a Merry little meet cute
A USA TOdaY bestseller and an indie next pick (twice)!
“Very flirty, a little dirty, and very, very funny...”
When Bee Hobbes takes the lead in a squeaky-clean romantic Christmas movie, there are only three rules:
1. Don’t get involved with anyone on set.
2. Don’t tell anyone what you do for a living.
3. Definitely don’t get involved with anyone on set.
3b. Seriously.
Now, she’s filming in Christmas Notch, a small town with Christmas trees and festive tunes all year round.
But Bee’s got a secret identity to hide, and it’s not family-friendly. And her co-star, Nolan Shaw, an ex-boyband member infamous for his own x-rated antics, not only knows it, but is secretly her biggest fan.
When things start to heat up on set, Bee and Nolan must keep this steamy affair under wraps, or risk ruining everything . . .
“A sexy holiday romp that’s the perfect combination of naughty and nice.”

A Not-So-Silent Night:
After Julie Murphy and I wrote A Merry Little Meet Cute, we realized we left something on the table—or several somethings, actually.
And so, if you, like us, wanted to see Bee and Nolan delve into Bee’s suitcase collection of toys, then you may enjoy the battery-operated delights herein!
(Plus there is some swoony, get-down-on-one-knee stuff, because we couldn’t resist.)
