Description

Eggnog in the Evergreens by Monique Brasher

They were never supposed to fall in love, let alone elope in Vegas. But love doesn’t pick sides.

Emma Watkins and Miles Decker grew up together, her family’s Christmas tree farm and his family’s ranch separated only by a row of trees that forms a boundary line between the two. As children of two feuding families in Sweetheart Springs, it’s always gone without saying that they’re supposed to stay away from one another. Until they disregarded the memo and fell in love anyway.

As the annual Sweetheart Games near, they both worry about keeping their secret marriage under wraps, especially while under the scrutiny of the whole town. As if marrying your almost enemy isn’t trouble enough, there’s a town legend to contend with.

In a season that’s supposed to be about finding your soulmate and celebrating Christmas, can they withstand the secrets and rise to the challenge?

Falling in love at the Sweetheart Games, Lena and Pete seek to make love work in a life that has them on two different paths.

When Lena gets paired up with childhood friend Braden for the annual Sweetheart Games, she can’t wait to tell him she’s in love with him. Deciding to let their chemistry and ability to work together open his eyes to the woman she is now, Lena is shocked when he decides to trade her for someone else.

Pete has wanted to be Lena’s since the day she walked into Sweetheart Springs Middle School. But between being a timid nerd, and best friends with the jock of the school, he was often overlooked. When Braden asks him to swap partners for the Sweetheart Games, it doesn’t sit well with him, but he agrees knowing he’ll finally get his chance with Lena.

By making the most of a bad situation, Lena and Pete commit to being one another’s partners, and wind up getting to know one another all over again. Before she knows it, Lena finds herself missing him when they return to college and he’s no longer near. But is it possible for them to find love and make it work in a life that has them on two different paths for the future?

A HFN story.

Being paired with your brother’s best friend and first love. Christmas magic in the air. What could go wrong?

Coming home for the holidays, all Ellie Johnson wanted to do was catch up with her best friends and family. For fun, the girls signed up for the Sweetheart Games in the Sweetheart Springs Christmas Kickoff. Little did she know, she’d be paired with her brother’s best friend, and the one man she could never get out of her head.

Tommy Donovan didn’t want anything to do with the Christmas Kickoff. Every year, he was able to work and forget it was happening, especially dodging the matchmaking events. This year, his mom had other plans.

Forced together under the stress of a town myth hanging above their heads, they must work together under the watchful eye of the town, while trying to come to terms with their feelings for one another.
