Stellar Riot Christmas

Three years of wanting her.Twelve days to win her.One chance at a Christmas miracle.It's December 1st, and bad boy 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 the girl who's always played it safe that the greatest Christmas gift is a love worth risking everything for?

She's not asking Santa for a puppy.She's not wishing for a pony.And a certain drummer boy is definitely not on her Christmas list.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, a strict 'stick to sensible choices' policy, and her eyes on a partner's seat at her law firm. The last thing she needs is a distraction. 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 spot on Santa's naughty list is well-earned, but one look at Rachel in her emerald-green bridesmaid dress has him wondering if it's time to change his tune. Partnered in the wedding-week Christmas Challenge-with gingerbread showdowns and carol face-offs-they can't outrun their inconvenient spark. Love might be the real win, if Rachel risks her heart on a drummer boy who's never played for keeps-until now.
