Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
It all started with a bad little girl and a pair of embroidery scissors... Eighty years ago, she snipped off Krampus' beard and used it to cast a spell on him, leaving him powerless to punish bad children. Now almost no one remembers him or the sting of his birch whip. Two days before Christmas, Moritza stands at her least-favorite grandmother's deathbed, where she learns she's inheriting not only the mean old lady's house, but a small gold charm, which she's warned never to open. Of course, that's the first thing Moritza does, and in the chaos of her grandmother's death, the charm goes missing. Misplaced or stolen by a creepy store Santa who has been lurking around? When a tall, dark, and furry stranger arrives, Moritza would like to believe it's all a sugarplum-induced hallucination. But she can't pretend she's seeing things when Krampus lays his hands and his impossibly long tongue on her. Krampus insists he's there reclaim his property and mete out some long-overdue punishment. When he discovers that the girl who cursed him is dead, and his charm is missing, he's reduced to begging for Moritza's help. Down on his knees in her bedroom, there's something both unseemly and irresistible about Krampus. The horns, the tail, the silky black fur smelling of cloves and oranges... and yes, that lewd, lascivious, and very nimble tongue. O Holy Night.

Spinsterhood has never looked so good, but unfortunately even that won't save Lady Juliette Brooks. Her father's arranged a betrothal for her to a brute of a man. She has one choice left—force the Duke of Kissinger to honor a long ago promise to save her. Grayson Abbot, the Duke of Kissinger, does not want to marry Lady Juliette. He doesn't want to marry anyone. But he did make her a promise, and he doesn't go back on his word… So he reluctantly agrees to run away with her. They set off on an adventure during the Christmastide season. As they race to Scotland they experience delays, cold weather, and a friendship they'd almost forgotten about. Will Juliette finally find out what it's like to be kissed, and in return, win the duke's heart? A Gypsy's Christmas Kiss: Lulia Vasile is the daughter of a Romany princess and an Earl's second son. She grew up playing roles in a traveling theater, performing at county fairs, and has dabbled in fortune telling. She makes no apologies for who she is, and lives life as she pleases. Finley Prescott, the Duke of Clare, doesn't leave his townhouse unless it's necessary. He has responsibilities and people who depend on him. All he wants is to disappear from the world. He doesn't do well in large gatherings and lacks social graces. Fin and Lulia have a history. One that neither one has forgotten. When they meet again they are drawn together. After that chance meeting they share a magical kiss. Along the way they discover that sometimes the one thing a person needs isn't what they would expect. A Vixen's Christmas Kiss: Lady Noelle Abbot is returning home for the Christmastide season after months at a school for unmarriageable ladies. Everything that can go wrong, does. She finds herself stranded at an inn while a storm rages outside, and then the one man she hoped never to see again walks inside.

To make things worse…the vixen he's always found vexing and desirable is a guest as well. What happens will change both their lives. One kiss, one magical season, and two hearts that cannot fight fate.
