About this ebook

Three steam-up-your-holiday reads featuring a single mom Cinderella, two sworn enemies catching a streaking Santa (and the love bug), and a Scroogy cowgirl who gets a second chance with the one who got away. 

MILF ON THE SHELF

Single mom, Maggie, has given up on love. And dating. And hope that she’ll meet a man who isn’t better left on the shelf.

That is, until her socialite nemesis swears Maggie couldn’t get a date to the Christmas Ball if her life depended on it…

Scrambling to find a plus one, Maggie calls in a favor from her childhood friend, Penny. The one who works for a male escort service…

UP TO SNOW GOOD

The only thing worse than a streaking Santa dashing naked through my Christmas tree farm? 

Answer: Lawrence Beverly, the insufferable Brit who opened a competing farm down the lane, finding out about it.

I loathe Lawrence like cocktail sauce in my cocoa, and there’s no way I’m letting him use Mr. Jingle Balls against me. Luckily, I have a foolproof plan to take care of my Santa problem. Or so I think, until it goes hideously awry and Lawrence sweeps in to save the day.

Now we’re making out in front of my fireplace and he’s saying all the right things, but can I trust this man with my heart? 

Or is he still up to snow good?

THE TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS

It’s the time of year for miracles…Once upon a time, Lula and Carter were inseparable. But when their romance faltered, the holiday lights went out in Lula’s heart. 

She gave up on love and embraced a hermit’s existence, until Carter pops back up in Lonesome Point, begging for a second chance…

She gives him twelve days—and twelve dates—to make his case before she sends him packing.

Soon, however, not even Lula Scrooge can deny she and Carter go together like cocoa and cookies. But when her old fears are reawakened, it may take a holiday miracle to keep them together.

Three fun holiday stories by Lili Valente that will leave your smiling and swooning when you are finished.

You won’t be disappointed when you pick this up.

Hottie for the Holidays is a collection of Holiday novellas from the incomparable Lili Valente. In her usual style, each of these stories is filled with fun banter and holiday romance that will leave you smiling, swooning and completely content. Milf on the Shelf - When Maggie finds herself in need of a date to the charity event she simply can’t get out of, she reaches out to her sister, Penny, for help. When Coop shows up to accompany Maggie, the sparks they share immediately set their hearts ablaze, and it’s love at first sight for both Coop and Maggie. Their connection grows quickly as does their love. Milf on a Shelf is a whirlwind romance which blooms swiftly, melding Coop and Maggie’s heart together. Up to Snow Good is a second chance romance. A year ago, Lucy and Lawrence spent a magical night in each other’s arms. But when a misunderstanding arises the next day, their romance grinds to a halt. Now Lucy finds herself in a predicament and when Lawrence comes to her rescue, the sparks between them quickly reignite their passion. Will the passion they share be enough to keep them together? The Twelve Dates of Christmas - Eleven years ago, Lula’s heart was completely shattered by the only man she has ever loved. When Carter returns to Lonesome Pointe, he’s ready to repair the damage he caused and win back her heart. Lula reluctantly agrees to 12 dates while trying to keep the walls erected around her broken heart. But the sparks they share quickly reignites the passion they once shared. Will that be enough to repair the damage done so long ago giving Lula and Carter the second chance they both long for and the happily ever after they both deserve?

These stories are full of romance, emotion, and Christmas cheer. Even if, like me, you haven’t read any of the series they come from, you will still swoon over all three love stories.
