Award-winning songwriter, Maven Young, wanted to get away for the holiday. After switching up plans, which she initially expected to spend alone in a Miami hotel suite, she's on her way to a Colorado cabin in the woods to be with her friends. She's prepared to see the occasional wandering wildlife. What she doesn't prepare for is seeing her ex. Hotshot A&R, Kai Avery, is eager to charter a private flight to a Caribbean island in anticipation of escaping the frostiness of the holidays in the city. But at the insistence of his best friend, he's changed flight plans, opting for a little R&R in front of a toasty fireplace. While he's expecting to stay warm by the glow of a fire, nothing can prepare him for the blaze from his past that will smoke his plans.This Christmas, old flames, Maven and Kai, will learn once and for all if the embers from their past union can help rekindle a romance neither one of them saw coming. Or will they only end up getting burned? Brookelyn wrote her first short story when she was a sophomore in high school. Back then she discovered how using her experience as a teen living in Brooklyn to create romantic shorts was just as exciting to her as retail shopping and going on dates. After starting her first semester of college two years later, Brookelyn's creative writing became more of a hobby and something to do to escape the stress of midterms and finals. Now in her 30s as a freelance writer, penning short stories and novellas is her everything. While her experience with writing has evolved for the better, her undying love for creating fiction remains unchanged. When she's not freelancing, doing yoga, or showing her husband and toddler lots of love, she can be found sitting at her computer desk, with her legs folded, and a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) in one hand as she types or edits her latest sexy short or novella.
