Introducing the 12 Tropes of Christmas

Six free romcom short stories for my subscribers!

Happy Holidays, romcom lovers! I’m rolling out a holiday special just for you: 12 beloved holiday tropes in six delicious, funny romcom short stories centered on one magical (fictional) block in San Francisco.

All you need to do is subscribe to my newsletter, Rom-Com Ratatouille. Your subscription is free. I send newsletters once a week-ish with romance book reviews and hot takes. In 2026, I’ll be starting my trope-of-the-month club with a fresh story for readers, based on your favorite tropes.

Delicious romcom bonbons of holiday delight

What happens when…

…Jewish Santa meets the woman of his dreams—and has eight dates to convince her to be his girlfriend?

…two rival bakers turn up the heat for Christmas?

…a disaffected billionaire goes undercover as a barista for the holidays and meets an artist who turns his world inside out?

…a fake marriage that ends on Christmas Day has turned real for both women—but they don’t know how to tell each other?

…a grumpy Christmas shop owner hires the holiday’s biggest fan to work with her?

These stories are less spicy than my longer work (not enough room to do the intimate scenes justice in a short story). They include gay, sapphic, and male/female love stories.

Subscribe for free to get all these, plus a bonus epilogue with one more happy ending in a second chance, rock star romantic story.
