Meet & Greet with Carla Luna
2024-12-01 12:00 - 15:00 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
If your secret vice is to watch those Hallmark holiday romance movies this time of year, you cannot miss the newest book from local romance author Carla Luna!
In the first of the Dutchess Hotel Series, it has fake-dating, holiday romance, friends-to-lovers, a pinch of spice, and a swoon-worthy Santa.
Carla Luna will be at Blue House Books on Sunday, December 1st, from noon to 3 p.m. to chat with readers and sign books. Whether you are buying this book for yourself or a loved one, it is the perfect book to commence the Holiday season. We hope to see you there!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Have yourself a merry little fauxmance—with a dashing Santa who just might make it real.
Rosie Gonzalez isn’t having a wonderful Christmas time. Not when she’s at risk of losing her job as assistant manager of the Duchess—Victoria’s oldest boutique hotel. If she and her team can’t bring in more guests by the end of December, she’ll be let go. Adding to her stress is a calendar filled with family gatherings where her mom will inevitably nag her for still being single.
Drew Richardson isn’t faring much better. As if working alongside his ex at Northlife Fitness wasn’t bad enough, now she’s invited him to her December wedding. And since all his coworkers will be there, bailing isn’t an option. To get through it, he’ll need a plus-one for moral support.
So, when Rosie recruits him to play Santa for her hotel’s activities, he also proposes a fake-dating scheme to benefit them both. Just for the holidays—nothing more. But as things between them turn from nice to naughty, they’ll have to decide whether a real relationship could be the best Christmas gift of all.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Carla Luna writes contemporary romance with a dollop of humor and a pinch of spice. A former archaeologist, she still dreams of traveling to far-off places and channels that wanderlust into the settings of her stories. Her books have been called “escape reads,” ideal for perusing during a beachside vacation, a long flight, or a relaxing weekend at the lake.
When she’s not writing, she spends her time reading, baking, and taking long walks while listening to pop culture podcasts. Carla is of Mexican-American descent, with roots in Los Angeles and Vancouver Island, but she currently resides in Cedarburg, Wisconsin with her family and her feisty Siberian cat.
