The Christmas Scoop
Ivy Macpherson grew up in a family famous for the most embarrassing Christmas tradition of all—fruitcake—so she’s become a bit of a Grinch. Her body may be headed to Dogwood Mountain, North Carolina, to celebrate the holidays with family, but her mind is on moving up the ladder at the online lifestyle brand Scoop.
When Ivy’s chance encounter with an A-list actor reveals he’s headed to her hometown, she knows that scoop is the key to her big break. Earning a promotion should be a piece of cake—but chasing her story puts her face-to-face with the sinfully handsome Rand Cooper, her main high school competition and perennial thorn in her side.
Rand always had a thing for Ivy, but she’s a tough nut to crack. Family and friends hope their flirtation will grow into something more. But will Ivy’s focus on the job of her dreams cost her the man who could help her build a real future?

What he doesn’t have much of is privacy, thanks to a recent and ugly public dumping by his supermodel girlfriend.

Soon Janine is ensconced in her sister’s apartment and trying out a life she never imagined. But Janine’s not the only person rewriting a story. Shel’s enjoying his new role as “Sheldon,” the jazz pianist in the lobby, someone you wouldn’t look at twice. The faces they’ve created may be fake, but the fireworks between them are all too real.
