Winter is almost to an end but we know that the next holiday season will be here before we know it. A magical romance that warms up the coldest nights of December can spin its spell throughout the whole year. The spirit of the holiday only enhances the pure enjoyment that comes from a true romantic book.
 
We are looking for sweet, holiday, and contemporary romances that can bring home those feelings of warm love. We want romance exuding from the books with light-hearted humor.

Think Cecilia Ahern. Think Marian Keyes. Think Patricia Scanlan.

Below are the elements we are looking for:
1) Contemporary Romance or Urban Paranormal Romance
2) Sweet romance
3) Holiday themed – Christmas/Thanksgiving/Halloween
4) Fairy tale touch
5) Word count: 40,000 – 80,000

We love the dark creatures lurking around corners waiting to pounce upon us. Or the little, tiny creatures who are innocently cute but so powerful that they can blow us away.
