Silver Bells and Sabotage: coming December 4th, 2026 (eBook, KU, paperback, audio).

By Jordan Rolsma, Ph.D.

Season’s beatings to all, and to all a good fight. May the best architect win.

Juneau Lavigne has one goal this Christmas season: secure the lead architect position for the BetterBrain medical center expansion, collect the all-expenses-paid vacation that comes with it, and prove she’s more than just another pretty face at Iridium Vale Architecture.

There’s just one tiny problem: Ace Rooney is convinced the victory already belongs to him.

Ace has spent years building his reputation as Iridium Vale’s golden boy. He has no intention of losing his rightful place on the firm’s biggest project of the year, especially to Juneau, the ambitious new hire who challenges him at every turn. Throw in a mysterious third competitor and a rapidly escalating streak of holiday sabotage, and the competition becomes a lot more complicated than either of them expected.

With the Christmas Eve deadline closing in and tensions running high, one sprig of mistletoe could send both Juneau’s and Ace’s carefully laid plans tumbling down.

Silver Bells and Sabotage is a no-spice rivals-to-lovers workplace novella set in Mercury Ridge before the events of Fault Lines.

Only one promotion, Prank war, Witty banter, Nicknames, Rivals to lovers, Mistletoe kisses, Office romance, Mutual pining, He falls harder, Age gap (7 years), Architect MCs, Dual POV
