Winter Wishlist(2025)

Elliott Rose

A librarian, a former pro rugby player, and a cowboy walk into a bar at Christmas…

What’s a girl to do when stuck at a mountain ranch for the holidays, unexpectedly flying solo? Festive activities don’t quite sound so jolly when my best friend isn’t able to make it at the last minute, and I can’t retreat home to stuff my nose in a book.

To make matters worse, that guy I’d been seeing? Yeah, he just proposed to his girlfriend of five minutes… and they’re getting cozy in the cabin next to mine.

One chance encounter in a bookstore sends a miracle drifting my way, with kind eyes and massive… hands. When he swoops in pretending to be my boyfriend, I should be saying no, yet find myself agreeing to a harmless little ruse for Christmas.

He’s taken, and I’m leaving town in a couple of days. No harm could come of it, right?

I didn’t expect it to be anything more than a bit of fun.

I certainly didn’t expect two men to open their home and their bed to me as part of this game.

Suddenly, a little merriment turns from fake to living out my every fantasy.

The last thing I intended on adding to my winter wishlist this year is these two men, who might do more than just make my wishes come true… they might just steal my heart in the process.


Winter Wishlist is a stand-alone holiday fake dating romance, filled with low-stakes, high-heat MMF swoon and spice.
