Craving a cosy Christmas escape without the pressure of commitment? You've found it.
Lara is laser-focused on launching her software company. She can't miss a crucial business trip to Yorkshire, even if it means a last-minute dash just before Christmas. But when a winter storm grounds travel plans, the charming and old-fashioned Trewton Arms pub becomes her unexpected sanctuary.
Tilly is a vibrant tapestry woven with art and adventure. After two years of globetrotting, she's back in England for a fleeting Christmas visit, already itching for her next journey.
When Lara and Tilly's paths cross at the snowbound pub, the connection is instant and undeniable. Amidst the festive atmosphere and crackling fires, a spark ignites. But with their fiercely independent spirits and looming departures, can this unexpected Christmas connection blossom into something more, or will it melt away with the snow?
Escape into this delightful standalone saphhic novella where two fiercely independent women find an unexpected spark amidst a cosy Christmas setting. If you love closed-door romances with witty banter, strong heroines who know their own minds, and the promise of a heartwarming connection, then Christmas for Commitmentphobes is your perfect holiday read. (A standalone novella in the Trewton Royd small town romance series.)
Autorentext
Rhoda writes contemporary women's fiction with a hint of geek.
Back in the early 2000s, when she commuted into London every day, Rhoda read romance novels and wished there were more stories about women who were not obsessed with shoes. Besides which, where were all the nice men - the sort that rely on wit and charm rather than money and biceps?
Rhoda now writes the sort of books she wanted to read. She's lucky enough to have several books published by a traditional publisher (thank you Choc Lit!). Her books have been nominated for prizes and her articles have appeared on various websites, including USA Today.
In real life, she has a DPhil in microbiolgy, so if her pen name sounds vaguely bacterial, you can guess why.
You can find her wittering on about cake and science or making bad puns on her website (www.rhodabaxter.com), or on Facebook or Twitter (@rhodabaxter). Or, if you like, you can email her at rhodab@rhodabaxter.com. Please do say hello if you're passing.
