USA Today Bestselling author Melissa McClone has written over forty-five
novels.
With a degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University, she
worked for a major airline where she traveled the globe and met her
husband. But analyzing jet engine performance couldn't compete with her
love of writing happily ever afters.
Melissa lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, three children, a
spoiled Norwegian Elkhound, and cats who think they rule the house. They
do!
One beach cottage, two strangers, and a kiss under the mistletoe that
changes everything…
Sheridan DeMarco wants to be anywhere but home for the holidays. She’s
happy to spend Christmas house-sitting in South Carolina, far away from
her parents’ new blended families. Too bad when she arrives at the
charming beach cottage, she isn’t as blissfully alone as she planned.
Michael ""Mikey"" Patterson needs to stay out of sight until his
attorney gives him the all clear. He finds the perfect place in a small
coastal town, but there’s a problem. Mikey isn’t the only one staying at
the beach house, and his surprise roommate pushes all his buttons.
A sprig of mistletoe and one memorable kiss make Sheridan and Mikey
forget their plans to stay away from each other. But when family gets
in the way, will their happily ever after get tossed out along with
the discarded wrapping paper and tinsel?
Snippet:
He shook his head. “Nope.”
“Excuse me?”
“You’re not skipping Christmas.”
She didn’t understand how he knew that was what she wanted to do. Not
that it mattered. “I am.”
“No.” He leaned forward. “Your father took your job and your apartment.
Don’t let him take Christmas from you, too.”
As her jaw dropped, Michael’s words swirled in her head. Talk about a
lightbulb moment. “I never thought about it that way, but you’re
right.”
“I usually am.” With a satisfied grin, he ate a bite of his cinnamon
roll.
