The Twelve Loves of Christmas is a swoon-worthy short story collection about finding love during the most magical time of the year.

Including a playful forced proximity romance featuring a woman and her older brother's grinchy (yet unexpectedly endearing) best friend, a tender love story of two neighbors who decide to skip Christmas together, a second-chance spark reignited between exes stranded at the airport, and many more festive love stories, there's a little holiday magic waiting for every reader.

Open one sealed story each day in the lead-up to Christmas to unwrap a season full of love, warmth, and happily-ever-afters.
