Behind the Scenes of The Christmas Dare

11/28/2025

(A glamorous holiday novella full of rivals, dares, and dangerous sparks)


The Christmas Dare: How a Single Spark Started an Entire Series

Every author has a moment when a story arrives fully formed — a whisper, a dare, a spark.
For me, The Christmas Dare was all three.

I knew I wanted a world filled with:

  • glittering high-society events

  • hidden desires behind flawless façades

  • family legacies, secrets, and rivalries

  • heroines who are stronger than they were ever allowed to be

  • and men who are both danger and temptation in one breath

But it all began with a single question:

What if a perfectly-behaved heiress was dared to do the one thing she shouldn’t…
and discovered she loved the feeling of breaking the rules?

That question became Bianca Cerezo.
And the one person bold (and arrogant) enough to tempt her?
Sebastián Cortez.


Why Christmas? Why a Dare?

The holidays are known for beauty, tradition, family expectations…
which makes them the perfect time for a heroine to rebel.

I wanted:

✨ A Christmas Eve gala in Mexico City
✨ Priceless artifacts behind velvet ropes
✨ A rivalry that crackles every time they breathe in the same room
✨ A challenge that feels dangerous, intimate, and wickedly fun

And when Sebastián whispers that dare, Bianca’s entire world shifts.

This novella is not just their beginning —
it’s the moment Bianca discovers the version of herself she was never allowed to be.


A Fast, Sparkling Read You Can Devour Tonight

At around 20,000 words, The Christmas Dare is:

  • bingeable

  • fast-paced

  • addictive

  • filled with tension and stolen moments

It’s designed to be read in one sitting between celebrations, curled up with a warm drink, or late at night when you want something thrilling and romantic.


The Hidden Thread: The Beginning of the High Society Heist Series

Readers often ask:
“Is this a standalone or part of a bigger world?”

This is the beginning of something much bigger.
The Christmas Dare is the first spark in the High Society Heist novellas — each one featuring Bianca as she navigates:

  • glamorous events

  • high-stakes dares

  • holiday chaos

  • and the one man who refuses to stay her rival

This is where it all starts.
