Hiding From Christmas: A steamy holiday romantic escape (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781988743493)

Hiding from Christmas (Off the Grid Christmas Book 1)

He's been hiding from the world since he lost his family in a brutal attack.

She's just hiding from her family for the holidays.

What happens when they find each other?

Elle

I couldn't face the piteous glances of my family over the holidays after my fiancé Austin unceremoniously dumped me. I was too tame, too awkward, too vanilla, too risk averse. Glad he took five years to figure that out.

I'm devastated. Humiliated. And angry. I told Mom I couldn't bear the thought of coming home for the holidays. I'd rather be alone. Anything was better than their sympathy, but my own company didn't promise to be any better. That's why I jumped at the chance to visit my eccentric aunt Muriel in a remote village on the West coast of Mexico.

Joe

No one would call my solitary life here uncomplicated, but on the surface it's simple enough. After seven years in exile, I'm used to my routine and my solitude, though my grief walks beside me like a silent companion. As much as I might like to go back to my old life, I could never put the people I trust, love and depend upon at risk.

Never again.

I'm regularly reminded that the cost would be too high. Especially this time of year when a cruel gift arrives from my nemesis. My sixth Christmas alone in Mexico. The anniversary of the date I lost everything.

I'm expecting the package, right on schedule. But I'm not expecting the clumsy, beautiful, bewildering blonde that crashes into my world and turns it inside out.
