ABOUT THE BOOKS:
You Make It Feel Like Christmas by Christine Drummond
She fixes everyone's messes.
Coming home means facing the one man who never needed fixing.
Charlotte "Charlie" Hayes has built a career out of fixing other people's disasters. As a music publicist, she can spin a scandal, save a reputation, and make the messiest men look good-even the one she's dating.
So when her famous boyfriend's career implodes right before Christmas, Charlie throws herself into saving him-until Brent cancels their lease without telling her and vanishes on his comeback tour. Homeless and single, Charlie's forced back to the small Connecticut hometown she thought she'd escaped, complete with holiday lights, dark family memories, and Hunter: her steady, maddeningly good best friend, who she's been avoiding for months.
Hunter Wells has spent years being the one who stays, who shows up-and who loved Charlie quietly because he knew she wasn't ready. But now she's back, and he's done waiting. With his thriving dog-walking business rooting him in Pinegrove, Hunter doesn't need saving. He needs Charlie to stop running long enough to imagine the life she never let herself want-with him.
As Charlie manages her ex's high-pressure tour and her own uncertain career from afar, small-town Christmas starts to feel less like a temporary escape and more like one mess she can't clean up-and maybe doesn't want to. But Hunter will always belong to the town she spent years outrunning, and Charlie won't easily risk the new beginning she fought so hard for.
For their love to last beyond Christmas, they'll have to answer the hardest question: can they create a future big enough for both their dreams?
The Christmas Countdown by Linny Mack
Lucy Sullivan swore she'd never spend another Christmas in Birch Harbor.
Not after Dylan Mercer drowned ten years ago.
Not after the town turned his death into a tragedy no one wanted to talk about.
And definitely not after she left behind Dean Walker-the boy who stayed by her side when her entire world fell apart.
But when her parents announce they're leaving Maine for good, Lucy returns home for one last Sullivan Family Christmas, expecting little more than awkward reunions and memories she's spent years trying to outrun.
Birch Harbor's newest detective, Dean Walker has spent the last decade trying to move on from the girl who disappeared from his life without warning. But the moment Lucy walks back into town, old feelings come rushing to the surface-and so do questions surrounding Dylan's death.
When mysterious gifts begin appearing on Lucy's doorstep-each one connected to the night Dylan died-it becomes impossible to ignore the past.
Everyone in Birch Harbor has always believed Dylan's death was an accident. But someone remembers exactly what happened on the icy harbor that night. And they're determined to make sure the truth stays buried.
As the truth draws them closer, Lucy and Dean begin to wonder if coming home might mean more than finally putting the past to rest-it might mean finding their way back to each other.

About the Venue
Cupid's Bookshop
Cupid’s is more than a bookstore, it’s a judgment‑free zone where diverse love stories are celebrated openly. Tina envisioned a store where readers don’t have to hide their favorite tropes—be it aliens, faeries, dragons, or adventure romances—and where workshops, midnight release parties, and author signings are part of the romance culture. Community is at our core. We host monthly book clubs spanning romantasy, contemporary romance, dark romance, and LGBTQ+ titles—each one a welcoming space for readers to gush, cry, debate tropes, and bond over their favorite book boyfriends (and girlfriends, and morally gray magical beings). Whether you're new to romance or a lifelong lover of the genre, our book clubs are designed to make you feel seen, heard, and completely at home.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Her touch kills, his saves the dying. Are they fated, or forbidden? Tempest Dunlap loves romance novels, but she knows she’ll never have her own happily-ever-after. She is a sweatpants-wearing doula who homeschools her seven-year-old niece in suburban New Jersey. Unfortunately, she’s also a succubus: Every man she’s ever kissed has died. But Tempest is a good person who never intended to be a murderer, so she’s sworn off love forever. Then she meets Joel Tav, a gorgeous, gentle doctor who makes celibacy feel impossible. Tempest knows she can’t touch him—or tell him his brother was the last man she dated and accidentally killed. Meanwhile, a vigilante is hunting people with dark powers, and Tempest is next. Should she keep hiding in her safe, lonely life, or should she embrace the darkness she fears and risk the ultimate forbidden romance? Maybe Tempest will get her love story after all . . . or maybe she’ll become its villain. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: KATE FOX lives with her husband, daughters, and two fluffy cats in an old house in an old town in the universally admired state of New Jersey, where she looks for magic in mundane places. Her favorite trope is enemies to lovers, as long as they're really enemies.
