Three holiday love stories, one irresistible dose of Christmas magic. In this charming collection of three romantic novellas, Abby Jimenez brings together old flames, unexpected connections, festive mishaps, and the kind of holiday moments that make falling in love feel a little more magical.

The Vibe

In the first story, Anna's carefully planned Christmas dinner goes spectacularly wrong when her high school ex arrives, leading the two to cook up an unexpected fake-dating scheme to save face with their families. Expect awkward family gatherings, holiday chaos, and plenty of unresolved chemistry.

The second story follows Matty, who finds himself spending the day dressed as a zombie Santa after losing a bet. His reluctant holiday shift takes a much more interesting turn when he meets a cute, funny diner server who makes the whole situation considerably more enjoyable.

The final story brings Lauren to the charming town of Little Christmas, where her best friend is determined to prove that a three-day relationship cannot possibly lead to marriage. But with a charming best man, holiday traditions, and a little small-town magic in the mix, Lauren may discover that love does not always follow the rules.

Warm, funny, romantic, and wonderfully festive, A Married Little Christmas is perfect for readers who want bite-sized holiday romances filled with big feelings, cozy traditions, hilarious mishaps, and happily-ever-after possibilities.
