(2024)(The eighth book in the Holiday Hearts series)
A Novella by Lesley Ann McDaniel
Christmas is a time for family, but Ainsley Bouvierwould rather avoid hers.
Ainsley feels right at home in her career as a fashion designer.Her success has afforded her adream house overlooking Seattle’s Lake Washington,although she’s usually too busy working to enjoy it. She’d love nothing more than to spend Christmas there, sitting around in her jammies, watching Christmas movies. If only her parents, who expect her to visit them for Christmas, weren’t so critical of her career, she’d be more enthusiastic about spending the holiday with them. When her trip home is delayed because of a photo shoot she’s providing the wardrobe for, she’s relieved. The shorter the stay with her parents, the more condensed the unpleasantness for all of them.
Actor Alec Hart can’t wait for Christmas. Not so much the holiday as the time away from his role on a Seattle-based TV show, and the opportunity to escape alone to his island sanctuary. When his break is delayed due to a scheduling issue with a photo shoot, he’s persuaded to allow the cast of his show to do the shoot at his vacation retreat.While he’s hesitant to invite his coworkers into his private world, there’s something about the lovely fashion designer who’s providing the wardrobe that makes him rethink his loner lifestyle.But just as they’re completing the shoot, a sudden snowstorm hits, leaving them all trapped on his island just days before Christmas. Will they be able to make the best of this unexpected situation?
