Merry, bright, and ready to go all night...

Merry Lights

With a name like mine everyone assumes Christmas is my favorite time of year. 

Truth is, being the owner of Blizzard Bluff's most popular bakery, this is my busy season and if it doesn't go well, I won't have anything to live off of for the remaining eleven months of the year. I'm closest to my coworkers, since I spend the most time with them. 

But there's one I can't get out of my head; Beckett. A construction worker by trade, he's using his winter break to save money for a new home. 

When a blizzard surprises the town, and I'm stuck at the shop with the hottest baker I've ever worked with. Over the course of twenty-four hours, he teaches me things about my body I never knew. As the plows go through to clear the streets, I hope it doesn't end.

The Blizzard Bluff Series

"How's it going, working with Merry?" Holly asks as I help her to her SUV.


"It's going." I shrug. "What's surprising to me is that all the older women in town are giving me tips. It makes me feel awful. Merry goes above and beyond for almost anyone who asks it of her and they aren't giving her tips. They're asking her if they can get money off their orders. Meanwhile, here I am, getting crazy tips just for being there."


"I know her and, trust me, she's not keeping tabs."


"I don't think she is," I assure Holly. "But I wish I could give her a little something of what she's given me. Thanks to the tips and steady paycheck, I'm going to have what I need to finish the down payment for the property and house I wanna buy. If it hadn't been for her letting me do this, I wouldn't be there right now."


"Maybe just tell her that," she suggests. "Or is there a little more going on here?"
