All Rachel MacDonald wants for Christmas is to make it through her best friend’s wedding with her dignity intact. Fresh from a holiday heartbreak—courtesy of her flaky ex-fiancé—she’s armed with retail therapy and a strict ‘stick to sensible choices’ policy. With a partner’s seat at her law firm hanging in the balance, she can’t afford distractions. But when she’s paired with charming drummer Teddy Hargrove in the wedding party, her resolve crumbles faster than day-old Christmas cookies. A no-strings fling with a hard end date might be the only reckless choice she’s willing to make.

Teddy’s earned his spot on Santa’s naughty list—and his charm makes it impossible for anyone to hold it against him. As the irresistible drummer of Stellar Riot, he’s never pretended to be anything but a love-’em-and-leave-’em musician whose ex-girlfriends still send him Christmas cards. But one look at Rachel in her emerald-green bridesmaid dress has him wondering if it’s time to change his tune. Too bad she’s got him filed firmly under ‘Christmas Bad Idea #1.’

Partnered in a wedding-week Christmas Challenge—with gingerbread showdowns and carol face-offs—they can’t outrun their very inconvenient spark. Love might be the real win, if Rachel can trust her heart to a drummer boy who’s never played for keeps—until now.

Not My Little Drummer Boy is Book Two in the Stellar Riot Christmas series but can be read as a fun standalone.

It’s December 1st, and notorious rock guitarist Christian Steele should be on a windswept Scottish island filming Wild For The Win.

Instead, a career-killing scandal drives him to the last place anyone will look: Haley Templeton’s London home. She’s his best friend’s rule-loving sister, champion of an overcrowded dog rescue—and the woman Christian has secretly loved since the night she found him and her brother backstage, two bright-eyed hopefuls chasing their first taste of fame.

Haley has pinned every hope on Christian’s reality-show prize money to save Canine Haven. Now he’s cluttering her hallway with leather jackets, stringing fairy lights in her lounge, and making her wonder if the tabloids got him wrong. Each carol he hums, every puppy he spoils, every brush of his calloused fingers tempts her to believe in the bad-boy turned Christmas-angel beneath the reputation.

But time is ticking. If the real reason he walked off camera stays hidden, Haley’s rescue will lose its last lifeline—and Christian will lose the only woman who’s ever seen the man behind the myth.

Twelve days. One forbidden crush finally laid bare. Zero room for mistakes.

Can London’s loudest rock star convince a play-it-safe girl that love is worth the risk?

The Twelve Days of Christian is Book One in the Stellar Riot Christmas series but can be read as a fun standalone.

JENNA

I have rules. Don’t mix business with pleasure. Don’t fall for nice guys who’ll break my heart. And absolutely don’t get involved with my father’s rugby players – especially not my best friend’s younger brother.

But Geordie MacDonald isn’t the sunny little boy who once trailed after me through Cluanie anymore. The man who’s returned from the oil rigs is all quiet confidence and capable hands, with a golden heart that makes my carefully constructed walls crumble.

Our attraction was supposed to burn out quickly. A secret fling to get each other out of our systems. Yet as autumn deepens in the Highlands, so does our connection—one that could cost him his place on the team, and me my hard-won independence.

GEORDIE

Eight years away taught me how to survive harsh conditions, but nothing prepared me for the storm that is Jenna Sharpe. My sister’s best friend. My coach’s daughter. The woman I’ve wanted since the first time I laid eyes on her.

She says we’re just having fun – that’s what she insisted that first night. But there’s nothing casual about how I feel when she’s in my arms. Now I’m playing the best rugby of my life by day and sneaking through town to be with her by night.

In a place where whispers travel faster than rugby scores, keeping us hidden might be impossible. But revealing what we are could destroy everything we’ve worked for – and everything we’re beginning to feel.

Some games aren’t played on the field. And some hearts don’t follow the rulebook.

Blindsided by You is Book One in the Heartlands Rugby series.
