Mistletoe and Wine
by Denise Devine

The holiday decorations are up but business is down. Is it really the most wonderful time of the year?

Allyson Cramer is determined to keep The Ramblin' Rose afloat. If the bar closes, her employees will lose their jobs, and she'll default on her loan. Despite her hard work, the situation becomes critical when the new manager of the pool hall lures her best customers away. Adding insult to injury, Max drops in one day to be "neighborly," bearing gifts and inviting her to lunch. The last thing she wants is to humor a competitor, but this handsome, gregarious man piques her curiosity. Will she gain the secret to his success or lose her heart to him instead?

Ho-ho-ho, Max Reardon needs a change of scenery---and fast.

His reputation and his job are destroyed when his boss' drunken wife, Sybil, brazenly makes a pass at him in public and wants to become friends with benefits. Disgusted, Max retreats to West Loon Bay to spend the holidays managing his uncle's pool hall and contemplate his future. He doesn't plan to stay. The trouble is, the moment he meets Allyson, he's drawn to her. They share a kiss under the mistletoe and now he can't stop thinking about her. Unfortunately, he soon learns that Sybil won't stop thinking abouthim. And that's when his problemsreallybegin.
