Twas the night
before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…but
lust refused to settle in for a long winter's nap.
She might be
all nestled, snug in her bed, by why, oh why, do visions of the wrong guy dance
in her head?
Jessica, (not
Jessie), figures that nothing could be better than a trip to the Emerald Isle
for Christmas break. So she takes a flying leap and follows her boyfriend home
for the holidays, not only sure that he will finally agree they're
destined for each other, but also that Ireland will provide the perfect
backdrop to the beginning of their happily-ever-after.
But it turns
out his family--and his gorgeous ex-girlfriend--don't feel the same way, and
even the family goat seems to be conspiring against her well-laid plans. The
only person making the trip worthwhile is the very last one she should be
thinking about, but Grady, the local farmhand, has a way of showing up when
Jessica needs him most...and least.
USA Today bestselling author Lyla Payne wraps up the perfect holiday
novella, ties it with a ribbon of romance, and tops it with a light dusting of
snow. Perfect to curl up with under the tree. Just add hot cocoa!
Lyla has long had
a love of stories. A few years ago she decided to put them down on the page,
and even though Lyla has a degree in film and television, novels were the
creative outlet where she found a home. When the idea for Broken at Love
(my first New Adult title) arrived, Lyla couldn’t wait to try something new –
and she’s hooked. In her spare time, Lyla watches a ton of tennis (no
surprise, there), plays a ton of tennis, and dedicates a good portion of brain
power to dreaming up the next fictitious bad boy we’d all love to meet in real
life.
