Josephine (Josie) Miller lives for Christmas, the lights, the carols, the cocoa-fueled chaos of it all. As Magnolia Springs’ holiday-obsessed librarian, she believes there’s no problem a little tinsel can’t fix… until a sudden snowstorm leaves her stranded in the mountains two weeks before Christmas.
Enter Weylan Frost, a reclusive, widowed, grumpy mountain hermit with eyes like glaciers and a voice that could freeze the sun. He’s everything Josie isn’t: cold, quiet, and definitely not interested in her gingerbread-level cheer. But when he rescues her from the blizzard and shelters her in his hidden cabin, sparks start to melt the ice between them.
What Josie doesn’t know is that Weylan isn’t entirely human. He’s the guardian of Magnolia Spring’s winter wardline, a Yeti shifter bound to protect the mountains from storms and worse. And when she crashes into his world, her warmth begins to tether him to the one thing he’s been losing year after year… his humanity.
Snowed in together, one grump and one sunshine find that sometimes love is the strongest magic of all. Because sometimes fate doesn’t just find you… It claims you.
Kissed on Christmas is a complete standalone. You don’t need to read the other books in the series to enjoy it, though fun cameos from other characters will pop up along the way.

After a career-ending injury, former U.S. Marshal Rhett Morgan retreats to a snowbound Colorado cabin to escape Christmas, people, and the ghosts of his past. All he wants is silence and solitude.

When commitment-allergic Knox Carey discovers an abandoned baby in a snowstorm in the middle of nowhere on a cold December night, he doesn’t think twice. He rescues the tiny girl and quickly realizes he needs help.
It’s a no-brainer to call Dr. Ramona Taylor—the closest thing to a hospital in Cowboy Point. Sure, they broke up. More than once. And she was clear on what she thought about his emotional constipation, but Knox bets that while she might want to set him on fire—and not in a fun way—the baby will inspire her to keep the lighter fluid at bay.
Not necessarily. Knox ripped out Romona’s heart. It’s as simple as that, but her medical training won’t allow her to do anything but help. Still, seeing the man she once loved enough to dream of forever with a baby in his arms? It kills her. Worse, she’s trapped with him during a raging snowstorm, living a dream version of the life she knows she can never have.
But it’s Christmas in Cowboy Point—maybe miracles might just happen after all…

A burned-out ranch. A ticking clock. And one cowboy who just might be her last chance—or her greatest heartbreak.
Stephanie Gilroy never expected to inherit Starling Hollow, especially not just days before Christmas. With the ranch in shambles and a ruthless developer circling like a vulture, she’s running out of time and options. The will is clear—sell by New Year’s Eve or forfeit everything.
