This December — Gillian Archer

A Holiday Mode novella The holidays can be lonely, but this December I'm having a fling with a rock star. My life has imploded. I've lost my job, my apartment, and don't even get me started on my non-existent love life. So it feels fitting to be living back at my parents' home in South Lake Tahoe. It's like I'm a teen again at the ripe ol' age of twenty-six—only instead of delivering pizzas, I'm delivering overpriced salmon and kale to lazy ski bums. Is a quarter-life crisis a thing? Which is how I meet rock star Cole Jackson—delivering groceries to his ridiculous Tahoe chalet. Somehow he finds my scattered insanity charming. And I'm so tempted. Besides, isn't that what people having a quarter-life crisis do? Have ill-advised flings? This fling has a definite expiration date. He's going back on tour, and I have to get my life back on track.
