ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
BY POPPY PARKES

Can the wounded mountain man save his holiday angel before it’s too late?

All Cookie wants for Christmas is to be left the hell alone. She never expected that winning a high-profile reality baking show would mean constantly being followed by paparazzi willing to do anything to get a piece of her. She runs to Heartwood, Montana, hoping that the small mountain town will be the escape she needs.

All Graham wants for Christmas is for the darkness in his past to quit haunting him. When disaster struck two years ago, he returned to the mountains above his childhood home of Heartwood, searching for peace but never quite finding it.

When the two slide into each other one snowy day, neither can resist the idea that maybe all they really need for Christmas is each other, ’til death do them part.

Then a stalker finds Cookie and starts leaving threats on her doorstep. Graham is determined to do whatever it takes to protect his woman and the heart-healing happiness they’ve found in each other’s arms.

But will it be enough?

All I Want For Christmas is an over-the-top steamy standalone instalove story sure to start your holiday season off with a sparkle!

I want a future with her, and I’ll move heaven and earth to make this ball of sunshine mine.

He loves me with complete devotion and when he saves me from certain death, I realize I can’t stay away from him. But will I be safe if I give him my heart?

Sparks fly when a wounded soldier and sunshiny songbird make sweet music together, but will it be enough to get them to the altar in time for Christmas? Steamy, sweet, safe, short romance, no OM/OW drama, no triggers, HEA guaranteed.

ALL MY CHRISTMASES
BY AJ ALEXANDER

I don’t do Christmas. I’d even go as far as to say I hate it.

But when my baby sister asks me to walk her down the aisle on Christmas Eve, I can’t say no. So, instead of soaking up the sun on a remote island, I’m freezing my ass off, surrounded by mountains of snow.

What I didn’t expect was for my baby sister’s best friend to turn into a curvy snow bunny. She’s too young, too innocent, and too good for the likes of me.

But no matter how hard I try, Noelle Eden has thawed my ice cold heart.

I didn’t come here looking for love, but I plan to ensure that the rest of my Christmases from now until forever are with her.

SLEIGH BELL BABY
BY DEE ELLIS

A MOUNTAINTOP CHRISTMAS

MERRY LITTLE WEDDING
BY TARIN LEX

My bestie is ‘falling in love’ after date number two…
That means it’s bullsh!t, right?
That’s what I think until I meet the man of my dreams—
With said bestie in tow—
At my fake bachelorette party.
We’re just here for an innocent, fun time.
Okay, and the free drinks don’t hurt…
When the nightclub’s hot owner (aka “man of my dreams”) discovers our ruse, I fully expect him to kick us out.
Or at least make us pay for our drinks.
Instead he invites me to a real wedding.
And the one after that—I just know—is going to be ours.

When December gets cold—crank up the romance!
Aurora & Boone aren’t looking for “love or whatever.”
It finds them. 😉
But you can eighty-six the mistletoe, babe…
Cuz these two are headed straight for bed. ❤
Kisses, Tarin

STASIA BLACK

STASIA BLACK grew up in Texas, recently spent a freezing five-year stint in Minnesota, and now is happily planted in sunny California, which she will never, ever leave.
She loves writing, reading, listening to podcasts, and has recently taken up biking after a twenty-year sabbatical (and has the bumps and bruises to prove it). She lives with her own personal cheerleader, aka, her handsome husband, and their teenage son. Wow. Typing that makes her feel old. And writing about herself in the third person makes her feel a little like a nutjob, but ahem! Where were we?
Stasia’s drawn to romantic stories that don’t take the easy way out. She wants to see beneath people’s veneer and poke into their dark places, their twisted motives, and their deepest desires. Basically, she wants to create characters that make readers alternately laugh, cry ugly tears, want to toss their kindles across the room, and then declare they have a new FBB (forever book boyfriend).

