    About this ebook

    Goodwill towards others has never felt better…

    Noelle Cameron won’t let being basically homeless in a new state dampen her Christmas spirit. Thanks to her coworker, she has a temporary housing possibility. However, her new potential roommate is about as welcoming as the Grinch. But Noelle refuses to let scowls and snide remarks about her festive attire steal her joy. Winning over the cranky Lennox will be a victory sweeter than sugar cookies.

    Lennox Sutton doesn’t want to live with anyone. Unfortunately, one well delivered guilt trip from her sister means taking in the woman wearing a reindeer headband and an attitude that goes past glass half full to it completely spilling over. Now she’s stuck with a person who embodies everything Lennox dislikes about the holiday season. But beneath the ugly sweaters shines someone whose company Lennox could enjoy.

    A meddling sister and a dash of Christmas magic might have these two polar opposites finding new ways to enjoy the season of giving.

    Editor's Note

    Grumpy/Sunshine Romance...

    The grumpy/sunshine pairing in “Being Merry” is extra fun when it comes wrapped in holiday garland.A woman who’s got boatloads of Christmas spirit ends up rooming with a woman who loathes all that holiday folderol. Of course, love happens — eventually — and there’s lots of snarky banter along the way.

      I’ve always been a bad lesbian.To be fair, I missed orientation. Athletic lesbians got inducted in high school. They didn’t think to collect the femmes in drama club, so I got left behind. It wasn’t until I saw a handsome black and white photo of k.d

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
