    Summary

    According to the rules, calling off the wedding requires a minimum of four hours of discussion, with mandatory cool-off periods of at least one meal and one sleep (or nap), and parental mediation by the only parent they have left between them. Vi privately thinks that Tobias only agreed to this in order to get them out of his office so he could get back to organizing the clinic shift schedule, but a deal is still a deal.

    And so far, the wedding is still on.

    Or: Vi and Cait plan a wedding, solve multiple mysteries, receive some surprising visitors, and survive disaster again, apart and together.

    Summary

    Vi grabbed a stack of books from the top rows of the crate and set them aside so she could reach what was underneath. She was already grinning, cheeks already pink, as she wiggled free one of the leather-bound selections from below. When she saw the bold, curling font on the cover, imprinted in gold leaf into the darkened leather, she laughed and clutched it to her chest. She grabbed a second title from the bottom of the crate, then a third and fourth. By the time she pulled a fifth one and registered the silhouette of intertwined bodies pressed into the binding, her laughter had turned into a breathless giggle that probably would have been embarrassing, should anyone other than Caitlyn have been around to witness it.

    “Are all of these…?”

    “…steamy romance novels depicting passionate love affairs between women?” Caitlyn offered helpfully, her smile somehow even brighter than it had been just a moment ago. “Yes. The entire bottom half of the crate is full of them.”

    ***

    Vi comes home to two very special surprises: Caitlyn - who has on exactly zero occasions managed to beat her home from work before - and a wooden crate in the library, packed to the brim and tied with a giant bow.

    Summary

    Vi has only been out of prison for a few weeks, and she's spent pretty much all of it working diligently on the family Christmas tree farm. It's nothing special, but it's home. It's a job. It keeps her close to the people she loves. Everything's about perspective, when it comes right down to it.

    Caitlyn knows absolutely nothing about Christmas trees. The staff at her parents' estate typically took care of everything without needing her to lift a finger, but she's living on her own now. She has her own little place in a town where pretty much everyone hates her, and is it really so wrong to hope putting up her own Christmas tree might give her just a little something to feel happy about?

    They couldn't seem to be more different. And yet, when they meet, they affect each other in the same undeniably irresistible way. Can the joy of the holiday season overcome the pain of the past to bring them both a gift worth remembering this Christmas?
