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

"It's fucking freezing out there." I stomp my feet in my snow boots as I enter the lobby. "Does anyone know what the temperature is?" 


Noelle is standing at the reception desk, a bemused smile on her face. "About five below zero." 


"Sorry, I probably shouldn't have let the F-word slip before I saw if anyone was in here or not." My face warms, and I have the decency to be slightly embarrassed.  


"It's okay. I tend to like the fact that you're a bad boy." 


After walking over to the desk, I lean against it, giving her my best smile. "Oh yeah? Is that what got you?" 


She rests her elbows and puts her face in her palms. "Maybe. I mean, probably. How's it been going out there today?" 


"Anything that could freeze up has done so. Do you happen to know what the temperature is supposed to be overnight? We may need to make some adjustments, depending."
