Snowflakes, Secrets & a Royal Surprise
Every December, Dani Posner swaps her desk job for painting festive Main Street windows in her cozy hometown. In the hushed snowy nights, she lives her dream of being a full-time artist, if only for a few fleeting weeks. And then a literal run-in with a charming stranger leaves her heart skipping and her lips tingling…
Oliver isn’t just any handsome passerby. He’s a prince, hiding from duty and his family. Apprenticing at a bakery in the small town is his last hurrah before he’s forced back into a royal life he didn’t choose—and a proposal he hasn’t agreed to.
As stolen moments and whipped cream-fueled kisses turn serious, he encourages Dani to chase her artistic dreams. But his royal identity doesn’t stay hidden. When the truth comes out, it threatens their romance, his family ties, and it even complicates his secret plan to help save her hometown.
This Christmas, love may be the biggest surprise of all to unwrap—and the fairy tale ending neither of them imagined.
A (Secret) Prince for Christmas is a standalone title.

This uplifting holiday collection brings together three clean, heartwarming romances set in the same beloved seaside town. Each is a complete story with a feel-good ending, small-town charm, and just enough sparkle to make the season bright.
Christmas at Candlelight Bay
Mel’s dream Christmas – skiing with her boyfriend’s well-heeled family – goes off-script. A last-minute detour home to Candlelight Bay, a familiar smile, and a town full of traditions remind her what she really wants.
Holly’s Christmas Secret
Holly’s planning the mayor’s New Year’s gala; Colton runs the venue she rejected. When a blizzard strands them, Colton announces to her parents he’s her fiancé – and offers a trade: four days of make-believe for a second chance at the contract.
Saving Candlelight Inn
The inn’s future is on the line, and Angelica will do anything to keep its doors open, even team up with her infuriating, no-nonsense co-worker, James. Opposites attract, holiday hijinks ensue, and the race to save Christmas might just save them, too.
As Christmas lights sparkle across town and the ocean breeze mingles with pine and cocoa, Candlelight Bay feels like coming home.
Come for the festive cheer—stay for the happily ever afters.

Jade Bennett can handle corporate backstabbing and hostile takeovers. A bakery held together by prayer and expired permits, a reindeer farmer with trust issues, and a vindictive town inspector with a mysterious grudge? Not so much.
When her aunt’s beloved Sugar Pine Sweets faces foreclosure, Jade returns to Frost Pine Ridge armed with an MBA and zero idea how to fix a commercial oven. Her only ally is Leo Carter—her high school almost-romance, who now raises reindeer and is convinced she’ll leave the moment things get hard.
Between learning to bake her great-grandmother’s legendary recipes, navigating small-town politics, and trying not to fall for a man who rescues her from electrical disasters while protecting his heart, Jade discovers that saving the bakery means saving herself. And maybe—if she can prove she’s staying—saving a chance at love with the quiet, stubborn man next door.
Because sometimes the sweetest recipe isn’t in any cookbook. It’s coming home, fighting for what matters, and learning that the people who challenge you the most might be exactly who you need.

This Christmas, home might be the best destination of all.
Jason Regan doesn’t do relationships or long-term commitments. His engineering firm keeps him constantly on the move, and that’s the way he likes it. But one quick trip to Holly, Montana, turns into an extended stay when a judge hands him community service at the town’s underfunded animal shelter.
Tess Evans traded courtroom battles for saving strays, pouring everything she has into the Forever Home Animal Shelter. With her make-or-break “Home for the Holidays” adoption event approaching, the last thing she needs is distraction… especially in the form of a broad-shouldered, maddeningly handsome volunteer who makes her pulse race.

Willow Weston, a well-known artist, is working on an upcoming exhibition in Seattle when her brother Hayden puts Hunter Grant in charge of managing The Weston Ranch.
She’s seen the big cowboy with the killer smile around town, but so far has managed to ignore the instant tug at her heart when he’s around. But now he’s living on their ranch and is constantly getting in her way, even intruding when she’s swimming naked in her favorite private hot spring.
Like her grandmother, Willow is fey, as her mother calls it. She knows when something is wrong, and she experiences the feelings of those she loves. She’s made peace with the fact that she’ll never have a family or even consider marriage, but when she and Hunter ended up being fake-engaged, things got complicated. Apart from the fact that she doesn’t want the responsibility of one more person’s feelings to consider, Hunter has made it clear he’s only on the Weston Ranch temporarily. There’s a family ranch waiting for him in Colorado.
There’s no way they can be together forever, is there?

A veteran with scars, a single dad with doubts, and a Christmas neither will forget.
Veteran Maggie Majors is in Pine Hill, Kentucky, on a mission, not to get involved in the town’s over-the-top Christmas festivities. Nonetheless, she’s judging their “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” contest.

Even co-judge the games with a man who makes her insides jittery.

Can the spirit of Christmas bind their hearts, giving them a faith in love that can conquer their pasts?

Lucy Macready believes in three things: peppermint cocoa can fix almost anything, tradition matters, and every December deserves a little magic.
But when the town bans pop-up vendors, her beloved cocoa stand is shut down—and with it, the one piece of Christmas that still connects her to her late grandmother.
Determined to keep the magic alive, Lucy sets her sights on the only place left to set up shop: Fir Lodge Tree Farm.
The problem?
It’s owned by Boyd Granger—the town’s resident recluse, all gruff edges and sawdust, whose idea of Christmas spirit is letting the storm shovel his driveway for him.
She shows up with cocoa and carols. He meets her with scowls and silence.
But when a blizzard traps them together, Lucy’s warmth starts melting more than snowdrifts—and Boyd begins to remember what hope used to feel like.
In a town where traditions are sacred and hearts are stubborn, one cup of cocoa might just be enough to rebuild belief in love.
