SWEET AND SPICY ROMANCE
Josie
What was supposed to be a quick stop in Timber Forge to visit my best friend on my way home for Christmas turns into being stranded on a snowy mountain pass—with no help in sight. Until headlights cut through the storm.
Quiet, steady, and built like a tree, Jasper offers me shelter. Now I’m snowed in, wrapped in his flannel in front of the fire, trying not to imagine what else might warm me up.
As the storm rages outside, each laugh and stolen glance makes my pulse race—and leaves me wondering if some things—like Jasper—are worth staying for.
Jasper
High above Timber Forge, my family’s cabin on the ridge has been my refuge—a place to escape loss, disappointment, and the noise of the world. I’ve built my life around quiet routines and the safety of solitude, convinced I don’t need anyone.
Then Josie shows up, stranded in the storm, full of light and laughter, and determined to bring back Christmas. She’s thawing my defenses one smile at a time, making me wonder if it’s possible to hope again.
Every second I spend with her makes it harder to imagine letting her go. I remember the silence before her—and I’m not sure I want to live in it again.

Ginger
I don’t have room in my life for a man like Hutch Hayes.
Not when I’ve got twins to raise, a business to run, and zero margin for chaos.
He’s lost in the wreckage of his past, still bleeding from wounds no one can see.
But he shows up when it matters. He listens. He sees me.
And the worst part? I see him too.
Not who he was, but who he could be—if he’d let someone in.
And the truth is…
Part of me wants to believe that maybe, just maybe, this time it’s different.
Because if I let him in—if I fall—
I need to know he’s not going to disappear.
Hutch
I don’t do relationships. And forget about feelings.
But then there’s Ginger Westbrook—an anxious single mom with a sharp tongue. She’s all fire and fight, with a fierce ability to get under my skin.
She’s got every reason not to trust me—honestly, I wouldn’t trust me.
But she looks at me like I’m worth something. Like I might be more than the playboy with jokes. I want to be that man for her.
But the past is a shadow I can’t shake, no matter how hard I try.
I don’t know if I can outrun it; but maybe with her, I don’t have to.

Hudson
In order to make a better life for my daughter, I leave behind a successful career in a city I love to return to my hometown of Timber Forge, Montana. Finding myself jobless, restless, and unsure of what my future holds, my best friend, Finnley Jameson, offers us a place to stay. She has never expressed wanting anything more with me, but one emotion-fueled kiss six months ago mixed with the close proximity of sharing a home together is the catalyst for feelings that are decidedly more than friendly.
Finnley
My best friend for nearly twenty years, Hudson Hayes, is home. We've never entertained anything more than friendship, but a middle of the night kiss four days before Christmas spins my world on its axis. Now, that one encounter has me questioning everything. He's back in our hometown, living in my house, and turning my life upside down with sweet gestures and one mind-melting proposition. Suddenly, I'm between what is and what could be, powerless to stop my growing feelings. Am I really willing to risk ruining the truest friendship I've ever had, even if it means losing it forever?

Wrenley
My life is a mess, but when I step inside my childhood home, I feel like I can finally breathe. That is, until I run into him. He's less than thrilled to see me, and the feeling is mutual...at first. It isn't long before history and attraction collide, and somewhere underneath his gruff demeanor and perma-scowl, I see the boy l fell in love with at eighteen. Falling for Hank Hayes a second time was never part of the plan. So, why can't I stop thinking about what could have been?
Hank
It’s been seventeen years since she left me standing on a dirt road with the shredded remains of my heart beating wildly out of my chest. Now, Wrenley Hardcastle is back. And with her presence comes feelings I thought I had long ago dealt with. The woman is everything I’ve ever wanted, but couldn't keep. After all these years, I don't want to want her, but the pull between us is stronger than ever. I don’t do feelings. Not anymore. But if that's true, then why can’t I stay away?

Madison Noelle
Madison Noelle writes small-town romance with big feelings, slow burns, and the kind of love stories that sneak up on you and never let go. Whether it’s a broody cowboy, a cinnamon roll single dad, or a big found family that feels real enough to hug, her characters bring all the heart and heat.
If you like emotionally messy characters, banter that bites and softens, and endings that feel like home, you’re in the right place.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably rearranging her bookshelves for the tenth time, overthinking a text, or bribing herself with a new plant or an iced coffee to finish a draft.
