Veteran of Hollow Peak
A Havenstone Romance
He came to Hollow Peak to disappear. She came to start over.
Sullivan is a broken veteran who swears he's bad luck. Tess is sunshine in glasses who keeps knocking on his door.
He's trying to keep her safe — from him. She thinks he's the safest place she's ever been.
One mountain. No escape.
Welcome — I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Fern Fraser, USA Today Bestselling Author and your go-to for steamy stories with heart. Readers tell me they keep coming back for the instalove intensity and the over-the-top protective heroes — and between us, those are exactly the books I love too.
My heroes range from rugged lumberjacks to possessive billionaires, but they all have one thing in common: they fall hard and fast, and they're devoted from the very first moment. Paired with sharp, strong-willed heroines who give as good as they get, they make for the perfect pick-me-up — fast, fun, and guaranteed to leave you grinning.
I write the books I most want to read: low angst, high heat, and endlessly satisfying. So if you're after all the feels in half the time, you've come to the right place.
Life really is too short for boring books.

I've loved all things SciFi since I was a kid, and have a fascination for the planets and stars and the kinds of life that could live out there. So much we don't know, and so many avenues to feed my imagination.

This Christmas, one curvy elf is determined to teach a grumpy lumberjack that he's the whole package!
Nico
I have enough problems trying to save my Christmas tree farm without Holly Carter prancing into my life. She's all sparkle and holiday cheer, while I'm more like fruitcake–dense, unwanted, and better left on the shelf.
Now she's snowed in at my cabin and has my traitor dog switching sides for belly rubs. She keeps eyeing me like I'm the biggest present under the tree, and damn if it isn't making my North Pole stand at attention.
My resistance is melting fast, and soon, I’m making promises that will land us both on Santa's naughty list. Permanently.
Holly
When life hands me lemons, I'm making spiked eggnog and heading back to my hometown. My new boss? Nico Barrett-the burliest Christmas tree farmer this side of the North Pole.
He may be twelve years older and grumpier than a bear with a thorn in his paw, but I've had a crush on this flannel-wearing mountain man since I was wearing training bras.
Sure, my perfect sister dated him first, but she never appreciated how this gentle giant filled out his work shirts. Nico is XXL of pure lumberjack goodness!
He might prefer the company of his dog to people, but this Christmas, I'm ready to show this self-conscious mountain man that his North Pole is exactly what I want for Christmas.
This Christmas, will this grumpy bear find his honey, or will their age gap send their romance straight to the naughty list?
Warning: Features one determined holiday helper with a thing for big packages, one plus-size lumberjack who's about to learn he's someone's perfect gift, and a matchmaking dog who deserves all the treats!
Guaranteed HEA and enough heat to melt the North Pole!
