Meet cute...

Run for the hills—temporarily. That's Colbie Albright's plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie's so over it that she's under it. She's also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she's pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won't be a stranger for long.

Make merry...

Spence's commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn't have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot—chemistry he's got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she's gorgeous and a great listener...just because she "gets" Spence immediately doesn't mean he won't be able to let Colbie go. Does it?

...and hope for a miracle.

Now the clock's ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime.

      Shalvis’s fans will love spending Christmas in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood with her now-familiar gang of lovable Heartbreaker Bay misfits. New Yorker Colbie Albright has had it up to here with her stressful life. She packs a bag and buys a ticket on the first flight that will take her far from home. When a hurricane thwarts plans for a South Seas vacation, she heads to San Francisco and ends up at the wishing fountain with Heartbreaker Bay regular Spence Baldwin. It’s uncharacteristic commitment at first sight for Spence, but Colbie is dead set on a quick holiday fling that will self-destruct on Christmas Eve. As befits a make-nice holiday romance, tension runs a bit slack here, but the successful Shalvis formula of relatable characters, stunning Bay Area scenery, and good old-fashioned bonhomie still works. Agent: Robin Rue, Writers House.

      When Colbie takes a much-needed break, she doesn't expect to meet the man of her dreams or find unexpected balance, but when she does, will it mean completely leaving her old life behind to embrace her newfound happiness?When a late-season hurricane thwarts her plan to head to a tropical island for a pre-holiday vacation, bestselling author Colbie Albright spontaneously buys a ticket to San Francisco instead. She has three weeks before she needs to head back to New York for Christmas with her mother and twin brothers--"twenty-three going on twelve"--all of whom she's allowed to become completely dependent on her. She supports them financially and emotionally, which leaves her burned out and exhausted. On her way to her hotel, she stops in the Cow Hollow district to check out the famous fountain "with the crazy love legend that had appealed to the writer deep down inside her"--and a giant dog knocks her into the water. The dog walker, Spence Baldwin, feels guilty enough and is immediately attracted to her enough that he offers Colbie the use of an apartment he owns. Spence and Colbie each have secrets, but as they move into an affair, chip away at their insecurities, and win over Spence's skeptical friends--making them both more productive on their individual projects and balanced overall--they begin to wonder what exactly is keeping them apart. However, neither one is willing to take the first step beyond their strictly enforced affair-only zone until Colbie actually gets on a plane home to New York and realizes she may have ruined everything. Shalvis achieves another winning love story with her signature mix of witty banter, lighthearted humor, and romantic high notes.
