Release Blitz: Noel I Won't: DJ Jamison
When my first head chef gig implodes and I find out my dad has a health crisis, I go home for the holidays.
Only to find the lovable farmboy next door has moved in.
He's helping my parents run our family's Christmas tree farm. Has moved into my house. Has seemingly *replaced* me.
He may be gorgeous and a hard worker and even sweet when he wants to be, but I can't step aside for him. Can't let my parents continue to struggle with the farm.
Not even when we find new life for the farm--and for me as a chef.
Not even when Hopper warms my bed every night.
I might be falling in love--with Hopper, with my hometown, with a life I could never envision when I was eighteen and desperate to leave. But I vowed long ago that I'd never be happy in small-town Nebraska.
But when Hopper asks me not to leave him, what can I say except...
Noel I Won't.

Noel Grisold has been living life in the city and was doing his dream job as a head chef in a fancy restaurant in Chicago, but then his life took a turn. He hasn’t been home for years, but under the circumstances, he decides he needs to go home.
But he finds out that the jock he knew in high school has now been acting as a surrogate son to his parents. Hopper Kelly lost his mom and his dad is unreliable, so they lost his family farm and he’s been helping to run the Grisold farm. He’s been there when they needed someone, and their son was not. He is a big, burly lumbersnack.
But now that Noel is home, they’re both feeling a little bit displaced as the biological son and surrogate son, and have a bit of rivalry. But the more time they spend together, the more they’re realizing that neither of them has bad ulterior motives. They both care about the farm and Noel's parents. They have amazing chemistry, and actually like sharing things together. And the town Noel left is a bit more progressive than the one he left a long time ago.
Noel still has his big dreams and never planned to stay, and Hopper never wants to leave. Will they be able to find a way that they can both be happy and fulfilled?
This is a sweet, passionate, opposites-attract, coming-home, holiday story with a lot of heart and just enough tension and heat. There are a lot of cameos that fans of this author will probably recognize (I only knew the ones from Christmas Falls), but they added a sense of community and more love and friendship to the story. This was a sweet, delightful holiday treat.
