Holly Jolly Heresy

Three frozen pizzas, two steamy nights, and a hot priest under the tree.

Caleb West needs a Christmas miracle. After twenty-five years as a priest, he can't escape the one temptation he doesn't know how to resist: Molly Proulx. His curvy colleague isn't just beautiful-she's witty, compassionate, and bold enough to challenge him when it counts. Molly helps him remember why he became a priest in the first place-and makes him question how much longer he can keep his vows.

Molly Proulx is full of "humbug" this Christmas, the only bright spot being stolen moments with Father West. She knows her crush is inappropriate, but she's beginning to suspect their flirtation isn't truly one-sided.

When a road trip goes awry, Caleb and Molly get snowed in at an isolated cabin. Somewhere between spiked hot chocolate, lobster nativity scenes, and getting cozy by the fire, Caleb finds himself imagining a life outside the priesthood-a life by Molly's side.

Falling for Molly is against every rule, but Caleb is starting to wonder if she's not a temptation after-but the answer to his prayers.

Holly Jolly Heresy is an age gap, Christmas romance between a priest and a curvy schoolteacher. A standalone in the Aster Bay series, this forbidden romance has a guaranteed HEA.
