High five novella series
Santa’s Coming | Cupid’s Shot | Shamrock Kisses
Dating in your thirties is different.
From divorce and raising children, to relocating and calling off a wedding, dating in your thirties is different.
The steamy and romantic High Five Novella series follows three friends as they navigate love and life's challenges in their hometown of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. While each holiday-themed novella can be enjoyed as a standalone, reading them in order is recommended for the full experience.
Book #1: Santa's Coming: Emily, a single mother, finds herself enchanted by a charismatic man playing Santa in a local bar.
Book #2: Cupid’s Shot: Sarah, a West Coast girl reacclimating to small-town life, discovers the thrill of seeing an old friend in a new light—shirtless and wearing angel wings.
Book #3: Shamrock Kisses: Rachel, who’s sworn off dating apps, unexpectedly connects with a Chicago guy in town for the weekend.
What about happy endings?
These are novellas, so each one ends with a "happy for now" conclusion. If the series does well, I'd love to expand each story into a full-length novel.
Book #1: Santa’s Coming
I sat on Santa’s lap, and now he wants to see me again.
Single mother Emily is resigned to yet another stressful holiday season alone. That is, until she meets a charismatic man playing Santa in a local bar. Their chance meeting leads to a playful and flirtatious text exchange throughout the holiday season until Santa is on her doorstep, ready to give Emily her Christmas wishes.
A spicy Christmas novella, Santa’s Coming sparkles with the perfect blend of puns and sexy holiday magic.

Book #2: Cupid’s Shot
Since when does Aaron Olson have abs like that?
Sarah Anderson's plan for the Cupid's Crush event at High Five is to enjoy some playful banter and score a free drink. After spending the last decade on the West Coast, Sarah is still reacclimating to her small hometown in Wisconsin, where the familiar faces bring comfort—until one throws her completely off balance. Aaron Olson, the once scrawny high school wrestler, is now tending bar shirtless, revealing a physique that is distracting in the best way. What starts as a light-hearted night out turns into a steamy and flirtatious game of cat and mouse, where Sarah learns that you shouldn’t judge someone by who they were at eighteen—because they might just surprise you in the most irresistible ways.
In this flirty and sizzling Valentine’s themed novella, rediscover the thrill of seeing an old friend in a whole new light, and watch sparks fly as past perceptions are shattered and new attractions take hold.
