Merry Christmas!!
*throws mini candy canes into the air*
It’s wonderful to be here again at Love Bytes as we ring in the holiday season!
There’s nothing quite like a homespun Christmas, is there? Sadly, many of us will be Zooming it this year, but the love of the season won’t diminish even if we’re only seeing each other on a viewscreen.
I’m very lucky to live in a small rural community in the northernmost part of Pennsylvania. We usually have lots of cold weather and snow on the big day. We’re also surrounded by woodlands and mountains, so it’s really easy for me to find inspiration for penning Christmas romances! Which is how I find the settings for my Laurel Holidays MM holiday books. It’s as easy as looking out the window to see a deer or two in the yard as the snowflakes fall. I hope that wherever you are this holiday season your heart is full of love and acceptance.
May you and yours have a joyous and safe holiday season! Thanks so much for dropping by.
Hugs,
Vicki

Blurb
Will two complete opposites learn to cross party lines to benefit their beloved hometown and save Christmas?
Evan Griffiths is enjoying his tenure as the mayor of Cedarburg, Pennsylvania. While it may barely be a blip on the state map, it’s where he grew up, and he’s thrilled to be at the helm of the tiny rural community. With the recent election in the past, Evan can focus on his agenda to bring Cedarburg out of the fifties. Being the first gay mayor in the town’s history is a good start but there’s plenty more to do. His first big job is expanding the yearly Christmas Carnival to lure tourists to his fiscally challenged birthplace. Things seem to be moving along at a good pace then a ghost from Christmases past arrives on the morning bus.
As soon as Gideon Pierce returns to Cedarburg he picks up right where he left off back in elementary school—tormenting Evan at every turn. Only this time instead of shoving Evan down on the playground, Gideon is bedeviling him with snippy editorials in the local paper. Gideon is no longer the gangly, bucktoothed kid he used to be. When his gaze keeps touching on Gideon’s mouth and the appreciative fire in his brilliant holly green eyes, Evan finds it harder and harder to keep his mind on witty replies to Gideon’s cutting viewpoints.
USA Today Bestselling Author V.L. Locey – Penning LGBT hockey romance that skates into sinful pleasures.
V.L. Locey loves worn jeans, yoga, belly laughs, walking, reading and writing lusty tales, Greek mythology, Torchwood and Dr. Who, the New York Rangers, comic books, and coffee. (Not necessarily in that order.) She shares her life with her husband, her daughter, one dog, two cats, a pair of geese, far too many chickens, and two steers.
When not writing spicy romances, she enjoys spending her day with her menagerie in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania with a cup of fresh java in one hand and a steamy romance novel in the other.