LUMBER SNACK 
BY MAE HARDEN

On the first day of Christmas, I climbed my true love’s tree…

Dear Santa,

After everything I’ve been through this year, I think we can both agree that I deserve something special in my stocking this Christmas. And the burly, axe-toting, mountain man that just rescued me from an icy death sure fits the bill. At least, he would if he could pull that spruce tree out of his back chimney.

I’ve always been the nice girl, but all it’s ever gotten me is a cheating ex, a closet full of bridesmaid dresses, and one lonely Christmas after another. Maybe it’s time to try the naughty list…

Love,
Millie Partridge

Dear Santa,

I know I said I wanted to meet a woman. I just wasn’t expecting to find her in my pear tree. And yeah, I shouldn’t complain about getting snowed in with my sexy little trespasser, but it’s getting hard to keep my head on straight when she’s near.

Despite the off-key caroling, the baking disasters, and that one modest house fire, Millie Partridge is growing on me like a sexy little piece of mistletoe. I’m trying to keep it cool, but if she knew all the things I’ve been thinking, it might lead to a not-so-silent night and more than one thing getting laid under my Christmas tree…

Send help,
Sam Barnes

MERRY CHRIST-MESS 
BY DEE ELLIS

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love came to be my best friend

Mila Masters has her life figured out. Writing splashy stories by day while she writes dirty ditties at night, she knows better to want for more. Unless it’s the love and adoration it seems everyone else is finding. Sweet, forever after love is for romance books, not real life.

Or maybe she has had the best book boyfriend right in front of her.

Micah Townes busted his ass to get his life right. A troubled youth means he takes nothing for granted. Especially the most important person in his life, Mila. Even if he wants more from her, he knows not to ask at the risk of losing her.

A double date raises the stakes of their friendship—which maybe is not just a friendship after all.

A VERY PIERCED CHRISTMAS
BY EMBER DAVIS

On the fifth day of Christmas…he has rings in all the right places.

ROWAN
After years of traveling for my blog, seeing more of the world than I ever thought I would, there’s something tugging me home for more than just the holidays. I have no idea what it is, other than some sort of delayed homesickness, until I meet Levi Michaels.

I’ve been talking to him via text and email about a custom motorcycle for my brother, but I had no idea I’d be meeting the sexiest guy ever when I go to pick it up. Talk about bad boy biker vibes. He’s got a beard I want rubbed all over my body even if he is a Grinch. When we meet, I swear I hear carolers singing, but something makes him go colder than the North Pole.

Maybe he’s not a reason to stay. Maybe he’s a reason to keep traveling.

LEVI
Anyone who tells you Christmas is the best time of the year is a liar and should be watched with great suspicion. It’s true. How can the big man in red even be trusted? Delivering gifts around the world reeks of conman.

When I meet Rowan Peters, I can feel a little bit of holiday cheer filter in for the first time in years. She’s a Christmas miracle if I’ve ever seen one, all sinful curves I want to lean into. Then I find out the motorcycle I’ve been working on for her is really for a man. It must be her husband. Somehow the lights, even the twinkly ones, dim with the knowledge that she’ll never be mine.

When I’m set straight, the only thing to do is go after my woman and show her one of my golden rings is just for her.

If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Meet Levi in Healing Her Home (Banks Ink. Book 5).

DELAY OF GAME BY
EVIE GRAHAM

On the sixth day of Christmas, the geese aren’t the only thing a-laying…

Patrick O’Reilly is known for two things. His skills on the ice and his skill off the ice. When an injury forces him to retire, he does the only thing that makes sense; he packs his wounded pride and his bags, and leaves the memories behind.

Lorelei Cole thought she had everything together. Her Christmas Tree Farm was holding its own, and her flock of rescue animals was growing. Then, two pink lines showed up from a one-night stand and everything changed.

When a chance encounter at a small-town gas station brings Patrick and Lorelei back together, neither can deny that their past has collided with their future. Through ups and downs and a hard-won friendship with a flock of geese, both of them will find that the best miracles do come at Christmas time.

