“We shall.” I gazed around. “It’s cozy.”
“Are you asking me to move in?”
“Hell, yes.” I squeezed his hands. “Forever, if you will.”
“I will. I so will.”
We talked for a long time after that. Then I led him to my bed, and we celebrated the winter solstice.
And he stayed.
And I couldn’t have been happier.

HER PRETEND WINTER ROMANCE
BY TONI DENISE
Grace’s disastrous date ends with her clumsy exit turning into small-town gossip fodder. Mortified, she escapes to a friend’s cabin, only to be snowed in with Caleb—the handsome stranger who saw it all.
Caleb is in town visiting old army buddies, not looking for romance. But when the storm strands him with Grace, sparks fly. To dodge her grandmother’s meddling matchmakers, they agree to fake date once the snow clears. The only problem? Pretending is easy, admitting their feelings might change everything.
CHAPTER 1
It’s justa quick dinner and then you can get back to grading those papers and take the whole break to binge a show or six, Grace told herself. She didn’t want to go to dinner but knew better than to say no to her Grandma or her friends.
If there wasn’t a really good reason for bailing on plans they made (even when they made it without telling you) you had to go. Unfortunately for her, I’m tired wasn’t a good enough reason, especially when they were already concerned about her missing out on her youth and not dating.
She didn’t want to date. She was tired of looking for a prince among frogs. They were all frogs recently, and she absolutely did not want to go out with another one.
“Oh, good, you’re here,” her grandma said as she approached with a smile.
“You could have taken a seat. I told you I was coming.”
“I just wanted to be sure. Come along, there’s someone I want you to meet.” She took Grace’s hand and started pulling her further into the diner.
“Grandma, I—” she was startled when she saw a strange man at the table with her friend’s husband. Was her grandma trying to set her up again?
“Hi Grace,” Mike waved at her. “Out for dinner with one of my favorite ladies?”
Her grandma stopped pulling on her long enough to blush. “You do know how to flirt.”
“It’s what I’m best at,” he flashed her a charming grin. “Have you met Caleb?”
“I have not.” Grandma turned to look the man up and down appreciatively.
Grace blushed all the way to her toes. “Grandma,” she whispered scoldingly.
