Allison Stuart is the official black sheep of her overachieving family. While her sisters are busy saving lives and winning court cases, she’s perfectly content slinging pancakes in ripped jeans at her Pineville diner. But catering her best friend’s Christmas wedding has her suddenly craving a little wedded bliss of her own. Her new resolution? No more meaningless flings. Zero. Zilch. Done. Finito.
Enter Luke Moretti—hotshot celebrity chef hiding out from process servers who want to stuff his stockings with subpoenas. Pineville seems the perfect sleepy hideout… especially once he sweet-talks his way into Allison’s kitchen.
Now he’s rewriting her recipes, stealing her prep space, and giving her smoldering looks that make her “no-fling” vow feel as solid as a snowflake in July. She’s trying to keep it strictly professional. He’s trying to wrap her up in the kind of heat that has nothing to do with the oven.
Between meddling matchmaking family members, a ruthless hunt for the year’s most elusive “It” toy, and enough sparks to light up the whole Christmas tree, Allison’s perfect plan is about to go up in flames.
But some chemistry is too spicy to ignore…and some guys are worth breaking every rule for.
All Wrapped Up is a laugh-out-loud holiday rom-com packed with small-town Christmas cheer, kitchen heat, and opposites-attract banter. Perfect for fans of forced proximity, workplace romance, holiday weddings, and the kind of mistletoe magic you never saw coming.
Author's Note: All of my books are 100% written by human quasi-intelligence. Never AI.

Allyson Charles lives in Colorado. She’s the author of sexy and funny small-town romances, including the Pineville Romance series and The Forever series. A former attorney, she happily ditched those suits and now works in her pajamas writing about men’s briefs instead of legal briefs. When she’s not writing, she’s probably engaged in one of her favorite hobbies: napping, eating, or martial arts (That last one almost makes up for the first two, right?). One of Allyson’s greatest sources of happiness is that she now lives in a city that has a Cracker Barrel.
Allyson Charles also writes steamy historical romances under the name Alyson Chase, and paranormal romances under the name A. Caprice.
