Eerie Take

A warm, very explicit holiday romance with plenty of banter and a substantial emotional thread about grief and letting people in. A good fit for readers who want both playful chemistry and a hard-won happy ending.

Sunny Palmer came to Christmas Notch to finish a screenplay, not fall for the reclusive pop star whose mansion becomes her temporary home. Isaac Kelly has spent years grieving his wife and avoiding the world, but his irrepressible new roommate makes solitude much less appealing. Their bargain—she helps him find inspiration, he helps her unravel a local Christmas legend—soon comes with benefits neither can keep casual. Between snowy adventures, creative deadlines and old family wounds, they must decide whether making room for love is worth risking another loss.
