This Holiday, the magic of an Alabama romantic Christmas sparks a season of hope…
It’s been twenty-five long years since Jane Lafitte’s college sweetheart, Trevor Gardner, broke her heart, but life moved on. She never imagined she’d see Trevor again—until their adult children announce their own Christmas engagement—to each other!
Thrown together amidst cozy holiday celebrations, the old flames can’t deny the warm embers that still smolder between them despite the painful memories and practical concerns conspiring against them. Jane and Trevor agree to keep their romantic history a secret, but it gets complicated as they are immersed in planning a wedding between her daughter, Casey, and his son, Drew, in the same town where the two of them planned to marry so long ago.
As Jane and Trevor reconnect, their tangled past resurfaces, making forgiveness the only way forward if they hope to navigate their future as soon-to-be in-laws. But what does it really mean to be family? Can they move beyond their past hurt to discover a new beginning together in time for Christmas?

The timing’s terrible…
Fleeing a life her wealthy father planned—including the groom he picked out—Perth midwife Gabi Hudson heads off grid to the small and charming town of Wirralong in the Outback. She’s hoping for a fresh start and to live a life of purpose while working in a local baby crèche during her friend’s maternity leave. A cute cottage is included, but the hot cowboy setting up an unusual holiday display is a heart-pounding surprise.
Texas Cowboy Cormack Callaghan has been traveling the world working odd jobs until a lucrative hobby changes his fortunes. He loves making metal art in Wirralong, but Cormack’s finally booked his ticket home. He promised his patiently waiting family that he’d finally be home for this Christmas, but then he’s blindsided by the intriguing Gabriella.
Cormack’s never been a relationship kinda guy, and Gabi knows he’s temporary. Surely two weeks isn’t long enough for either of them to be so foolish as to fall in love. Or is it?

After getting dumped via email on Christmas Eve by the boyfriend I haven’t seen in months, I wake up alone in my empty apartment, sure my first New York Christmas can’t get any suckier…
Apparently, yes, it can, because my decision to catch up on my work leaves me snowbound in my company’s flagship department store on Fifth Avenue with my boss’s far-too-tempting billionaire playboy son, Ryder Sinclair.
Ryder’s rugged, reckless, and none too pleased to be stuck in a place he hates with an uptight workaholic like me — but as the night draws on, the lights go out, secrets are revealed, and the temperature heats up to scorching… Until we both end up on Santa’s naughty list!

Josephine (Josie) Miller lives for Christmas, the lights, the carols, the cocoa-fueled chaos of it all. As Magnolia Springs’ holiday-obsessed librarian, she believes there’s no problem a little tinsel can’t fix… until a sudden snowstorm leaves her stranded in the mountains two weeks before Christmas.
Enter Weylan Frost, a reclusive, widowed, grumpy mountain hermit with eyes like glaciers and a voice that could freeze the sun. He’s everything Josie isn’t: cold, quiet, and definitely not interested in her gingerbread-level cheer. But when he rescues her from the blizzard and shelters her in his hidden cabin, sparks start to melt the ice between them.
What Josie doesn’t know is that Weylan isn’t entirely human. He’s the guardian of Magnolia Spring’s winter wardline, a Yeti shifter bound to protect the mountains from storms and worse. And when she crashes into his world, her warmth begins to tether him to the one thing he’s been losing year after year… his humanity.
Snowed in together, one grump and one sunshine find that sometimes love is the strongest magic of all. Because sometimes fate doesn’t just find you… It claims you.
Kissed on Christmas is a complete standalone. You don’t need to read the other books in the series to enjoy it, though fun cameos from other characters will pop up along the way.

The second eldest, Beth Schrock, always believed herself the most level-headed sibling. After all, in the wake of their parents’ divorce, it was she who emerged as the caretaker and steadying presence. Yet after almost two years in Ohio, Beth’s life remains the most unsettled.
Unlike her younger sister and brothers, Beth has yet to become Amish, or fall in love, much less marry. Still, she is about to take on the biggest responsibility of them all. She is going to be a mother. A single mother. While she’s not proud of her actions, she is excited and hopeful about the sense of purpose this change will bring.
When Beth happens to meet family acquaintance Junior Lambright, they bump heads a bit. But after she takes a part-time job at his successful candle factory, it doesn’t take long for sparks to ignite—or for Junior to decide to be the friend Beth clearly needs.
Still, neither expects a romance. Ten years older than Beth, Junior seems content to devote himself to work and his two senior Labradors. And as Beth’s due date looms, she must choose a path. She considers returning to Cleveland and her high-paying, high-stress realtor job. She could hire a nanny. But she’d miss so much about Walden—including Junior.
And then, Junior proposes.
Beth is sure Junior’s sweet offer is only to save her reputation. . . . Unless, like her, Junior is also yearning for something more. With faith, and the courage to open their hearts, they might soon find out . . .
