If you love fun, small town romance, Chrismoose Kisses is packed full of that charm—a fun cast of characters, a quirky small town Alaskan setting, and a swoony-romance with all the feels. All inspired by the decade the author lived in Alaska.

I have one rule: I don't date military men. It was a promise I made to Mom on her deathbed. All my life, I've lived by that rule. Or so I thought. Because that whirlwind romance weekend I had with a stranger four years ago?

When I travel to the small town of Sunset Ridge for the reading of my great aunt’s will, I have no idea that my sisters and I are about to inherit a lodge. Or that my rugged Alaskan neighbor is the caretaker I’ll be spending all my time with. Falling for Ford Harris would be unwise. I’m supposed to get the lodge listed for sale and leave. Not to mention that he hasn’t dated anyone since his wife died four years ago. The little sister he’s super protective over let it slip that he swore off ever falling in love again.

I’ve been looking forward to visiting my Coast Guard brother in Alaska since I broke off my engagement. A little time away in beautiful Alaska with my camera is just what I need. But when my flight lands in North Haven, my brother is nowhere to be found. Instead, the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on is calling out my name, insisting he’s my ride. Jaxson Daniels is exactly who’d I’d pick for a no-strings-attached hookup during my long weekend away from home. Only problem is he’s my brother’s best friend.

I’ve been living a quiet, simple life in my hometown for years. After a bad relationship with an ex who didn’t want to leave me alone, my plans to stay in the Coast Guard and travel the world were derailed. I wanted to feel safe again. I’ve adjusted well enough. But a crush on a world-traveled volunteer at the local animal shelter makes me yearn to stretch out of my comfort zone.

It’s been 13 years since I last stepped foot in Sunset Ridge, Alaska. After my first love joined the army and left me behind, I swore I’d never look back. But now my career is up in smoke, and I’ve been left with no other choice than to help my sisters run the inn we inherited until my name is cleared. No one warned me that the man who broke my heart was back in town. Or that he was one of our guests.

Breakups are supposed to make people sad. Right? But all I feel after parting ways with my Anchorage boyfriend is … relief. I didn’t expect to spend my entire summer in Caribou Creek. To say he was unsupportive when I told him is the understatement of the year. But with Grandma Rose on a cruise, it’s up to my sisters and me to keep the diner afloat in her absence. Oh, and apparently our fate rests in the hands of my best friend, Rowan Jacobs and his secret cooking talent.

It’s not that I’m trouble as much as trouble follows me everywhere. Especially when it comes to the Caribou Creek police chief, Garrett Bradley. Every time I cross paths with the man too sexy for his own good, trouble follows. Which is why I should know better than to speed through town. Because of course Garrett pulls me over. But instead of giving me the ticket I expect, he arrests me. The jerk.

Sophie Whitmore fled with her daughter Caroline to Sunset Ridge, Alaska, months after her now ex-husband left her for another woman. She’s worked hard to rebuild her life in the new town alongside her sisters, running a lodge the three inherited more than a year ago.

It’s no secret that I’m the black sheep of the family. I’m the sassy drama queen who’s less reliable than the weather forecast. So when I decide to move back home and focus on becoming a better person, I expect an uphill battle. Especially where my oldest brother is concerned. The only thing he cares about is that I stay out of his way and leave his best friend, Conner, alone. Which would be easier to do if the too-sexy-for-his-own-good veterinarian wasn’t practically part of our family.

I kissed my brother’s best friend when I was 15, right before he left for basic training. He didn’t kiss me back. Fourteen years have gone by since I’ve been home. I heard he’s back but haven’t wanted to face him. But when my grandma fractures her ankle and needs in-home physical therapy, I can’t say no. Caribou Creek is too small to avoid running into Zac Ashburn. Especially since my brother works at his brewery. He’s even hotter and more tempting than I remember. It doesn’t matter that I’m dealing with my own mini-life crisis. I know my heart is in trouble. Stupid heart.

I’ve been in love with my grumpy, sexy boss for three years. It’s an embarrassingly long time to hold a candle for someone. It’s clear I’m not Ben Ashburn’s type. It’s time for me to move on. But when he tells me we’re headed to an out-of-town festival to represent the brewery, I make a bold decision. I’m going to tell him how I feel before we come home. Well, I was going to tell him. Until he invites my grandma to come with us. Awkward much? wonder if he realized Grams would try to play matchmaker? Extra awkward.

Laurel Evans left Sunset Ridge five years ago, leaving behind a husband she loved to protect him from her biggest secret. She never intended to return. It’s only after her youngest sister confesses she’s pregnant that Laurel decides to move home to help. All she has to do is avoid her ex-husband as much as possible and life can be fairly normal, right? It would be easier if he wasn’t her best friend’s older brother. Easier, but not impossible.

Ava Monroe has a secret. In her ambitious attempt to recreate the local gift shop passed down to the women in her family for generations, she’s put the store far into the red and is now days away from foreclosure.

I’m having a mini life crisis. Normally I would confide in my bestie. But I didn’t come all the way to Alaska to ruin her wedding with my pathetic problems. I decide to stay in North Haven a few extra days to get my head on straight. When the new bride offers her key to me and insists I stay at her place while she’s on her honeymoon, I gladly accept it. My plan to hide out and avoid people—especially the arrogant groomsmen James Devano—is quickly upended when I discover I’m not the only one who’s been invited to stay.

Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t walk down the aisle and marry the wrong man. So I ditch my own wedding and board a plane. I’m probably crazy for showing up in North Haven, Alaska unannounced. It’s been ten years since I last saw Jordan Harris. Considering I was the one who broke his heart, I doubt he’ll want to see me. But I have to know if what we once had is possible to have again. I’ve never stopped loving him.

When my grandpa passes, he leaves behind one request for me: Hand deliver a letter to a man who lives in Sunset Ridge, Alaska and get his cabin in return. Freedom. After years spent unsuccessfully trying to appease the older sister who raised me, I’m taking my escape and don’t plan to come back. I pack up my dog and my belongings and head north.

Starting over in Sunset Ridge—the epitome of small town Alaskan charm—is just what I need after a sour breakup. I mean, where else can I get a bowl of the best caribou chili while hearing stories about Ed the matchmaking moose? It’s the perfect inspiration for my next novel.

After ending a toxic relationship, I’m ready for a fresh start. When an opportunity to be a kindergarten teacher in Caribou Creek arises, I don’t think twice. I pack my bags and go. After that turbulent relationship, I’m determined to stay single and focus on myself. But my resolve is tested when I meet my incredibly attractive landlord, Wes Ashburn. For months, I keep my distance from the sexy brew master. But when a leak springs under my kitchen sink that I can’t fix, I’m forced to call him.
