The Detective's Secret Santa: Christmas in Alpine Valley, #7

By Kali Hart

The Detective's Secret Santa: Christmas in Alpine Valley Book 7
An Age-Gap Dad's Best Friend Holiday Romance

 

This Christmas, follow four neighbors turned friends to find out whether Santa will finally give them the gift they've been wanting most of all: true love.

 

Brooklyn

 

It's been three years since I've seen my late father's best friend, Sebastian Fraser.

I blamed the undeniable attraction on grief and kept my hands to myself.

I thought I'd never see him again.

But when I draw his name for the local Secret Santa event, I'm shocked to find out he's in town visiting.

What's worse?

Mom invites him to stay at the house and insists on including him in all our Christmas plans.

It would be so wrong to give in to what I'm feeling—what we both are clearly feeling.

But maybe Santa's a bigger fan of the naughty list than he lets on.

 

Bash

 

On his death bed, my best friend asked me to look after his daughter.

For three years, I've kept my promise while staying out of sight.

When she gets fired from her job in Houston—I had to get her away from that sleezy boss—and moves back to her hometown, I follow.

The chemistry between us is undeniable.

But sleeping with my best friend's daughter?

Surely that'll earn me a one-way ticket straight to hell.

So why can't I seem to keep my hands off her?

The longer I'm in town, the more I realize what I feel for Brook goes far beyond lust.

She's the one.

And this Christmas, I'm going to risk being haunted by my late best friend and claim her for myself.

Come to Alpine Valley this Christmas and follow four neighbors turned friends as a free month of rent incentivizes them to participate in the second annual Secret Santa event. Leading them all to the true love they never thought they'd find. These books are sweet and steamy short instalove romances with older heroes and younger curvy woman. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating. Guaranteed HEA.