OFF THE MARKET AT CHRISTMAS
BY CHELLE SLOAN

On the ninth day of Christmas, I was asked out on the Jumbotron…

The saying goes that nice guys finish last.

The more accurate statement is that nice guys and nerds finish last.

We don’t get the girl. We don’t get the happily ever after. Even if it is the one thing we’ve asked for from Santa Claus this Christmas.

So when Presley Dawson comes back into my life after twenty years, I don’t even try. What’s the point? As a Nashville Fury cheerleader, she is the fantasy of every man in Tennessee. What would the girl next door from my childhood want with a geek like me?

She’s outgoing. I’d rather stay inside. She’s adventurous. I think adventure comes in the form of a new video game.

We have nothing in common.

Except when we’re together. Then there are enough sparks to guide Santa’s sleigh without Rudolph.

But when she finds out that I never outgrew my geek phase, will she still want me? Or will our story be over before the ball drops at midnight?

BACHELOR #10
BY KAT BAXTER

Remember going to a bachelor charity auction and bidding on the sexy Scottish bad boy of soccer for your supermodel boss from hell? But the press got it wrong and think you’re the one who spending a ridiculous amount of money to go on a date with him?

No? Right, that was me. Seriously, how is this my life?

Now because of some PR nightmare he’s in, Abbott and I are stuck going on a date of convenience. Because who doesn’t want to root for the hot jock and the awkward chubby girl? My boss is so angry she’s threatening to actually chew celery instead of simply drinking it, and I’m convinced there is not enough coffee in the world to make Mr. Grumpy Pants smile.

But something suspicious and confusing happens on our date…we have fun. And we kiss. A lot. That brogue of his talks me right out of my knickers, so do I believe him when he says this is real? Or is this all one big publicity stunt?

Exclusive Excerpt:

“How did your date go, little brother?” Patrick asked. “Good,” I replied, eyeing the food Ian was cooking. Sampling deli meat and cheese wasn’t enough when the kitchen was starting to smell like a steakhouse. “I’m trying not to think about her too much.” “Why’s that?” I shook my head, fingers drumming against the kitchen bar. “I thought she’d be fucking timid.” Emilia Porter was the opposite. Wary and easily frightened, sure, but that was understandable. Her quick wit and feistiness, however…? I’d had no clue I’d crave it like an addict. I was already looking forward to our next date, which she’d agreed to reluctantly. I had her in the palm of my hand, though she took every opportunity to bite my fingers. It was sexy as hell. Something far less sexy was her comment about her own mother. “She said something weird last night,” I admitted. “She thinks her mother is dead.” “That’s fucked up.” Patrick frowned. “Did her pop make her believe that?” “I guess so. I’ll do some digging.” One way or another, I was going to use this to my advantage. “Anyway,” I said, “hand me that, will ya?” I nodded at the box farther down the counter. Patrick complied, and I dug out the new phone. It was a gift to Emilia. I just had to prepare it a bit before sending it to her. For one, I wanted it synced with my laptop so I could access her texts and phone history and see what apps she downloaded. For two, I had to install a call distorter so our friends at the NSA and the FBI didn’t get any ideas. * Someone rudely interrupted me by knocking on the door and then entering before I could even tell them to fuck off. It was Patrick and Kellan with snacks and a couple six-packs of beer. “Have you done anything?” Patrick stared at the state of my living room. “I’ve been busy,” I said defensively. Closing my laptop, I left it on the coffee table, something I’d actually assembled earlier. “The plastic’s still on the couch, mate.” Kellan snorted and crossed the living room to reach the kitchen. “That’s ’cause you spill, Agent Caldwell!” I called after him, and he laughed. Then I faced my brother. “The stalking has paid off again. The girls are texting, and Sarah mentioned being in the mood for Chinese.” His forehead creased. “So?” For fuck’s sake. “So take her out, numbskull! Call her and say you want Chinese. Bond or some shit.” “Good idea.” He nodded firmly and pulled out his phone. So did I, ’cause I’d waited long enough. At this point, with a phone she’d had less than a couple hours, Emilia had communicated more with her best friend and a fake FBI agent than me, the bloke who’d given her the damn thing. I wanted some attention now.

