best friend, who always knows exactly how to get under her skin. Nashton himself has never been able to get Jules out of his head, and when he comes to stay with the siblings one Christmas season, sparks fly.

In the fourth story, Ty and Virginia meet in a bar after not seeing each other since high school. After talking for a while, they end up in bed, where they both confess that they had a crush on each other in high school. After what was supposed to be a one night stand, both are left reeling. Can they allow themselves to be happy?

In the final story, Tucker hires Evin, who works as an escort to pay for her dying father’s medical bills, to spend Christmas weekend with him. Little does Evin know, however, that Tucker chose her for reasons of his own. Can these two find happiness?
