When my Christmas plans go up in flames the last thing I expect is Luke Covey to sweep in and save the day. Spending the holiday with him and his mom might make this my favorite Christmas I’ve ever had.

Too bad for me there’s one unexpected gift that’s going to last long past the holiday season, because ready or not Luke and I are going to be parents.

(This is a 20k+ word novella that will lead into Bertie and Luke’s full-length novel. It’s not necessary to read this before reading their novel but it is highly recommended)

Bertie is alone for Christmas and Luke doesn’t agree with that. Luke makes her feel welcome inviting her to spend Christmas with him instead of alone. They have a one-night stand, but it was never more, Luke told Bertie that he wanted more but she wasn’t ready. I felt for Berdie my heart ached for her, I just wanted to hug her. Luke is the sweetest golden retriever ever. His mom is also such a wonderful support. If Berdie didn’t fall in love with him, I sure did. With this being a novella and you have it end the way that you did with this one. I’m eager to read their full story.
