The Christmas Swap: A Christmas Novella

Fall in love this Christmas

All Emma Daley wants this holiday season is a white Christmas. But the young teacher and struggling musician sure can’t find that in sunny Arizona. Luckily, there’s someone living in a perfect mountain home in the Colorado Rockies looking to make a vacation trade this year.

West Prescott is an in-demand songwriter and talented musician who put his own singing career on hold to write songs for celebrity acts to perform. When his mother convinces him to do a vacation trade for Christmas, he never imagined one of the houseguests would be so sweet--or so strikingly pretty. Naturally, he decides to stick around, and, to get better acquainted, he poses as the house’s caretaker. But when Emma’s friend Gillian discovers his true identity and sets her sights on him, things
get . . . messy.

Fan favorite Melody Carlson is back with another delightful Christmas tale to warm your heart on those cold winter evenings.

Fall in love this Christmas

Holding her breath, Emma tentatively knocked on the door, expecting a gray, grisly old man to answer. To her surprise, a younger man opened the door. Dressed in jeans and a plaid flannel shirt, he stared at her with a puzzled expression. She suddenly wondered if she’d knocked on
the wrong door.

She smiled stiffly. “Sorry to bother you. I--I was looking for the caretaker, and I thought this was the right--"

“Yeah, yeah.” He studied her with a furrowed brow. “This is, uh, the caretaker’s cottage."

She blinked. “Oh, so . . . are you the caretaker?” For some reason this guy didn’t look much like a caretaker to her.

He nodded with pursed lips. “And who, may I ask, are you?"

"I’m Emma."

"I’m West.” He ran a hand through his shaggy auburn hair.

"West? That’s an interesting name. I like it.” Her smile was sincere now.

"Thanks.” His dark green eyes flickered with interest. "So what can I do for you, Miss Emma?"
