Christmas for Commitmentphobes

At Christmas time, the last thing you need is more commitments.

Lara is so busy trying to get her fledgling software company off the ground that she's up in Yorkshire, pitching for business, just before Christmas. When bad weather sees the trains cancelled, the only place she can find shelter is a small pub called the Trewton Arms.

Thilini ('Tilly') loves that her art helps feed her travel addiction. She's back in England for Christmas after two years away and can't wait to be on the move again.

When they meet their attraction is hard to deny. But what happens when the trains are running again and they have to go their separate ways?

Christmas for Commitmentphobes is a standalone novella in the Trewton Royd small town romance series. If you like closed door romances, with feisty heroines and realistic dialogue, you'll love Christmas for Commitmentphobes. Ideal for fans of Lucy Parker or Jackie Lau.

Rhoda Baxter writes contemporary romances with heart and a touch of cynicism. She also writes as Jeevani Charika. Her books have been shortlisted for awards such as the RoNA Romantic Comedy of the Year, The Love Stories Award and the Joan Hessayon ward. Rhoda started off as a microbiologist and then drifted out of research and into technology transfer. When choosing a penname, she was hit by a fit of nostalgia and named herself after the bacterium she studied during her PhD. She has lived in a variety of places including Sri Lanka, Yap (it's a real place), Halifax, Oxford and Didcot (also a real place). She now lives with her young family in East Yorkshire, where there are enough tea shops to keep her happy. You can find her wittering on about cake and science and other random things on her website (http: //www.rhodabaxter.com), on Facebook, or on Twitter (@rhodabaxter).
