Melting Point: A single dad holiday novella

by Amelia Simone

I’ve handled blizzards, bar fights, and the occasional runaway cow, but getting snowed in with a single dad and his troublemaking kid? Not exactly in my job description.
Yet here I am, stranded at Dallas Lachman’s cabin after returning his son—again—just as the storm of the season rolls in.

Dallas is doing his best, but between the chaos of single fatherhood and the weight of a Christmas without his ex, he’s barely hanging on. The last thing he needs is me underfoot. And the last thing I need is to get too close. I’ve spent years keeping my distance from Campfire’s most eligible bachelors, and I have no intention of changing that now.

But baking cookies with his son, warming up by the fire, and seeing the way Dallas would do anything for his kid? It’s impossible not to melt a little.

And before long, the crackling fire isn’t the only thing sparking between us.

When the snow melts and real life comes rushing back in, I can’t shake the fear that this holiday heat won’t last…

Melting Point was previously published as Let it Snow as part of the Wreck My Halls Anthology. It is a novella in the Campfire Council Series world.
