Mistletoe & Horns

A Cozy-ish Christmas Fantasy Romance
Paige Hernandez just wants to get through the holidays pretending her dead mom’s legacy doesn’t haunt her. Easier said than done when a fae warrior straight out of a Viking fantasy bursts into her small town.
Nickolas isn’t just any fae warrior. Centuries of guarding the portal to the fae world birthed a legend in the human world—Santa Claus. With some convincing, he ropes Paige into a whirlwind scheme to repair the portal before monsters on the other side come through.
The horned warrior is more than a little intrusive. He wrecks Paige’s sanity and threatens to tumble down walls she built up around with the holidays. But the gentle giant just might be the lifeline this small town girl needs this Christmas.
Coming November 7, 2026


About the author
I began my writing journey as a teen scribbling fanfiction in a battered notebook I've long since burned to ashes. As the eldest daughter of Mexican immigrants who wanted to give their children every opportunity to succeed, reading was *highly* encouraged. To say I fell in love with books and stories would be an understatement. My parents could have never predicted the monster they would unleash.
​​​
A big city export, I live in a tiny mountain town in eastern Oklahoma surrounded by a menagerie of dogs and children with my husband who happily goes along with every wild dream.

Many, many thanks to YOU for stopping by and supporting an indie author's habit of woolgathering and spinning worlds out of nouns and adjectives.