About the Author:

I’m often awkwardly silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there’s so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex.   There’s a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve. I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.   Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.   I’m a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, cooking, baking, and geeking. There’s time for hockey and family, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

Title: The Bitter Rival
Author: LM Fox
Genre: Contemporary Enemies to Lovers Romance
Release Date: December 9, 2021


BLURB

Sebastian Lee is a self-serving playboy.
Arrogance personified.

There’s no need for clever seduction. He merely circles his prey, just waiting to take a bite.
With his sinfully handsome looks and confidence to match, I’ll take a swim.
It’s just one night, right? This single mom has needs too.

Until suddenly, you discover the surgeon you’re working with is the shark in blue scrubs.
And he doesn’t realize it’s you.

Our explosive connection is no longer limited to the bedroom.
This is not the kind of man you bring home to meet your son. We’ve endured enough.

Yet these are treacherous waters.

Is it purely lust that brings me back for more?

EXCERPT

“Uh, Bella? Why on earth would you come back here with me when you could keep dancing with tall, dark, and fuck me, is he sexy? Jeez, he’s the hottest man I think I’ve ever seen. I almost had an orgasm watching him move his hands all over you. That look on his face. Gah,” she utters, fanning herself.
I can’t possibly find an answer that will appease her, so I simply shrug my shoulders.
She gives me a blank stare, mimicking my ridiculous motion by drawing her shoulders up toward her ears in question. “What is wrong with you? That man is beautiful.”
“Yeah, a little too beautiful.”
“Huh?”
“The way he was looking at me, Bailey, and touching me… I was starting to feel like shark bait,” I reply as I swiftly look toward the bar for a waiter. I need another drink.
“Well, hell, Bella. I’d let him bite me,” she scolds, waggling her brows in my direction.
“Bailes, something tells me if a guy like that takes a bite out of you, you won’t recover.”
The much-needed waiter arrives at our table, and I order refills. I turn my gaze back to the dance floor, not wanting to make eye contact with the shark but to interrupt this conversation. Even if only for a moment.
“How long has it been, Bella?”
The question catches me off guard. Not sure why it should, as I’ve never kept anything from Bailey. I make eye contact with her but avoid answering the question. I’m embarrassed to admit it’s been way too long.
“Bella? You said earlier you needed some hot and dirty. Well, I bet it doesn’t come any hotter or dirtier than that guy.”
The conversation stops as the waiter returns with our drinks. I slide him enough cash to cover the cocktails, including a generous tip and quickly take a sip. Oh, that’s good.
Bailey takes a sip of her drink and leans across the table to whisper-shout over the dance music. “He looks like the kinda guy who’d go down on you without asking for anything in return. Like the unicorns you read about in romance novels that’ll eat you out because they’re hot for it.”
“Oh, good lord, Bailey.” I feel my cheeks turn pink at the statement. As long as it’s been since I’ve had sex with a man, it’s been too long to remember when I’ve had oral. Sure, I’ve given a blow job or two, but no one has reciprocated in a very long time. I shake my head briefly before diving into my delicious cocktail once more.
“Look out now, B. It appears the shark is circling the water.” Bailey giggles over her glass.
My eyes flick over my shoulder, making direct contact with the predator in question. His stare is intense. It’s as if he’s trying to send a message through his penetrating gaze. I feel the familiar tingle on my skin from earlier, and arousal stirs between my legs that I haven’t entertained in quite some time.
Realizing I need to get my body under control, I stand to look for the restrooms. “I’ll be back, Bailes. I just need the little girls’ room,” I say before looking in the direction of the front of the club. Maybe splashing some water on my face and neck will put out the fire that wimpy margarita couldn’t douse.
Turning the corner of the dark hallway, I discover the usual line that extends from the ladies’ room. It doesn’t appear long, so I decide to wait a few moments and pull out my phone to check for any missed calls or texts. I haven’t investigated this long before sensing an unmistakable aura behind me, causing me to pull the phone into my chest in alarm. My breath catches and my eyes flutter closed as the feeling of warm air dances over my left shoulder, neck, and ear. Again, I feel my goose bumped flesh betray me.
“Yes.” I feel the heat of the exhale tickling along my nape as a deep, masculine voice floats down my ear—the rich tone of his speech causing everything to tingle. No longer limited to the skin of my arms, my pimpled flesh alive with excitement, it now appears my nipples have joined the party.
I dig my heels in, keeping my back to him. “I’m sorry. I don’t remember asking you anything.” I try to deliver my retort with a flat affect, knowing full well there’s a tremble to my voice.
“You didn’t. But I believe your friend did.”
Unable to decipher this riddle, I rotate to stare up at this intoxicating man. “Friend?”
“The pretty girl you’re with tonight,” he croons. Avoiding eye contact, I attempt to focus on his strong jaw. Big mistake. That dimple is going to need a nap for all the effort it’s put forth this evening.
“Ah, you mean my sister,” I correct. Not sure why I’ve shared this, as it’s none of his concern who I’m with.
“So, yes. To your sister’s question, then.”
I shoot him a blank look, baffled by this conversation.
“Yes. I’d love to eat your pussy.”

