Summary

The plot takes place in France in the 19th century as Émile, a progressive young man concerned with social justice, falls in love with Gilberte, the daughter of his neighbor, Monsieur Antoine, Count of Chateaubrun. Monsieur Antoine is a ruined nobleman who had to become a worker in order to survive. Because of that the young couple's relationship is not approved by Émile's father, an authoritarian industrialist who ran a factory in Gargilesse. Émile and Gilberte received the support of a worker, Jean, as well as an eccentric nobleman, the Marquis de Boisguilsbault, who bequeathed his fortune to the couple in order to found an agrarian community. Émile and Gilberte want to put into practice their ideas of social progress in the region fighting for their love in the process.

    Under the mistletoe with my enemy? What else can we do but kiss? 
    A family emergency brings me back to Christmas Falls after running away from the loss of my mother six years ago. Not much has changed, and I don't know if that's a good thing or bad, especially when it seems my high school enemy hasn't gotten over his habit of circling around me. 
    Jett is everything I'm not, so full of confidence like he's never done a single thing wrong in his life. He vibrates life, and I have to admit his presence distracts me from being back in Christmas Falls. What I didn't expect is for him to take all my attention. 
    He'd gotten under my skin back then and he's only dug in deeper since, and I can't let anyone find out how much I love that fact. Now if only he'd stop stealing my heart with his crookedly perfect smiles... 
    Christmas Falls is a multi-author M/M romance series set in a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie.
