POV
First person, heroine only.
Tone
Festive, flirty and a little sexy.
Author Note
Sometimes it breaks my heart a little that the sales for this one are so seasonal (understandable, for an unabashed Christmas story!) because I truly believe it’s some of my best work.
The quirky set-up, the characters, the banter, the aching longing … if I could only pick one of my books to be made into a movie, this would be it.
When I published this book 10 years ago, Hallmark movies were really the only Christmas romances you could find, and I love them, but I always wanted something just a bit more sarcastic and steamier. So I wrote one!
This is that book.
A Holiday Romance
“Charming, witty, and sexy—An Ex for Christmas was so easy to devour! It had everything you want in a holiday read including a hunky best friend and quite a few tumultuous mistletoe scenes. Honestly, who knew mistletoe could be so hot?!”

A Little Excerpt
“Is it true that guys think women in elf costumes are hot?”
He gives me an incredulous look. “What?”
“You know,” I say, gesturing at midthigh. “Striped socks? Short green skirt? Cute little hat?”
He shakes his head. “Times like this, I deserve an award for having a female best friend.”
“It’s not like I asked you to take me shopping for the outfit. I’m just saying if I volunteered to dress up like an elf at the annual Christmas parade, would that be hot?”
“Quit being weird.”
“That’s not an answer.”
on Book Covers
I’ve made the unusual decision not to show the official book covers on my official author website for a variety of reasons:
Most of my books have multiple cover versions depending on language/country; the US English version is only one of many.
Several of my cover designs were spot-on when they released, but are now quite dated even though the love stories within are timeless.
I have an unwavering love for neutral colors, and elegantly minimalist design. The current rom-com cover trend towards candy colored cartoons is not my jam.
My website is my chance to present my work my way.
