A December to remember. Christmas Eve in Venice or New Year's Eve in the mountains? While the Munich flatshare kicks off the new year with a murder mystery dinner and no electricity, Jonas on his ski vacation can only think of one thing: Polly. Or rather: her lips. And not everything goes according to plan in Venice either. When the canals freeze over, Cleo, Sofia, and Livia must quickly organize a Christmas celebration in the città d’amore. Similarly chaotic is the scene on Sylt, where the long-awaited wedding of Leni's grandmother takes place. But it's not just the island that makes hearts race – so does Noel van Viet. What Tillie's sister Clementine doesn't know, however, is that he is the son of her boss. And therefore forbidden. Five authors - five stories - endless emotions. Gabriella Santos de Lima, Marina Neumeier, Alexandra Flint, Carolin Wahl, and Kyra Groh write in this anthology about strong protagonists, heartwarming friendships, and festive adventures. In five wintry short stories, New Adult readers can spend the holidays with their favorite Intense protagonists against a romantic backdrop, including Christmas markets, snow flurries, and sliding into the new year.
