Every holiday I ate alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Not this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>An idea came to me. I wanted a delicious Christmas meal and some conversation too. So, I sent an e-vite to our newsletter subscribers, explaining that I was hosting a Lonely Hearts Christmas Dinner. But I messed up, forgetting to limit the number of guests. Of course, I didn&#8217;t expect more than a handful of people to be interested.<\/p>\n<p>When I discovered my mistake fifty-seven people had RSVPed. I now had to figure out a menu for nearly sixty while thwarting a mini breakdown. What had I gotten myself into?<\/p>\n<p>\u2605<span class=\"a-text-bold\">Girard&nbsp;<\/span>\u2605<\/p>\n<p>I wandered into Marilee\u2019s office wondering what all the commotion was about. Our GM was a lot of things: Smart, funny, and exceedingly beautiful. What she wasn\u2019t, what she\u2019d never been, was prone to irrational freakouts. So when she told me she\u2019d overbooked this little Lonely Hearts Christmas shindig she\u2019d planned, I knew exactly what I needed to do. Offer my help. After all, I had no place to be on Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>We spent hours crafting a menu, taste-testing new recipes, selecting the perfect wines, and reconfiguring seating to accommodate the large group while still making it feel homey. Banquet table. Lots of candles. Somehow all came together.<\/p>\n<p>Something else came together too. I grew real feelings for Marilee and I suspected she had feelings for me. Now I had to make her own up to them. When things got hot in the kitchen, it made me decide, Marilee you got to stay with me, because baby, it\u2019s cold outside.<\/p>\n<p>Sound like your kind of book? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08H6PCR5Z\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get your copy on Amazon now!<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[columns] [span9] PREMADE BOOK COVER BABY, IT&#8217;S COLD OUTSIDE We had a great time working with Sarah Zolton Arthur on her Holiday Bites novels.
