"Enjoy three contemporary standalone romances that are perfect for the holidays. Titles include His for the Holidays, Moonlight in Winter Park, and—in audio for the first time—Waiting for Midnight! His for the Holidays Hannah and Gage think that they can fool their families with a well-planned fake holiday romance, but when real sparks begin to fly, will Gage be able to continue the ruse? Moonlight in Winter Park All Hope Cooper needed this year was to have the kind of Christmas her family always cherished. Beckett James hates the holidays and everything that goes with them. When Hope shows up at Beckett's mountain retreat demanding her brother come home immediately, suddenly it's two alone in a snowstorm. Two alone for Christmas. Waiting for Midnight For the last year, Maddie's been trying to get Noah's attention but to no avail—until a busted light bulb, a broken ladder, and a concussion lend a hand. Now with the holidays right around the corner, she's hopeful that she'll finally get her wish to kiss her sexy neighbor as way to kick off the new year."

Plum's thrilled when she gets an invite to dinner on the yacht of a wealthy music executive, grateful for a luxurious night on the water, surrounded by A-listers. But days later, one of the servers from the yacht—a girl with a dragonfruit tattoo—washes up dead, and Plum's sweet bit of paradise quickly goes rotten. As the yacht prepares to set sail across the Caribbean, Plum hops onboard. But the zest laid plans turn deadly as it becomes clear that someone on the boat is a murderer...and Plum may be the next victim."
"Sometimes misery is little, and sometimes it is epic and yawning, capable of swallowing every childhood memory. There are the miseries the Castles will talk about—old family lore about a great great great uncle who was split in two while connecting railroad cars—and the misery none of them will face. There are days at the lake, placid except for inexplicable tension the parents won't address and the three Castle children don't have names for. There are stories about sex and gore at cocktail parties, around bonfires, at sleepovers, in classrooms, and in the newspaper. Everyday growing pains are shadowed by the abduction of a local girl, reports of a massacre of nurses, and the harm done by strangers and by those who are charged to care for children. To survive childhood is to survive all of these miseries and tragedies—because growing up means waking up to a world that can be random and brutal. With some thematic overlap with Rick Moody’s The Ice Storm or what Mad Men would have been like if Sally Draper got to tell her side of the story, Little Miseries is set in Iowa and Minnesota in the 60s and 70s, a time and place when parents didn’t talk much to their children but certainly talked around them—while dipping into whiskey or rum punch, whether on a long drive, on the beach, or in the comfort of their own home. Little Miseries is a tribute to what it means to come into awareness, to be a part of a family unit, and to bear responsibility for those you loved and who have been harmed along the way."
"England, 1939: When Alice marries twinkly-eyed, kind-hearted vicar David, it means leaving everything from her old life behind and moving into the draughty vicarage in the beautiful but remote village of Goswell, Cumbria. Though homesick, she's determined to make a new life there for herself and her husband. But soon tragedy strikes, and Alice is devastated when war breaks out and David chooses to sign up to fight. But everything changes when she's asked to take in a child evacuee, and she makes a promise to protect this girl, no matter what it costs her… England, Present Day: When Jane and her family move to the small coastal village of Goswell where her husband grew up, she’s afraid she might have made a huge mistake. Their new home—in what had once been the vicarage—feels a million miles from their previous fast-paced life in New York City, and Jane struggles with her empty days that seem lonely and purposeless. But then she finds a small note, forgotten behind a shelf in the pantry, a note written during the Second World War by a woman named Alice, whose incredible story has the power to change everything… The first book in the Goswell Quartet, this novel combines two wives’ stories—seventy years apart—that both focus on courage, finding a home, and how the unexpected arrival of someone else’s story in your life can change your own. Perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Lucinda Riley, and Barbara O’Neal, it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel."
