The Mechanic's Secret Santa

CHRISTMAS IN ALPINE VALLEY #8

Meg

I’ve been working tirelessly to make this bakery my own, ever since my mom handed over the keys a year and a half ago.
I’m so close to her signing over the deed and giving me full reign.
I can’t afford any distractions.
Especially the tall, dark, handsome blue-collar distraction named Aaron Montgomery.
But when Mom announces she’s coming to town to see for herself that I don’t live at the bakery, I panic.
I propose a fake relationship with the one relentless man I’ve been desperately avoiding: the sexy mechanic who thinks he wants to date me.
It’s the best way to adhere to the Secret Santa rules and convince my mom I have a life outside the bakery.
All I have to do is not fall for him before our charade is up.

Aaron

I’ve had my mind made up about the curvy bakery owner since the first day I saw her.
Though Meg Bernard has turned me down repeatedly, I’m a patient, determined man.
And despite what she may believe, I’m not going anywhere.
I’m done traveling all over the country week after week.
I’ve left that life behind.
I moved to Alpine Valley to settle down.
To put down roots.
So when she begs me to be her fake boyfriend to appease her mom, I readily agree.
I know it’s my best chance to convince her we’re meant to be.
By Christmas Day, I’m determined to prove that there is nothing fake about what’s been happening between us this whole time.
She is all I want for Christmas, and I plan to make her mine.
