All I Want Is You By Falon Ballard

Jessica has spent years pouring her dreams of love into her romance novels, creating perfect happily-ever-afters to mend her own broken heart. Ever since her ex-boyfriend Nick became her biggest professional rival, life has felt like a cruel twist of irony. Once a romance writer himself, Nick has since become famous for stories without happy endings—a bitter talent that only highlights the sting of their own failed relationship.

But when a holiday writers’ retreat brings Jess and Nick to the same remote inn just before Christmas, their worlds collide in the worst possible way. A snowstorm forces them into close quarters, and when the inn’s reservation mix-up leaves them sharing a room, tensions flare. Jess is certain this is some twisted form of torture: trapped with her ex, with whom she shares an undeniable yet infuriating chemistry.

Desperate to break through her creative block, Jess begrudgingly teams up with Nick, channeling their frustration and long-standing rivalry into a collaborative story. What starts as a reluctant partnership turns into something deeper as the words flow and old sparks reignite. Jess begins to see past the heartbreak and into the Nick she once loved—the one who might still understand her better than anyone.

But can she trust him again? With Christmas approaching, Jess must decide if Nick is truly the villain of her story—or the hero she’s been waiting for all along. Could her own happily-ever-after be hiding in the last place she expected? 📚❤️
