Falling for Your Brother's Best Friend

The holiday backdrop adds such warmth, but I wondered how much was planned versus evolving during writing. Did the setting influence the romance more than expected?

It made the characters' chemistry feel more intense, but I also wondered if it sometimes overshadowed character development. Was that intentional?

The quick pace kept things light and fun, but I’m curious if the story was always meant to be brief or if it grew into a novella naturally.
