Get Christmas Rekindled from your favorite online bookstoreThis first book in the Bangers Tavern series is one of my all-time favorites, and one I reread when I get homesick for Tacoma, Washington. Want a peek?
When two Scrooges collide under the mistletoe, their kiss blazes too hot to handle.
Stuck with her cranky, injured dad over the holidays, all Charlie wants for Christmas is a break. A temporary job at Bangers Tavern is the perfect way to let off steam and escape Dad’s criticism. But why does the hunky bartender hate her on sight?
River’s holiday wish: avoid his matchmaking mother, ride out his grief, and flee the holiday fuss. Bangers Tavern is his refuge until sassy, snarky Charlie sashays in, just as smoking hot as when they first met. And she doesn’t even remember him. Ouch.
A fake date or two should get their interfering families off their backs. No big deal, right? But shared holiday celebrations stir up messy feelings and irresistible desire. When greedy developers come gunning for the bar they both love, River and Charlie must team up to save it.
Come to Bangers Tavern for an enemies to lovers tale of reconciliation, found family, holiday shenanigans, and the steamiest Christmas miracle ever.
To say bartender River and server Charlie don’t hit it off well is a huuuuge understatement. Here’s River hoping for a mistletoe kiss from his sexy nemesis.
Passing with a keg of beer on a hand dolly, Eddie grunted and pointed up, grinning. Above the bar’s corner hung a clump of mistletoe, tied with a red ribbon.
River dropped his gaze to Charlie. Should he move in for that kiss he’d been fantasizing about since yesterday? Or wait for her to initiate?
She shrugged. “Can’t break tradition.” She took a step toward him. His heart double-timed in his chest. His vision went all soft and blurry. Nearer still…
She pivoted, grabbed Eddie’s jaw with both hands, and planted a loud smooch on his mouth. “Mwah. Merry Christmas, Eddie.”
The barback stumbled and nearly fell on his bony ass.
River didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Cursing softly under his breath, he trudged toward the bar. I push her father all the way down Sixth Ave, and she kisses Eddie?
A soft hand grasped his bicep. “C’mon, River. Don’t be mad.”
He turned, and she stepped in close. Really close. Her fingertips rested on his chest. Huge dark eyes twinkled with mischief. “I had to pay Eddie back for being a troublemaker.”
He arched an eyebrow. “Kissing me is trouble?”
Her hand slid to his nape. “Probably. But, you know, tradition…”
Her heaven-soft lips brushed his, and the din around them faded away. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Her tongue might be sharp, but every inch of her was warm, soft, luscious. A low, hungry sound deep in her throat called his dick to full attention. She angled her head and kissed him again, long and lingering. But when he touched the corner of her mouth with the tip of his tongue, she sucked in a breath and pulled away. “See, told ya.” She tapped his sternum. “Trouble.”