EXCERPT

“How do you know it’s our first date?” she hissed.
“I did my homework.”
“Am I supposed to believe that you’re keeping tabs on me Ty?” she whispered, and her green eyes locked with mine. Her lips parted, but I was pretty sure she was holding her breath.
“Believe whatever the fuck you want to believe. I’ve been keeping tabs on you since the day I left. I heard you go on a lot of first dates.”
She tugged her hands away from me and shoved at my chest.
“No, Ty. You don’t get to come here and complicate my life. I have a date with a doctor tomorrow, and I intend to keep it. Now if you’ll excuse me.” She patted down her fitted pencil skirt that was driving me mad the way it hugged her curves perfectly, before straightening the collar on her white button up. Her hand moved to her chest, and she grasped the little gold heart that hung on the chain.
“Glad to see you still wear the necklace I gave you.”
She cleared her throat and narrowed her gaze. “It’s my lucky necklace. I couldn’t very well throw it away just because you bother me, could I? You need to go.”
“What if I don’t want to?”
She moved to her desk and glared at me before picking up her phone. “Please have security escort Mr. Greene out of my office. Our meeting is adjourned.”
Adjourned? My girl always had a flair for the dramatics. And I fucking loved it.
Missed it every day since the last time I saw her.
Kathleen Pompy opened the door and smiled. She had lived next door to my family up until the time my father imploded our lives. She was in her mid-fifties and I’d always liked her.
“Uh, I’m guessing I’m security?” she asked with a wince before winking at me.
“Don’t wink at him. He’s being escorted out of the building.” Ivy folded her arms over her chest and Kathleen and I both laughed.
I reached across her desk for her phone, finding my name and unblocking my number as she gasped and huffed. “I’m leaving. But I may need to reach you to discuss the budget as well as the details of this wedding. On a professional level.”
She yanked the phone out of my hand, and I didn’t miss the zip of electricity that buzzed through my body as her fingers grazed mine.
It had always been there, and time hadn’t changed a damn thing.

