The story

A Christmas Escape

I crashed into a billionaire’s lobby wearing a torn wedding dress.

He’s a silver-fox mogul with a gaze that eats me alive.

Now the viral "Runaway Bride" is trapped in a suite with her savior.

I ran from my cheating fiancé only to trip into Lucas Sterling's arms.

He’s a mountain of muscle and money who rules this lodge with an iron fist.

He should be firing me, but instead, he’s watching my every move.

Every breathy "sir" I whisper makes his lethal control snap.

His hands are too big and his gaze is too hot for my sanity.

My past is knocking at the doors, ready to drag me back to the scandal.

Lucas isn't just protecting his lodge anymore—he’s claiming me.

When my secret breaks, will he be my hero or my ruin?

This is a dirty, high-heat age-gap Christmas novella you can devour in one sitting—perfect for when you crave a runaway bride, boss/employee tension, and forced proximity in a luxury lodge.

No cheating or filler drama, just an obsessive “you’re mine” billionaire, a shared suite, and a first time that turns a viral scandal into forever.

Grab Part 3 of the Pine Valley Christmas Series and check into the lodge today.

Lucas, the billionaire lodge owner and Sophia, the runaway bride

Another good addition to this series. After Sophia discovered her fiancé’s infidelity just before her wedding, she leaves him at the altar and runs to escape and ends up at Lucas’s Pine Valley Lodge. Literally falling into his arms. A sweet heartwarming read about an age gap romance with all the feels. I love these quick reads and this series.…
