He needs a fake girlfriend for Christmas. She needs a fresh start. Neither planned on making it real.
With his new luxury resort preparing for its holiday opening, Caleb Sterling already has enough on his plate. Between opening the Grand Redwood Hotel and owning the Jasper Ridge Jaguars professional hockey team, romance isn’t exactly a priority. But one panicked lie to his mother leaves him needing a girlfriend for Christmas—fast.
Emma Sullivan came to the Grand Redwood for a fresh start and the chance to build its concierge department from the ground up. Making the impossible happen is her specialty, so when Caleb needs a temporary partner, she volunteers.
Three weeks. A holiday gala. One family Christmas. And absolutely no falling in love.
Easy, right?
Except between opening-week chaos and a fake relationship that keeps blurring the lines, Emma discovers the warmhearted man behind Caleb’s guarded exterior. And suddenly, their three-week expiration date is approaching far too quickly.
What happens when pretending to be a couple starts feeling a little too real?
Checking Inn Twice is a sweet, closed-door Christmas rom-com featuring fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, workplace romance, holiday magic, and no third-act breakup. Can be read as a standalone!
