Winterstorm Village Books in Order

Winterstorm Village is Diana A Hicks in holiday mode, but not in a sugar-coated way. This is still a romance built on friction, deadlines, and two people who are not exactly delighted to be working together.

The first book introduces Parker Cruz and Rhett Parker in a town that depends on Christmas to keep itself going. Parker is all-in on the season. Rhett is the kind of acting mayor who looks at budgets before ornaments. When Parker's father lands in the hospital and the holiday season starts wobbling, the two of them end up at the center of a very public fake relationship meant to keep the town, and its tourist economy, believing in the magic.

The setting does a lot of work here.

Winterstorm Village is not just a festive backdrop. The town runs on tradition, weather, community gossip, and the idea that Christmas means something real to the people who live there. Budget cuts, wrong turns, and incoming storms matter because the whole place is invested in the season. That gives the romance an extra layer. Parker and Rhett are not just dealing with each other. They are dealing with a town that wants a show, a win, and maybe a little miracle.

So far, the series feels cozy, flirty, and more playful than Hicks's darker books, but it still has real bite. The attraction works because the leads clash first. If you want fake dating, small-town holiday chaos, and a grumpy versus sunshine setup with genuine chemistry, Winterstorm Village is a fun place to start.
