Christmas In Calamity - A Novella

Fierce rivalry, nosy neighbors, and vandals abound in Calamity Castle, a subdivision with a passion for all things Christmas. It’s not Noelle’s cup of cocoa, but when her Christmas-crazy mom is laid up with broken bones after a freak Black Friday accident, she’s thrown in the middle of the most cutthroat holiday competition she’s ever seen.

Despite her namesake, Noelle isn’t a fan of Christmas and now she’s got to find a way to defend her mother’s five-time winning streak. Decorating a house for Christmas is pretty straightforward…unless the ladder up to the roof is your own personal Mount Everest. And a cookie contest is a piece of cake, unless your mother’s oven is an unpredictable dessert destroyer, and her previous entry gave last year’s judges food poisoning…allegedly.

Meeting a handsome man in the supermarket, and fighting him for the last pecan pie, feels like a twist of fate when he turns out to be her mom’s ER nurse and also a resident of Calamity Castle. But is Rhett the Christmas miracle Noelle has been waiting for, or is he just the competition? Can she trust him to help her, or is he a double-agent for the HOA president?
