Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Tis the season for faking it… Kelsey Nichols thought she would have life figured out by the time she hit her forties, but now she is bordering on forty-five, her favourite freelance writing client is threatening to drop her, and her boyfriend just dumped her over text. Things aren’t working out as planned. But when the ferry she almost missed takes a roll, and she lands in the lap of uber sexy Nolan Ascot, everything changes. As a professional rock climber, Nolan has the connections to get Kelsey the interview she needs to rescue her writing career and ensure her rent gets paid. It is perfect. Except there is a catch. She needs to agree to be his fake date for the Christmas holidays with his family in the remote village of Christmas Cove. And there is a bigger problem… Nolan isn’t a stranger. He is her sister’s ex. And Kelsey might still have a secret crush on him. Logically, she should stay far away. But she really needs this interview, so she agrees to his plan before she can think it through. But when her sister freaks out about Nolan, Kelsey panics. She can’t spend the holidays alone with him. He might be off limits—and with her curves, she isn’t his type anyway—but her heart isn’t getting the message, and the things she is feeling are anything but fake. The solution? Convince her best friends that a girlfriends’ holiday getaway in Christmas Cove is exactly what they need this year, leaving out a few key details—like the whole fake girlfriend to her sister’s ex thing. She can break that to them later. What could go wrong? Margaritas & Mistletoe is a Canadian holiday romance featuring a middle-aged hot mess, her sister’s rock-climbing ex, and a fake romance. It stands alone but is best enjoyed within the ‘Tis the Season for Love Series. If you love great friendships, men who are as sweet as they are sexy, and a little bit of fun with your angst… don’t miss out on finding midlife love because romance isn’t just for twenty-somethings.

And when her ex-husband invites her for lunch at the restaurant where he proposed, it can only mean one thing: he has realized his mistake and wants her back. She is more than willing to have him. Instead, he announces he is marrying her younger and sexier neighbour. Next Week! Which would be devastating enough, but the honeymoon is in Mexico during the holidays, and he is taking their son. On the verge of spending Christmas alone, she agrees to a girlfriends' getaway in the remote seaside village of Christmas Cove. Without her family and heartbroken over her ex-husband’s impending nuptials, Ruby is relieved to find the rented cabin is perched on a cliff far enough from the overtly Christmassy vibe of Christmas Cove to let her forget what season it is. It is perfect, except for Simon Ascot staying at the cabin next door with the habit of turning up whenever she is at her hot mess best. But when Simon turns out to be just as sweet as he is gorgeous, Ruby finds herself on the brink of a holiday romance. That is until the arrival of a pregnant ex threatens everything.
