The Secret Santa Setup

Count Down to Christmas with 25 Sealed Chapters

Description

Count down to Christmas in 25 romantic, sealed chapters!

Sixteen-year-old Amanda Mathers has big plans for December: Work at the Matcha-Do About Coffee pop up at Post Christmas tree farm, convince her parents to let her travel abroad this summer, and pull off a Secret Santa with her friends.

What she doesn’t plan on is Luke Post. He looks hot carrying cut trees, but he gives Amanda the cold shoulder. When she pulls his name in Secret Santa she has no idea what to give him. But getting to know each other may turn out to be all they could ever want for Christmas.

Open one sealed chapter each day from December 1 until Christmas!


  • Enemies to Lovers: Luke likes things the way they always have been, and that does not include having Amanda at the farm. But Amanda isn’t going to let Luke’s bad attitude distract her from her goals.
  • Forced Proximity: Simmering tension threatens to bubble over with these two stuck sharing the same small farm stand.
  • Slow Burn: Their romance brews slowly, like cocoa on a cold winter’s night...
