A Christmas Collection
By Barbara Winkes
Three sapphic holiday romances in one sweet bundle!
Get into the spirit with these three sweet sapphic Christmas Romances…
Bells Will Be Ringing
Can a disillusioned big city lawyer find love – and the true meaning of Christmas?
After her life takes a downward turn, Dana Clover decides to visit her vacation home in the small town of Chestnut Hill. When she discovers that the property is in worse shape than she expected, she must rely on helpful townspeople to improve it for potential future owners…
One of them is Dr. Holly McEwen who has been working hard to cope with a tragic loss. Friends and neighbors try to convince the well-loved town doctor that she deserves a second chance at love—but is she ready to open her heart?
A Girlfriend For Christmas
This Christmas, will hearts be broken, or will wishes come true?
Cindy Jeffries has been harboring a crush on Alison Carter, her boss’s niece, for months. So when Alison needs a favor, she’s more than eager to help out.
Alison, a successful businesswoman, is fed up with her friends’ matchmaking efforts. She hopes that introducing Cindy as her girlfriend will put an end to them.
The unusual pact comes with unforeseen consequences. Both of them will have to figure out what matters most in life, and if love is worth taking the risk.
Christmas Cupid
Does a small town bakery offer more than sweet holiday treats, or has its owner found a clever marketing ploy?
Natasha’s favorite way of spending Christmas is on a beach with a cocktail, far away from the mistletoe and cheer she doesn’t believe in. She’s not happy when her boss sends her to the small town of Pinedale to investigate the legend of the Christmas Cupid:
In the Magic Christmas Bakery, customers have fallen in love while sharing sweet treats, for generations.
Natasha is prepared to uncover a scam—until she meets Ivy, third generation owner of the bakery and the current Christmas Cupid. Instead of a fraud, Natasha discovers seasonal delicacies and meets the couples who were blessed by the bakery’s matchmaking magic.
As the story changes, is it possible that a cynic like her could fall for a woman who is all about helping others find The One?
