Christmas Cancellation by Evie James
She’s a panicked passenger. He’s the pilot who rescues her. Will a snow apocalypse melt into steamy goodness or freeze on contact?
Noelle Nichols’ life is a sleigh ride heading for a cliff. After her aunt’s tragic accident and boyfriend’s cruel betrayal, the twenty-six-year-old workaholic is now jobless, single, and desperate to make it back to her hometown. If she doesn’t claim her inheritance by Christmas Eve, Eve—she’ll lose it all. And it only gets worse when a snowstorm throws her plans into the kind of madness only New York winters and canceled flights can bring.
Captain Kol Vinter can’t help but overhear the distraught blonde beauty’s rage-filled rant and doesn’t hesitate to defend his airline and shut her down. Yet when he catches her wishing she’d never been born, the valiant vet can’t walk away and instead reluctantly makes her an offer that could change both their lives: a one-way trip to Saratoga Springs, the quintessential Christmas town that’s lost all its magic for Noelle.
Annoyingly, Noelle realizes he’s the only person who can help her get home. But Kol isn’t your typical holiday hero—he’s got scars of his own and walls he’s not keen to let down. And as Kol struggles to navigate the growing winter storm, he finds ignoring his desire for the down-on-her-luck spitfire harder than keeping the car on the road.
He may be a grumpy “guardian angel,” but what if he’s exactly who Noelle’s been waiting for? Will Kol’s protective heart and smoldering presence be enough to remind her that life—even when it’s messy and shadowed by loss—can still be wonderful?
