Deck My Halls by Ariana St. Claire

Getting away from life for the Holidays is just what the doctor ordered. Visiting my Nana in Love Canyon and escaping from the craziness of my life in Chicago isn’t at all about the fact that my life is falling apart. Nope. Or the fact that my boyfriend had a different definition of monogamy than I did. Like, the kind that included his ex-wife, the neighbor, and his assistant. Just the desert, my Nana’s favorite wine, and the hustle and bustle of Christmas. No men. Even if I like things a little on the wild side.

Maybe a few weeks away from work and away from the girl I’ve had a crush on since I was ten will get my head straight before the season starts. Because my best friend is the guy she’s with now, and seeing them happy is slowly killing me. But I love that they’ve found each other. I just can’t be forced to see it every day for a little while. Christmas in Love Canyon is just what I need. No complications, nobody falling in love, and nothing to remind me of what I missed out on.

Deck My Halls is a part of the Naughty Christmas in July shared world.
