Following the success of A Merry Little Meet Cute, a new holiday rom-com
cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today
bestselling author Sierra Simone—about an actress and a perpetually single
former boy-band member reunited as costars on a steamy holiday film.
Kallum Liebermanis the funny one™. As the arguably lesser of the three
former members of the boy band INK, he enjoyed his fifteen minutes of fame and
then moved home where he opened a regional pizza chain called Slice, Slice,
Baby! He’s living his best dad bod life, hooking up with bridesmaids at all
his friends’ weddings. But after an old one-off sex tape is leaked and quickly
goes viral, Kallum decides he’s ready to step into the spotlight again,
starring in a sexy Santa biopic for the Hope Channel.
Winnie Baker did everything right. She married her childhood sweetheart,
avoided the downfalls of adolescent stardom, and transitioned into a stable
adult acting career. Hell, she even waited until marriage to have sex. But
after her perfect life falls apart, Winnie is ready to redefine herself—and
what better way than a steamier-than-a-steaming-hot-mug-of-cider Christmas
movie?
With decade old Hollywood history between them, Winnie and Kallum are
both feeling hesitant about their new situation as costars…especially Winnie
who can’t seem to fake on screen pleasure she’s never experienced in real life.
She’s willing to do the pleasure research—for science and artistic
authenticity, of course. And there’s no better research partner than her
bridesmaid sex tape hall of fame costar, Kallum. But suddenly, Kallum’s teenage
crush on Winnie is bubbling to the surface and Winnie might be catching
feelings herself.
They say
opposites attract, but is this holly jolly ever after really ready for its
close-up?
I need Isaac's book asap!

Sierra is a voracious reader of all things including the smuttiest smut, young adult, piles of non-fiction for research, and everything Bill Bryson (especially on audio).
She loves writing the dirtiest things that she can think of, King Arthur, sparkling water, Tarot, coffee, leggings, and learning new words daily.
Her previous jobs have included firing ceramics, teaching living history lessons in one-room school house in full, 1904-approved school marm attire, and working as a librarian for several years—not in that order
She lives in the Kansas City area with her husband, two children, and two giant dogs. (And two cats, but they're so naughty we don't talk about them.)
Julie Murphy lives in North Texas with her husband who loves her, her dog who adores her, and her cats who tolerate her. After several wonderful years in the library world, Julie now writes full-time.
When she’s not writing or reliving her reference desk glory days, she can be found watching made-for-TV movies, hunting for the perfect slice of cheese pizza, and planning her next great travel adventure.
She is also the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the young adult novels Dumplin’ (now a film on Netflix), Puddin’, Ramona Blue, and Side Effects May Vary. Dear Sweet Pea is her debut middle grade novel.
