Today on the site I’m delighted to reveal the cover of Crashing into Christmas by Mara Lovelle, a lesbian holiday romance novella releasing November 4th! Here’s the story.
“She hit me with her car. We’re taking it slow.”
After a grueling shift at the ER, all Morgan Gatlin wants is to go home—easier said than done in the worst snowstorm to hit New York City in years. One moment, she’s ignoring the Christmas nonsense the radio bombards her with, the next, she’s crashing bumper-first into unsuspecting pedestrian Elena Solorzano.
Guilt-stricken, Morgan rushes Elena to the hospital, and, when the storm shuts off Elena’s way to get home, Morgan offers her a place to stay.
What starts as an attempt to ease her conscience snowballs into something softer. Elena is warm, easy to talk to, and far too good at seeing what Morgan’s been running from for years. As Morgan’s guard melts, she is forced to make a choice: open her heart and risk loss again, or keep hiding in her lonely world.
Here’s the adorable cover, designed by Ivanna Nashkolna!

Roan Parrish lives in Philadelphia, where she is gradually attempting to write love stories in every genre. When not writing, she can usually be found cutting her friends’ hair, meandering through whatever city she’s in while listening to torch songs and melodic death metal, or cooking overly elaborate meals. She loves bonfires, winter beaches, minor chord harmonies, and self-tattooing. One time she may or may not have baked a six-layer chocolate cake and then thrown it out the window in a fit of pique.
Samantha Evans, popular lesbian romance author, has writer’s block and a book due by New Year’s Eve. When she signs up for a writing retreat in an attempt to overcome her lack of creativity, she expects a single-occupancy cabin and plenty of silence for crafting her new book.
