A Groom for Christmas (Love On a Dare Book 1) - Love On a Dare, #1

Winner! 2014 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf AwardA Groom for Christmas is a new twist on the classic Hallmark Christmas movie full of family, humor, love, and a little bit of redemption. Family pressure might just make her do something crazy... When a young woman hires her hometown's former bad boy to be her pretend fiancé for the holidays, she finds she can't wrap up her feelings as easily as a Christmas gift.
New York jewelry designer Graceann Palmer has two days to find a fiancé to bring home to Pennsylvania for the holidays so her matchmaking mama will quit fixing her up with jerks. The Falcon, a motorcycle-riding, leather-clad former high school crush, helped her out once before. Maybe he'll do it again. Jake Falco, man of many mysteries, is back in town on a mission-one the people of Spirit Lake most likely won't appreciate.
When Graceann presents him with her crazy scheme, it gives him something he's always wanted-a chance to get to know Graceann. It also gives him the perfect opportunity to add fuel to his project of revenge. But as Jake and Graceann grow closer, their engagement-of-convenience begins to feel like the real deal-until Jake's secrets are revealed. Can a relationship that began with lies and secrets bloom like a rare Christmas rose into happily-ever-after?2013 Snow Globe Awards Finalist2014 Best Couple Finalist, Love Romances Cafe2014 RomCon Awards
