ALL I WANT
Three Storie. Three Couples. One Holiday.
Pretty Near Perfect by Jolene Perry
The last thing Norah needs is to be attracted to anyone – especially in her deceased fiancé's parents' home. Collin’s starting a new career, and has no business getting involved – especially while staying with his roommate’s family, who very kindly offered to take him in for the holidays. Unfortunately, you just don’t always pick the most convenient time and place to fall for someone.
Six Days of Christmas by Kaylee Baldwin
When Natalie goes home with her best friend for Christmas, she expects plenty of quiet time to work on a winning ad so she can turn her dream internship into her dream job. Instead, she gets time-consuming Christmas festivities, a house full of children, and Jimmy, her best friend’s brother - someone who makes her question everything she’s always thought she wanted.
Twist of Fate by Rachael Anderson
When a postcard meant for Kenzie winds up in Ty's mailbox, Ty's faced with a decision. Should he tell her that her fiancé is breaking up with her and let it ruin her favorite holiday, or should he do what he’s wanted to do since he met her - make a move and hope that he can win her over before she discovers there won’t be a wedding after all.
from Six Days of Christmas by Kaylee Baldwin:
Natalie blinked away a strange dream, wondering what woke her. Jimmy’s room was dark and kind of cold. She shivered and pulled the quilt higher over her shoulders. Yawning, she closed her eyes again and tried to welcome sleep back.
“Hey, sexy.” A man’s deep voice murmured close to her ear, stopping Natalie’s heart. It jump started into rapid speed when she felt someone move beside her.
“Janessa!” she screamed as loud as she could. Scrambling like crazy, she kicked out of the covers. “Don’t touch me!” she yelled when he grabbed her arm, holding her in place. She moved back and forth, trying to break free, but stopped when she heard him laughing. She knew that laugh.
He held himself on his elbows above her, a wide smile stretched across his face.
"Hello, Natty."
Natalie tried to blink away the adrenaline still rushing through her body. “Jimmy?”
“Fancy meeting you here. In my bed.”
Natalie hit him in the chest once, and then again, harder. “You scared the crap out of me. Aren’t you supposed to be at your girlfriend’s house?”
“Plans changed. I thought you’d recognize me right away.”
“You look different.” Natalie suddenly realized that she was still touching his bare chest—which felt way tighter than it used to—and pulled her hands back to her stomach. “I hate you so much right now.”
Jimmy’s deep laugh shook his whole body. “I didn’t know you were going to be here for Christmas.”

Jolene Perry is an enigmatic figure. She is most often seen behind her laptop, staring at the words flying onto the screen with reckless abandon.
She survived growing up in rural Alaska, driving like a lunatic, and her husband’s careers in the military, as a perpetual student, and an Alaska State Prosecutor. She also survived as a middle school math teacher using her degree of Political Science and French.
One day Jolene was playing her guitar (probably some-thing juvenile for her kids) when she wondered what it would be like to write a song for a rockstar, and her first book was born. (that book is shelved)
She now lives a very glamorous life as a stay at home mom, elbow deep in dirty dishes and peanut butter sandwiches. She doesn’t even attempt to keep up with the laundry because non-writing time is precious, and her family is sorta awesome.

Rachael Anderson is the author of four contemporary romances: Divinely Designed, Luck of the Draw, Minor Adjustments, and The Reluctant Bachelorette. She's the mother of four, can't sing, doesn't dance, and despises tragedies. But she recently figured out how yeast works and can now make homemade bread, which she is really good at eating.

I grew up in Mesa, Arizona, and graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in English literature. I currently live in southern Arizona with my husband, Jeremy, and our three children. When I am not writing, I enjoy reading, starting new craft projects, and spending time with my family.
