A Christmas Tart (12 Days of Kissmas)

On the third day of Christmas these childhood rivals have perfect chemis-tree!

Patrick Laroux and Maxine Redgrave hate each other. It’s palpable. The whole town knows it. They have been at each other’s throats since their sand castle building days.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that there was a winter, a long time ago, when Max had a secret and Patrick was there for her. They forgot to be hateful and thought maybe, just maybe they were in love….But you know, then it all fell apart.
Until now...
Get ready to watch tension fly and the three french biddies meddle when Max and Patrick reconnect at the Laurent Bakery in Martha's vineyard.

A Christmas Tart is a standalone novella with an HEA, but it features characters from the Universe of all of Lola West's books.
