"She's merry and bright. He's . . . not. But something between them is warming up.
Megan Sheridan just landed the perfect holiday job: a quiet week in the mountains house-sitting an event venue while the owners are away. Check the mail, answer the phone, keep the pipes from freezing—easy.
The only trouble? No one told Megan she'd be sharing the farmhouse with a very grouchy, very handsome farmhand.
Noah Hawthorne is a cousin of the owner, so she can't exactly ask him to leave. But if he scowls at her one more time, she's tempted to pack her own bags. She's not about to have her Christmas ruined by a grump, hot or not.
But then a snowstorm knocks out the power, and Megan is forced to rely on her begrudging housemate. She quickly learns there's more to Noah than terse replies and guarded looks. But trusting a man with secrets is tough, and Megan isn't sure she's willing to gamble on someone who won't open up.
When the magic of the holiday fades away, will she be holding her future? Or nursing a broken heart?
How to Kiss on Christmas Morning is a standalone, grumpy/sunshine holiday novella connected to the How to Kiss a Hawthorne Brother series. Listen for forced proximity, snowed in at Christmas vibes, and a closed-door heat level with chemistry and tension but only kisses on the page."
"Kennedy Cole's life stalled one year ago after she tragically lost her mom. She abandoned her plans to finish college and quit working for her family's professional hockey team, the Palmer City Wolves. She's finally ready to move forward with Wolves star player Justin Ward at her side, but when he's traded to another team, he hightails it out of town, leaving Kennedy behind.
Alexei Volkov is known for his hotheaded reputation, on-ice antics, and rivalry with Justin. After being fired by his last team, the Wolves offer Alexei a one-year contract to prove he can stay out of trouble. When a misleading photo of Kennedy and Alexei in a compromising position goes viral, his career is in jeopardy, along with the team's public image.
Alexei wants nothing to do with the sassy brunette who got him into this mess. Kennedy would rather avoid the arrogant hockey player. But pretending to date each other can fix the negative press. The agreement was simple: three months together, with clearly outlined rules. But the more time Kennedy and Alexei spend together, the harder it becomes to fight the sizzling chemistry between them, making it difficult to know where pretense ends and reality begins."
"A fake girlfriend to improve my image? Yeah, like that'll work.
I'm known as the bad boy of hockey. The grump. The one everyone stays away from. Doesn't matter to me though. All I care about is the game. As long as I keep my head down and it doesn't affect my spot on the team, I'm good. Until it does.
To fix my shining reputation, the team sets me up with Piper Fields, the happiest girl on the planet. Now my girlfriend. Scratch that—my fake girlfriend.
All I have to do is pretend to like her in public and keep my distance in private. Except that's not exactly what happens . . .
With each day we spend together, I find myself forgetting that none of this is real. Sparks fly and lines blur. I know she feels it too.
Then, just when I thought I had finally found something to hold on to, someone threatens to expose us. But just like in the game, I'm in it to win, and this time, I'm going to win her. For good.
Best Laid Plans is a fake dating, brother's teammate, grumpy/sunshine, hockey romance with a guaranteed HEA!"
"I consider us enemies, but he has no idea why.
Declan Young—single dad, friend to all three of my brothers, and the man who can't walk into a room without getting under my skin. He's too confident, too charming, and from the day he moved back to our small town, the golden boy everyone adores.
Growing up, he was older, and I thought of him only as my rival. I still do . . . except now he's hotter, infuriatingly helpful, and living next door. Oh, and his daughter? Best friends with my son. Which means Declan is suddenly everywhere—in my kitchen, in my backyard, in my head when I'm trying to sleep.
When I invite them to live in my basement for the summer, I tell myself it's about helping out, but the extra income is an added bonus I desperately need to take my life back.
It's my house. My rules. But Declan has this way of looking at me like I'm the only thing in the room that matters. And the more I see him as a father, the more dangerous he becomes to my heart.
I thought I was in control.
Turns out, love doesn't play by any rules—especially mine."
"As the starting goalie for a professional hockey team, I should be oozing confidence and swagger. Too bad I'm as awkward as they come.
Things go from bad to worse when I want my teammates' help to set me up. Especially when the team's general manager is there to witness the train wreck of a date.
Until she proposes dating lessons . . . mutual dating lessons. How can the most confident, self-assured woman need my help?
What starts off simple and uncomplicated quickly turns into more. A lot more. She's supposed to be helping me with other women. But the more time I spend with Bexley, the more I want her. Only her.
We can't be together. She's my general manager. More than a decade older than me. There's no way this can work. Except it does.
When everything goes sideways, will the two of us find a way to make it work?
I can only hope the outside world won't crush the best thing I have going for me."
"You know it's a bad idea when your escape to a postcard-perfect small town lands you crashing—literally—into the tattooed arms of Falcon Haven's most untouchable bachelor.
Saint Toussaint doesn't do second chances. Not after losing his wife. And not with his quirky five-year-old clinging to every temporary fix.
He makes it clear: two weeks, then I'm gone. But when those piercing blue eyes and calloused thumbs linger too long on my lips during a cinnamon-dusted 'lesson,' I'm left wrecked.
