Winning Christmas: A Spring Valley Holiday Romance

When love is the game, it’s winner takes all.

Nashville wildlife photographer Liam Coventry likes his relationships the way he likes his job assignments: short-term. Charming, confident, and reluctant heir to a timber empire, Liam has spent years outrunning expectations—and his own heart. But that changes the moment he sees his closest friend and favorite competitor, Emma Walters, on a date with his most despised rival two weeks before Christmas. A wink and a smile won’t save him this time. Not with Emma. But their annual holiday competition is coming up, and it might be the key to winning her over—if he can convince her to break the rules and follow her heart.

Straightlaced editor Emma Walters may play things by the book, but she does not lose gracefully. So, she just doesn’t lose. Especially not to her best friend, Liam Coventry. But she has grown tired of Liam’s games—and of holding onto hope that he will ever see her as anything more than a friend. So, when he suggests ending a Christmas game they have played since they were teenagers, she plans to go out on top and leave thoughts of Liam behind her for good.

But when the game becomes real and love is on the line, they both discover that the only way to win is to lose their hearts.

Friends take a chance on love in Winning Christmas, a sweet, opposites-attract holiday romance set in a charming Tennessee small town. Appropriate for all ages, it is the first stand-alone novel in the Spring Valley Holiday Romance series.
