**Q&A with Laura Trentham**
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
I’m not sure I have one! Confession: I don’t find Christmas to be a particularly romantic holiday. Which is why when my publisher asked me write a Christmas story, I put my own spin on it…my couple ends up in the back of a cop car on Christmas Eve:)
Hot Apple Cider
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Santa with my kids, a Scrooge with everyone else! eek
Colored lights!
Sugar Cookies
Family presents on Christmas Eve and Santa comes on Christmas Day
Party
Out of the characters in your book, who is most likely to:
Of course!
I’m not going to say it’s *never* happened…
That’s my hubby’s “job”
No way
I’m too much of a goody-goody
All I can think about with this question is Seinfeld…”Do women know about shrinkage?” “It shrinks?” “Like a frightened turtle.” Lol
**About Laura Trentham**
Laura Trentham was born and raised in a small town in Northwest Tennessee. Although she loved English and reading in high school, she was convinced an English degree equated to starvation! So, she chose the next most logical major – Chemical Engineering- and worked in a hard hat and steel toed boots for several years. Now she lives in South Carolina with her husband and two children. In between school and homework and soccer practices, Laura loves to get lost in another world, whether it’s Regency England or small town Alabama.

A very Cottonbloom Christmas!
Jeremy Whitehurst has tried to leave his bad-boy behavior and tarnished image behind in Alabama for a fresh start in Cottonbloom, Louisiana. Unfortunately, trouble has dogged him across state lines. Stepping up and protecting a young woman from her abusive boyfriend earned him a beat-down and got him fired. Although the thanks in the girl’s dark eyes made it all worth it, he recognizes she’s just a different kind of trouble. A trouble he’s not sure he can stay away from.
One rebellious summer dented Kayla Redmond’s carefree innocence. Now her focus is on completing her associate’s degree for bookkeeping, and no one is going to derail her plans. Unfortunately, her job at Fournette Brothers Designs puts her in the path of the one man who has seen her at her worst, yet his blue eyes don’t judge her. He sees beyond the brokenness inside of her and rouses her wild side once more. But, that’s what got her in trouble in the first place.
Christmas is coming and Kayla’s ready to forgive herself and take a chance. But the holiday has only ever brought heartache to Jeremy. No Christmas miracle kept his mother clean or out of jail. Will one reckless night and some time spent in the back of a cop car be the best present Jeremy’s ever been given?
