Baby, It's Cold Outside: A Christmas Novella

When being snowed in is the best Christmas gift of all.

Krissy

I love everything about Christmas. From my jingle bell earrings to my handmade ornament business, everything in my life revolves around my favourite holiday. That's why when the latest man I've been talking with online suggests me have our first date on Christmas Eve, I knew it was meant to be.

That is, until he didn't show.

Now I'm snowed in with Whiskey Falls' hottest new bar owner. I try to salvage the night by decorating his bar with the meagre decorations left in the bar's storage room while getting to know the man that might as well grumble 'Bah Humbug' with every sentence.

I expected a quiet Christmas Eve at the Lucky Dog Pub, but instead I have a bubbly blonde decked in head-to-toe Christmas burst through my doors. Snowed in and nowhere to go, I'm not about to let this beautiful stranger take her chances on the ice-covered streets.

Little did I know, letting her into my bar turned into the softening of my hardened heart, something I haven't been able to do in a long time. With the Christmas magic fading and the snow melting, I have to decide if I'm able to open myself to Krissy, or if I want to continue with my solitary life.
