How about a delicious roasted apple for Christmas?
And Here's Ella's December Romance Release
Butting Heads with Her Mountain Man
by Ella Braeme
This is a heartwarming, small-town romance novella with a heroine who's determined to make her dreams come true, a grumpy mountain man who’s doing his best to keep her at arm’s length, and a nettlesome audience of townspeople buzzing with Christmas cheer, or in Lyle’s case: Christmas scowling. Light steam, HEA, no cheating, standalone.
Could this grinch with his dark frown be the light of her life?
Grace
I need to start afresh in my small hometown. While I am happy to be back in the mountains, the efforts of my hapless family to help me settle in lead to me running zig-zag to avoid further disasters. Being scrutinized by the townsfolk doesn’t help either. Still, I set to work to establish my own accounting business with all the determination that I can muster.
I count myself lucky when I get my first client—only to find out he is as grumpy as they get—and yet, I can't deny the pull I feel towards him.
Lyle
I hate Christmas. And it shows. So I need help keeping my Christmas tree farm afloat. The accountant turns out to be an opinionated lover of all things Holiday. Still, I can't help but feel a spark of attraction for her. An attraction that I have no intention of owning up to.

Excerpt
When I wake up the next morning, I find myself in Lyle’s embrace. This mountain man is a hugger! I snuggle even closer, as I want as much skin-on-skin as I can ever have.
A beam of sunlight casts a splendid shine on Lyle, and I cannot resist touching him. My fingers caress his temple and his cheek. Just as they touch the very corner of his mouth, Lyle turns his head a little and kisses my thumb. My body goes soft in a wave of bliss.
Lyle cranks an eye open and squints at the bright light. “Morning, princess.” His voice is way deeper than usual. Maybe he feels that heavy bliss, too?
