Genre: Romance, Holidays
Blurb:
Can you lose your
heart on the way to finding yourself? Or, more specifically, finding your
grandmother? It’s Christmastime, and Sunny Willis, New Falls’ resident
librarian and soon-to-be doctoral expert on classical, nude art, can’t locate
the woman who practically raised her. Her only hope is the deputy whose very
presence makes her heart pound. Can she focus enough to avoid dilapidated
police cars, flirty tow-truck drivers, and nosy townspeople so that she can be
reunited with her nana?
Bennett Jamison is a
fresh addition to the New Falls’ Sheriff’s Office, and he’s got a lot to prove
as the newest deputy. When a missing person case arises, he wants to do
everything by the book, and hopefully, impress his boss, Sheriff Quentin Taylor.
Unfortunately, the girl he’s never stopped crushing on compromises his
investigation and causes his thoughts to turn romantic. He needs to get over
her and do his job. If she’d just stop being so damn sexy.
In New Falls,
Tennessee, people and belongings go missing on a regular basis, but they
usually resurface, and everything takes a turn toward love. Can Bennett and
Sunny navigate their growing affections and find those who are missing before
they get Lost in Christmas?
Excerpt:
He’d lost his
ever-loving mind. The last thing he needed to be doing right now was
screwing up this investigation, and yet, he’d let a curvy bit of a librarian
distract him enough to allow possible contamination of a crime scene, to lose
his cruiser over the side of a hill, and, above all, to kiss her until he
couldn’t think straight.

Kait Nolan
Jace Applewhite is home for the
holidays, helping out on his family's Christmas tree farm and enjoying some

Working multiple jobs, she's forgotten what it's like to be a normal

memories.

fashioned farmhouse Christmas be enough to get Tara to give him a second
glance?

Hollywood Snowfall:
Heather Myers
It's getting cold in Hollywood, so cold,
there's a good chance the City of Angels will finally get snow.
Erin Sanders is content with her life. Going to community college and working part-time at the Chinese Mann Theatre fills up the majority of her time, leaving love on the back burner. She isn't expecting her life to change solely because of one movie-goer. But when that movie-goer is movie star and Erin's favorite actor, miracles can happen.
Johnny Barker just wants to see a movie he doesn't star in. He's tired of being stared at, hit on, and ogled by the general public, and if he gets one more question about his love life, he's going to lose it. When the ticket taker at the theatre treats him like a normal person - despite the flattering blush on her face when she recognizes him - he can't help but do a double take.
With the temperatures dropping and snow on the horizon, Erin and Johnny are captivated by each other enough to do the unthinkable: fall in love under the Hollywood snowfall.

A Magical Christmas in Jerusalem: Joanne Dannon
When falling in love isn’t as easy as falling in love.
Australian project manager Kiara Lonsdale is career focussed and
determined to provide and care for the grandmother who raised her. Taking time
off work to vacation has never been high on her agenda, but this year she’s
made an exception. She’s helping her gran fulfil a life-long dream by
accompanying her on a Christmas to the Holy Land tour.
Jacques Lenoir and his extended family run tours in Israel and
he’s committed to their business. Jacques feels responsible for his
grandparents’ welfare since they risked their lives, and others’, as operatives
in the French Resistance, during the War.
But over romantic dinners in the desert, camel rides, and mud
baths at the Dead Sea, sparks fly between Kiara and Jacques. Will this only be
a holiday romance or will a touch of Christmas magic make it last a lifetime?
Serendipity – A
Christmas Fairy Tale: Jolene Cazzola
Lauren Watson was the
girl who had everything — at least that’s the way the outside world saw her…
beautiful, smart, independent. She had a great job, owned her own penthouse
condo, had tons of friends and there was no shortage of great-looking guys
around to date.
What she hid from the
world (and herself) most of the time, was how much she wanted a “special man”
in her life. Raised by a single mother, she was beginning to think she’d never
find the right person. Every year since she was in college, she had asked Santa
to bring her a boyfriend for Christmas, but Santa had stopped listening to her
requests a long time ago. And this year, even her best girl friend had
disserted her for the holidays.
But sometimes, fate
steps in to give Santa a little help as Lauren finds out in Serendipity – A
Christmas Fairy Tale. A sexy, sensual novella that will make you believe again!
Home For Christmas
Mel Hammond
When Saskia McKinlay returns to the town she
was born it’s to keep a promise to her best friend, nothing more. She doesn’t
care about the man who fathered her, then walked away, and with any luck she
will be home in her Melbourne apartment before her mother realizes she’s gone.
But returning to the outback stirs up memories Sass hadn’t realised existed,
and with the memories comes questions. Was her past as neat as her mother would
have her think it was or is there more to the story of the man who bore the
name father in title only? One thing is for sure; Sass can’t leave again
without asking him - if she can find him. Has her father walked out of her life
a second time?
All About Us: Tracey Pedersen
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
It all started with an old fashioned typewriter. When my
family brought it home, I knew what I wanted to do. All those stories rolling
around in my head could finally get out. The press and click of the keys were
satisfying in their own right, but when I pulled out a finished page, I knew
this was for me. Since then, I’ve graduated to a laptop, but the stories still
find a way out.
I’m a breast cancer survivor, a teacher, a wife, a mother,
and from the very beginning—a storyteller. Always a hint humorous and honest to
a fault, I love to make people laugh, smile, and have “a-ha” moments. My goal
in life is to achieve tact and stop procrastinating. The battle wages on.
