Aspen was supposed to be her escape, not the place she’d run straight into the one man she thought she’d finally forgotten.

When Nia arrives in Colorado two weeks before Christmas, all she wants is stillness—snow, silence, and space to breathe after a year that stretched her to her breaking point. Aspen offers all of that and more… until a booking mix-up leaves her sharing a secluded luxury lodge with the man she once loved and lost.

Sam didn’t expect to see her again, let alone under a roof soaked in warm light, crackling fireplaces, and the kind of winter magic that makes old feelings impossible to ignore.
And when a heavy snowstorm locks them in place, neither of them can outrun the truth simmering between them.

Soft lights turn into slow conversations.
Shared cocoa turns into stolen glances.
And one fragile second chance becomes harder to deny with every breath they take.

But healing old wounds is never simple—especially when the past shows up with perfect timing and inconvenient truths.

Naughty by December blends cozy winter charm with heartfelt romance and gentle sensuality, inviting you into a love story where the mountains hold secrets…
and December might just offer the warmest redemption of all.