Saint's all growls and guarded walls, but I see the storm beneath, the fierce protector who'd burn the world for those he loves.
I'm supposed to keep it professional. Temporary. But with shadows from my past creeping closer and Ivy's gummy smiles melting us both, walking away feels impossible.
What happens when 'just two weeks' turns into the one thing neither of us can fake?
Contains mature themes."
"Loving You is a steamy, small-town, faking dating romance.
Never lie about having a boyfriend, and definitely don't give them a name.
I honestly thought there was no harm last summer in naming Miles Asher as my boyfriend. I was convinced my friends from that part of my life would never meet him.
I mean, come on, I'm a travel influencer constantly moving from one beach to the next, and Miles is a small-town mechanic. He loves his family and friends, and he's a nice guy. Or so they say. Miles has never cared for me. But now I'm staying in his town of Lovers for the summer, and—surprise!—my vacation friends are too.
Luckily, after he tells me no twice, I persuade Miles to be my boyfriend. Then I talk him into letting me rent the apartment next to his house. Together, we convince the town that we are dating.
But one touch leads to another, and then there's a kiss, and it becomes very hard to resist a man who makes me want things I've never wanted before. Who looks at me as if I'm the only thing that matters.
Still, none of that changes the fact that when the summer is over, I'll leave. My life and my job are to travel. His isn't. Knowing how this ends was supposed to be the easy part."
"Luca Asher is my brother's ex-best friend, the best contractor in our small town of Lovers, a walking dream when he doesn't have a shirt on—heck, with it on, too, and he was the first boy I ever loved.
He just doesn't know that last part.
On the rare occasions I converse with him, I get a comeback for everything. Our banter is my favorite thing. He's so clever and quick and, again, sexier than any man I've ever met.
But none of that changes the fact that he betrayed my brother. My family. Me. And none of those facts would matter except for my one little problem.
I had this plan to save my family's marina, which backfired. Now, my parents have given me a deadline to prove to them it's still worth saving. If I don't make it, they'll sell everything, and I'll lose my dream to keep the place. They gave me one rule: do not hire that Asher boy. At this point, I have only one option left to make this happen. Hire Luca and beg him not to tell a single soul about it.
My heart forgave him years ago, but my head knows better than to trust the enemy. And yet, in a matter of weeks, he starts to remind me of the old us, and I find myself falling for him all over again.
The idea of me and Luca is . . . tempting."

"Her brother's best friend was supposed to be a shield—not a temptation.
Teagan Madden worked hard to bury her reckless past and is weeks away from college graduation. But when a dangerous mistake—Eric McKinnon—returns with threats and ties to the mafia, her carefully rebuilt life starts to crumble.
Enter Jaxon Lawson, her brother's best friend and the one man she's always trusted. Jaxon knows exactly how ruthless Eric can be, and he'll do anything to keep Teagan safe. His plan? Pretend they're a couple to scare Eric off.
What starts as a fake relationship quickly sparks into something real—slow-burn desire that neither of them can ignore. But Eric isn't backing down. Each threat tightens the noose, forcing Jaxon and Teagan to decide how far they'll go to protect each other . . . and what lines they'll cross when love becomes the most dangerous game of all."
"Promise Me is a steamy, small town, enemies to lovers, my best friends sister, amnesia, contemporary romance.
Hudson Asher is my brother's best friend and my number one enemy—I think.
One accident later, and I can't remember the last three years or the exact reason why my childhood nemesis and I still refuse to hold a civil conversation.
Heck, I didn't even know he had moved back to our small town of Lovers until I woke up in the hospital and he was the only one sitting next to my bed.
Suddenly, I'm living a life that doesn't sound like me. My brother is an overprotective babysitter, and I only want to be treated normally. There's only one person who doesn't treat me like broken glass: Hudson.
Appearing on his doorstep one night and inviting myself to stay for a while wasn't part of his plans, but it turns out the former hockey player whose career ended way too soon might need me in his life just as much as I need him.
We can team up and help each other heal, but what happens when or if my memory comes back? Which version of Hudson will I choose to keep: the one I can't stand or the one I can't live without?"
"AVERY: Being married to Jim meant champagne toasts, luxury empires, and billion-dollar deals. But this Christmas? It meant being married to a man who signed off on a charcuterie board and called it a holiday.
No party. No magic. Just Scrooge in a Tom Ford suit. And I'd had enough. With a little help from my friend, Cat Veléz, the most ruthless luxury event architect in California. I was determined to remind my husband that Christmas wasn't a line item. It was something you felt.
JIM: In my defense . . . it was a very nice charcuterie board. Apparently, that doesn't count. Turns out, my wife didn't want a gift basket. She wanted me.
And when my brother, Jake, and the doctors at St. John's all started calling me Scrooge . . . and my wife started looking at me like I was Clark Griswold's tight-fisted boss? That's when I realized I hadn't just screwed up Christmas. I'd screwed up with her.
Now Avery and Cat are plotting a holiday coup. Snow machines, rooftop galas, fir trees flown in by private jet.
I'd built an empire. But saving Christmas—and my marriage—wasn't going to take money.
It was going to take me proving to Avery that beneath the Scrooge act, I was still her Mr. Mitchell."
