Let’s start this off with a Christmas romance! Baggage Claim is everything you want for the holidays. It follows Olive Moore, a young woman who has been avoiding her hometown for far too many years.

Fake dating for revenge sounds kinda nice, am I right? In Two Wrongs Make a Right, Liese writes a love story between two people who know they’re not meant to be.
