Joy to Noel

Tracy Baack

There's an expiration date to their proximity. Is that enough to extinguish the explosive chemistry between them?

Madison Wheeler is the definition of a responsible adult, living and working in Kansas City-right up until her life implodes. Convinced by her best friend Clara, she retreats to the small town of Noel for a reset. If Clara's Christmas spirit managed to save the town last year, maybe that same magic could rescue Madison's unraveling future.

Liam Park is sent to Noel for a short-term work assignment, and he is not happy about the destination. When he crosses paths with Madison, he's intrigued by the sassy woman who doesn't back down from a good verbal sparring. But Liam refuses to truly open up to a temporary acquaintance. He refuses to open up to anyone.

Despite their attempts to maintain distance, the fiery tension between them only grows. Will they ultimately push each other away or embrace the pull they can't deny?

Joy to Noel is a small town Christmas romance. Readers who enjoy sassy banter, holiday vibes, and a hefty dose of forced proximity will enjoy this story. You'll find all the swoon with no spice in this closed-door contemporary romance.

This is the second book in the "Christmas in Noel" series. While written as a standalone, reading the books in order will provide the best reader experience.
