The Match #4
Her Sweetest Match
All I Want For Christmas Is You...
Christmas has never been good to Frankie Dillon, but she vows this year will be different. After getting sober and healthy, she’s now pursuing her dreams in Austin, Texas—which includes building a life she can be proud of for herself and her daughter, and finally finding Mr. Right.
Intent on moving forward, the last thing Frankie wants is to step back into the past that used to bind her.
But Can Her Past Also Be Her Future?
Rancher Harlan Williams has been Frankie’s best friend since they were kids in Midland, Texas—and he’s loved her, quietly, just as long. When Frankie left Midland for the big city, she took a piece of his heart with her. When she announced her plans to find a man, she stomped all over what was left of it.
Now, Harlan figures it’s time to make his feelings known—except Frankie’s never seen him as anything other than a friend. So he decides to shape himself into a man she can’t resist.
When he shows up on her doorstep on Christmas Eve, fit, muscular and more handsome than ever, the sparks they ignite together burn hotter than a yuletide log.
But it’s tough for Harlan to get past the fact that Frankie only likes him now that he’s hot... And even tougher for Frankie to believe that Harlan, who knows everything about her checkered past, could truly love her for her.
It’ll take nothing short of a Christmas miracle to bring these two hearts together...

I'm really excited about this story. HER SWEETEST MATCH is sort of Book 2.5 in the Match Series. It's Frankie's story—remember Frankie from MISS MATCH? She's the friend Clare Fox meets aboard the Lucky Duck singles' cruise.
Well, I absolutely loved Frankie when I wrote that book. She was so vivid to me: hilarious, loyal and true, equal parts sweet and saucy, naive and worldly, with a whole lotta Texas sass. It was clear from the start that Frankie deserved her own story. And when I went back to reread her scenes in MISS MATCH, it was absolutely clear who her hero would be. Then my friend Katie Graykowski (who writes great, hilarious romances, herself—go read them all!) lit a fire under my butt to write a Christmas novella... And immediately, Frankie leapt to mind.
Writing HER SWEETEST MATCH was one of the most pleasurable writing experiences I've ever had! You know how it is when you're reading a book you love, and you can't put it down, and you can't read it fast enough—you just want to know what's going to happen? Well, I couldn't stop writing this story, and I couldn't write it fast enough. It just poured out of me, and I couldn't wait for Frankie and Harlan to experience everything they were going to go through together, culminating in (spoiler alert!) discovering the love of their dreams.
