A Festive Treat // Friends Don't Fall in Love — Serenity Woods

A poignant yet sexy romance.

Skye Graham has come home for Christmas to Doubtless Bay in New Zealand after a five-year absence following the death of her brother. It's good to be back, but she has no plans to stay.

Then she meets sexy Owen Hall. A dog handler for Search and Rescue, he's setting up a new branch in the Far North. Owen became an expert on finding lost people after his little sister disappeared in a forest and died when he was young, but he's not sure even he can help the beautiful but haunted Skye.

A quick fling soon develops into something more serious, and another missing child brings them closer together. But can Owen convince Skye to stay?

Warning: Mozart the chocolate Lab steals the story. Oh, and it's not only the weather that's hot and sultry. Adults only.
