Cole For Christmas (Paperback or Softback)

They can't say no to the mistletoe!

Easy going event coordinator Katy Costa is called in to sub for her perfectionist sister at a Christmas Eve wedding in Portland, Maine. Nice guy chef Cole St. Onge takes over from his temperamental boss for the same event.

The problem? Each thinks the other is their prickly counterpart and anticipate fireworks when they meet. But it's the sparks that fly between them that's unexpected—and unwelcome. Katy's skittish after a bad breakup; left at the altar, Cole's nowhere near ready for new romance. They both vow to do their job and stay out of each other's way.

That plan goes awry as troubles mount. A sudden nor'easter snowstorm blows in, forcing guests to stay home. Mix in a stressed-out bride, an accident-prone groom, a power outage, Katy's deejay ex making trouble, a matchmaking grandma, and lots and lots of mistletoe, and what's supposed to be a magical holiday affair fast becomes a Christmas disaster.

Forced to team up to put out the many fires, the blaze between Cole and Katy burns brighter as the evening wears on. Can they ignore their growing attraction and keep their relationship strictly professional? Or will they give in to the mistletoe and say I do to a Christmas kiss that promises more to come in the new year?

If you love a sweet and funny Christmas romance with a dash of mistaken identity, then this delicious holiday treat is for you!
