The Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook asks its members to share six sentence snippets from their work each weekend. Check out the group's Facebook page to read all the snippets and add lots of great books to your TBR. You'll find all sorts of books with the common thread that the main character identifies as LGBTQ.
For December, I'm sharing snippets from The Merchant's Love. I haven't written a holiday romance (yet), but this one is as close I have. It's a cozy story of a bookish royal and a sweet merchant who become friends and fall in love over books and baked goods as fall turns to winter and the winter holiday arrives in Tournai. There's a bit of magic gone wrong too, but it's honestly a warm hug in book form. This snippet follows directly after last week's.

Faelen would have liked the kiss to be a little less brief, but they were in the middle of the street. It still warmed him down to his toes, better even than the treat he’d indulged in on the walk over. Faelen couldn’t even care that they were in people’s way; he was far too happy—too light—just to be with Maxen. He’d seen Maxen two days ago, exchanged notes with him over the time they hadn’t been together, and yet he was soaring to be with him again.
“What do you have there? Something sweet?”
“Not this time. Chestnuts. Would you like one?” He held up the bag to Maxen, who accepted the offer.
“Well, that really makes it feel like the holiday, doesn’t it?” Maxen said after he finished chewing.
“I was just thinking that.”