EXCERPT

Dash had planned to take Liz to a cute Italian restaurant with low lighting and a romantic atmosphere. He’d wanted them to have a normal vanilla evening of getting to know one another. His intentions were pure. Drumming his fingers on the steering wheel of his truck, he bopped his head to the beat of Black Betty by Ram Jam, doing his best to hide the disappointment in himself. She’d deserved a better date—first date.
But she answered the door in that threadbare robe, wearing the hottest fucking bra and panty set he’d ever seen. He was just a man, and not a good one at that. His little vixen knew exactly what she’d done, and he was nothing if not accommodating with his partners. So, he’d come up with something on the fly.
And fly they did if he wanted to get any sort of food in her. The speed limits on these roads were merely a suggestion this time of night anyway, right?
Unfortunately, the time it took to get her prepped, dressed, and for her to do whatever it was she did with her hair, meant that their choices for dinner dwindled. He wanted to take her somewhere nicer, but the Broken Spoke seemed their only option now.
Owned by the club, he knew he’d get no flack for wanting food this late. It also meant his brothers would be there. Pulling up to the Spoke in a cage, instead of his Road King, meant his brothers would notice.
Hell, they’d notice because Liz was a fucking hot redhead. It didn’t matter what he drove to get there. Blondes were a dime a dozen, but fiery bitches—they were hard to come by. Add to it, he didn’t have her on his bike—they’d think he wasn’t serious about her. Was he?
Fuck him running. He normally prided himself on his ability to plan. He swerved to hit yet another pothole just to hear her groan as the plug shifted in her ass, and to prove to himself that yes, he did in fact plan shit. But he realized he may have made the wrong decision when it came to which vehicle he’d chosen. Taking her to the Spoke meant exposing her to the club.
Sure, she’d been at the funeral, but with all the people there, she was written off as just another citizen. Showing up at the Spoke with him—yeah, they’d notice. Not to mention, she’d notice the colors. They hadn’t exactly spoken about his club involvement. He screwed himself for sure.
With his hand on her thigh, he felt the muscles in her leg tightening as she squeezed. It sparked a grin. The plug had worked. Since she wasn’t all that experienced with ass play, he knew he’d have to get it out soon. Which was why he’d insisted on her bringing a large purse.
They pulled into the half-paved and half-gravel lot. He immediately counted the bikes and noted the prospect at the door. Romeo’s and Mittens’ bikes stood out against the rest. Shouldn’t his brothers be on their way home? Too late to turn back now.
“Sorry it’s not a nicer place.” He patted her leg. “Plans had to be adjusted.” He grinned because he wasn’t about to apologize for why they’d had to adjust plans. “Next time.”
Her pale blue eyes rimmed with arousal from having hit every bump on the way there. Though, he suspected there was a post-orgasmic glow there as well. It looked good on her, and the half chub in his pants persisted.
“I’m sure it’s fine.” A sultry smile spread across her lips.
That did nothing to ease the strain in his jeans. Truly a minx, he’d never be convinced she didn’t know exactly what she did to him.

Begin a brand-new series from award-winning author Mary Oldham—two friends become lovers in book one of the Hotel Baron’s Series—a whirlwind office romance where the boss is never right… A Paris Affair

From Paris to Portland, their journey is heartfelt as the search for true love knows no bounds.
Daisy has never known the unconditional love of a traditional family. It’s not that she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after. She’s just not so sure she’ll ever find it. But that’s the least of her concerns right now—if Daisy doesn’t land a job, she’ll have much more to deal with than just finding work. Fortunately, the stars are aligned. She lands her dream job and quite possibly her dream man too…except he’s her boss. And she’s totally against office romance for reasons only her mother knows. But she can’t seem to keep away—
Alex doesn’t believe in love at first sight. He doesn’t tolerate employee fraternization of any sort. When they first met, he found her delightful and someone he could imagine a future with—but then he’d hired her. She was his subordinate, and she was strictly off-limits. At least that’s what he’s been telling himself…over and over and over and over.
As they grow closer, they discover a mutual attraction that won’t quit. But, will Daisy get her HEA? Does Alex realize their love is real?
