Christmas Carnage
An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Christmas Romance Novella
Santa's suit isn't the only thing that will be red this Christmas season..
-Natalia-
Being a dancer in the New York Ballet might be prestigious, but it doesn’t guarantee financial stability.
Not only am I responsible for myself, but I’m trying to pay off my parents' debt. And I need their money now. Thankfully, a fellow dancer tips me off to a money-making opportunity of mass proportions. The only downfall is it’s a Gentlemen’s club— owned by Thomas De Santi, New York’s richest and most notorious mobster. Money talks, though. At least until I catch Thomas’ eye and get a lot more than I bargained for. Christmas is supposed to be a time of good cheer, but a Mob Christmas also comes with love, lust, secrets, blood, and murder— and now, I can’t tell who I am anymore or where I’m even trying to go.
-Thomas-
Running the New York mob-scene gives me an abundance of things— especially women. That’s why I rarely fool around with the same one twice. I certainly don’t waste my time with innocent women traipsing through the elites of the city, either. Until Natalia dances at my club to make money. She’s dedicated to two things— her parents and the ballet company… and doesn’t want anything to do with me. Lucky for her, I’m a man of many talents, and I always get what I want… which is her. Just when I think I’m making progress with the strong-headed little siren, my enemies infiltrate the theater and put my woman directly in the line of fire. Now, they’ve forced my hand, and I have no choice but to bring Natalia to my home. It’s the only way to keep her safe. I don’t care how much money her parents owe; they’ll have to take my life before they get another shot at her, and believe me— I can make Krampus look like a cake-walk this holiday season if they want.

The Holiday Showdown
A holiday romcom novella
What’s Christmas without a little competition?
Everest: I’m here in North Hollow Valley for their annual Christmas showcase. It’s the best of the best in every area you could think of; baking, sweets, woodworking, glassblowing. And that’s what I’m here for. I plan to make the best blown glass display and take home that prize money. But there’s one person in my way… Wren Eloise. My archenemy, the bane of my existence, the one person who will always best me in every way. Yet, this year is different. Those feelings I’ve tried to hide just won’t stay down any longer. The only question is, does Wren feel the same way?
Wren: It’s a holiday showdown and I plan to win. After a hell of a year, I need this more than ever. Between health issues and the dying out of glass blowing, I’m putting my all into it. My biggest competitor may be here, but I can take Everest down with no problem. Yet, my life can never be so simple. A freak fire at the hotel leads to being forced to stay in a small cabin with Everest. Throw in a snow storm, forcing us to hunker down together, and this year can’t get any worse. But it all may be a blessing is disguise as Everest and I get back to our roots; friendship. Can I let my guard down and let those feelings flow? Or will I be lonely for Christmas once again?
