Holidates and Handcuffs: A Kismet Publishing Christmas Duo
Two festive romances connected through one unforgettable family business—Kismet Publishing—where love is always on deadline, and the holidays have a way of delivering surprises wrapped in romance… and sometimes pink handcuffs.
Includes:
His Fake Holidate
Wes Calvin is out of time—and out of options. He needs a date, a fake girlfriend for the company Christmas party. One night, just long enough to keep his family off his back for the holidays. When he mentions his dilemma to his building manager—an eccentric, meddling sweetheart—she assures him she knows just the woman for the job.
Holly Monroe wants nothing to do with a spoiled trust-fund pretty boy. But after her building manager rescues her from spending Christmas homeless, she feels obligated to accept the ridiculous blind-date setup.
One night. One fake holidate. She’ll smile, sip some eggnog, and say Feliz Navidad on her way out.
But then Wes shows up at her door. Holy Christmas.
Suddenly, she can’t hear a word he’s saying over the sound of—wait, are those angels singing?
Maybe this fake date isn’t going to be so fake after all…
Cuffed for Christmas
He’s the one.
I knew it from the moment we collided—literally—sending my morning coffee (and my sanity) flying. The connection was instant, startling, and impossible to ignore… even for a realist like me.
I never expected to see him again. But fate had other plans.
When the office Secret Santa exchange rolls around, I find out my mystery gift-giver is none other than him. And let’s just say the fluffy pink handcuffs he leaves me are… an eye-opening surprise.
But when the flirting turns scorching, he disappears.
Now our only connection is through screens—messages filled with tension, chemistry, and too many fantasies for someone I barely know. Our long-distance spark shouldn’t work, yet somehow it does.
But can a romance born online survive the jump into real life? Or will this Christmas fling fade into nothing more than a tempting memory?
A playful, steamy holiday romance full of charm, chemistry, and unexpected connection.
Author’s Note: The stories in this collection were previously published as individual titles and are still available through all major retailers. Holidates & Handcuffs is a special edition assembled to bring two connected Kismet Publishing romances together for the festive season.
