Book Description
Three steam-up-your-holiday reads featuring a single mom Cinderella, two sworn enemies catching a streaking Santa (and the love bug), and a Scroogy cowgirl who gets a second chance with the one who got away. MILF ON THE SHELF Single mom, Maggie, has given up on love. And dating. And hope that she’ll meet a man who isn’t better left on the shelf. That is, until her socialite nemesis swears Maggie couldn’t get a date to the Christmas Ball if her life depended on it… Scrambling to find a plus one, Maggie calls in a favor from her childhood friend, Penny. The one who works for a male escort service… UP TO SNOW GOOD The only thing worse than a streaking Santa dashing naked through my Christmas tree farm? Answer: Lawrence Beverly, the insufferable Brit who opened a competing farm down the lane, finding out about it. I loathe Lawrence like cocktail sauce in my cocoa, and there’s no way I’m letting him use Mr. Jingle Balls against me. Luckily, I have a foolproof plan to take care of my Santa problem. Or so I think, until it goes hideously awry and Lawrence sweeps in to save the day. Now we’re making out in front of my fireplace and he’s saying all the right things, but can I trust this man with my heart? Or is he still up to snow good? THE TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS It’s the time of year for miracles…Once upon a time, Lula and Carter were inseparable. But when their romance faltered, the holiday lights went out in Lula’s heart. She gave up on love and embraced a hermit’s existence, until Carter pops back up in Lonesome Point, begging for a second chance… She gives him twelve days—and twelve dates—to make his case before she sends him packing. Soon, however, not even Lula Scrooge can deny she and Carter go together like cocoa and cookies. But when her old fears are reawakened, it may take a holiday miracle to keep them together. Keywords: holiday romance, Christmas romance, single mom romance, single parent romance, second chance romance, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, fairy tale romance, romantic comedy romance, rom com, rom com novella, steamy holiday reads, heartwarming holiday reads, heartwarming holiday romance, cowboy romance, western romance.

Grab your eggnog and curl up by the fireplace with these magical holiday romances sure to warm your heart and your spirits! Mistletoed in Merritt: Rich boy Bennett Pontellier Watkins and blue collar Hélène-Louise Soileau had a secret, youthful love affair—until their mothers found out and set them on separate paths. Eight years later, their lives cross again when Hélène-Louise agrees to teach a series of workshops at the Cultural Arts Center in Merritt, where Bennett is the director. The spark is still there, but old patterns begin to re-emerge, and it’s clear that Bennett still wants to hide their relationship from his family. Is Hélène-Louise willing to give up everything she’s built for herself for a man who may never see beyond her social status? Cloaked in Christmas: Wulfkin Cacey Varg’s new pack is suddenly no place to be this December. Her ex has discovered her location and is on his way to take their daughter back. But a massive snowstorm prevents her from packing up and leaving town—and instead delivers a sexy stranger, Vincent Lyall, to her doorstep. Can she trust that he isn’t one of her ex’s henchmen? Or will this be a merry Christmas after all? A Heart for the Holidays: Thanks to an injury, Silver Morgenstern’s career as a surgeon came to an abrupt and final halt. Now she’s searching for meaning—and failing—in her administration job at the local hospital. That is, until she receives Fisher Tibbs’s application to be removed from the heart transplant list. As the founder of Casper, Wyoming’s successful social program Combat Children’s Hunger, Fisher seems to have everything to live for. But nothing can mend the very real fissure his young daughter’s death tore in his heart—unless Silver’s new mission to rescue his heart succeeds, in which case it might just save her own. Montana Christmas Magic: Tennis pro Logan Collins inherits a ranch in rural Phillipsburg, Montana, that he’s not allowed to sell for six months. It’s just enough time to start a sweet relationship with artist and chocolatier Julie Thompson. But despite the trappings of permanence—a dog, a horse, and a woman who brings light into his dark days—his life is still in New York. He’ll have to persuade Julie that Christmas in Manhattan is just as inspiring, before the holidays put a final wrap on their relationship. Sensuality Level: Sensual
