But what if Yùlán isn't content with their story as-is? What if their happiness together was a little more like their reimaginings of old stories than anticipated?The Sweet Spot by Felicia Grossman: Rabbi Alana Berg is not excited for the High Holidays. Her contract is up for renewal, and the board is clear: impress the congregation with her Rosh Hashanah sermon or she'll be replaced. Worse, golden-boy Cantor Jeremy Hirsch already has his contract signed and sealed. When an after-hours run-in leads to a kiss, the two decide that some sweet exploration of their mutual attraction is in order. As the New Year draws near, the two must decide if there is a personal and professional future for them both.

From four beloved writers—Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor, and Erica Ridley—come four original stories that tell a hilarious tale of a Christmas house party that serves up love and scandal in equal measure! The Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry is famous throughout the British Isles for its plays, dancing, magical grotto… not to mention scandals leading to the marriage licenses he hands out like confetti. But not everyone welcomes a visit from Cupid. Lady Cressida, the duke’s daughter, is too busy managing the entertainments—and besides, her own father has called her dowdy. Her cousin, Lady Isabelle Wilkshire, is directing Cinderella and has no interest in marriage. Lady Caroline Whitmore is already (unhappily) married; the fact that she and her estranged husband have to pretend to be together just makes her dread the party all the more. But not as much as Miss Louisa Harcourt, whose mother bluntly tells her that this is her last chance to escape the horrors of being an old maid. A house party so large that mothers lose track of their charges leads to a delightful, seductive quartet of stories that you will savor for the Season!
