Blue Christmas: A Romantic Comedy Novella

This Christmas, the King isn't the only one shaking things up. Wall Street tycoon Clayton Jessup III flies into Memphis with one goal: dump his tacky inheritance and get back to civilization. The Blue Suede Suites—an Elvis-themed hotel stuffed with over-the-top questionable taste—was his mother's legacy, and Clay wants it gone faster than you can say "e;Thank you very much."e; Then he slips in sheep poop. Now concussed, furious, and stuck in town, Clay finds himself under the care of Annie Fallon—a gorgeous, warm-hearted farm girl dressed like Elvis's sultriest girlfriend. Annie and her brothers are running a living Nativity scene (with backup Elvis impersonators) to save their failing dairy farm. It's ridiculous. It's desperate. And somehow, it's irresistible. Annie does not need a cranky, arrogant Yankee with bedroom eyes and a body that makes her forget her good sense. Clay does not need a big-haired, big-hearted Southern woman who makes him laugh, challenges his control, and sets his blood on fire. But with a little Elvis magic, hearts—and hips—are about to start shaking. Blue Christmas is a laugh-out-loud, sexy holiday romance packed with sizzling chemistry, outrageous humor, and enough Southern charm to make even a hardened Wall Street suit believe in Christmas miracles. (Originally published as "e;Fever"e; in the Blue Christmas anthology from Leisure Books and in the Blue Christmas anthology from Bell Bridge Books)
