"They say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer . . . but what are the rules for resisting your hot fake fiancé?
Getting evicted right before the holidays wasn't on Leighton's Christmas list. Rather than inconvenience any of her friends or run home to her family in Ohio, she turns to her last resort: Los Angeles' newest soccer coach and her boss' best friend, Killian. From his sunny disposition to his infuriatingly good looks, Killian's got a knack for pressing all of her buttons. So, why can't she stop thinking about unwrapping his package?
Killian only has one Christmas wish: to finally make Leighton his. He's been harboring feelings for the buxom babe for almost a year, but between his anxiety, her prickly attitude, and I-10 rush hour traffic, something always seems to get in the way. But now they're staying under the same roof—during the most romantic time of year—and he's finally got the opportunity. That is until her family pays them a surprise visit for the holidays. Suddenly, he's being upgraded from roommate to fake fiancé . . . and much to Leighton's surprise, there's nothing fake about his feelings.
As it turns out, Christmas isn't the only one coming fast this year.
Venice Actually is a low-angst, high-heat holiday romance novella. This book features a British, golden retriever hero with Ted Lasso energy and Roy Kent f*ckability, a mid-size, pansexual sass queen with a thing for knitting, baking as a love language, sexy times on the soccer field, sexy times in the shower, and (naturally) sexy times while watching Murder She Wrote."
"When Pax, the last dragon in all the kingdoms, wakes from his centuries-long slumber, he seeks a worthy mortal to gift three scales which will grant three wishes. Once the wishes are complete, he plans to move on and never return to the Gemstone Kingdoms. For now, he craves adventure—and a new partner in his bed.
He chooses Bertram, the recently crowned Emerald King.
It has been thirty years since the Gemstone Kingdoms entered a new golden age, but peace is proving fragile. With opponents of magic reappearing, Bertram is unsure what to do . . . except to wish that he knew what the future might hold if he never became king.
'Be careful what you wish for' rings even truer when gifted by a dragon.
Bertram and Pax embark on a journey through time, across kingdoms, and into their own hearts to learn what may be missing from their lives and what they might want in a different future together."
"He used to date her roommate's sister, but now he's single and she's ready to jingle . . . his balls.
A California Christmas is all Nora's ever known. She's got everything she needs in Los Angeles—a flexible part-time nannying position, roommates who might as well be her family, and an acting career in the making. The last thing she's looking for is a relationship. So why does this redheaded, dirty-talking Brit suddenly have her tinsel in a twist?
Bowie has a nasty habit of falling too hard, too quickly. When he finds himself suddenly single (yet again) just before the holidays, he decides to take his friends' advice and try something new: a holiday fling. Seems easy enough until he meets Nora, the hypnotic, purple-haired goddess with curves for days, who just so happens to be his ex's sister's roommate.
She just wants something casual for Christmas.
He doesn't think he'll be able to let her go come Boxing Day.
Can they turn their naughty month together into something nice forever?
Meet Me in Los Feliz is a low-angst, high-heat holiday romance novella. This book features a 'Soft Dom' short king with painted nails, a plus-size, tatted baddie who loves her body, one adorable wiener dog, and twelve-ish days of holiday shenanigans."
"Brilliant inventor Enzo Dragonbane has plenty to hide, including his secret identity as the recently deceased Ruby King's bastard son.
But he isn't half as mysterious as Cullen, the half-elf Enzo finds buried in the depths of the kingdom's caverns.
Cullen doesn't know who he is or how he got to the land of dwarves, and he certainly doesn't know anything about his strange shadow powers. Memories and magic or not, however, he is about to be swept up in the Ruby Kingdom's brewing civil war. The Ashen, a resistance group made up of the exploited lower class, is poised to take advantage of the power vacuum left by the king's death.
Soon Enzo and Cullen find themselves in the midst of a revolution. As they untangle Cullen's past, they discover they have much in common, but if they are to have any hope of a peaceful courtship, they will have to discover the secrets of controlling Cullen's abilities, take sides in the coming fight, and face up to the truth of who they really are."
"When Prince Nemirac learns of his heritage, he vows to become the most powerful demon in history. But he can't do it alone.
Feeling betrayed by his parents' lies about his true lineage, Nemirac embarks on a quest to visit all five Gemstone Kingdoms and drain the stones of their power to ascend as a new being. But until he obtains that magic, he's vulnerable.
Enter Janskoller the warrior bard.
Janskoller has just returned to the Gemstone Kingdoms, drawn by stories of broken curses and lands open for travel. He doesn't expect a pretty young mage to hire him as a bodyguard, but it's a good gig for a bard—lots of adventure to fuel his stories, and plenty of travel to spread his fame. Besides, Nemirac's passion and obvious secrets intrigue him.
But soon Janskoller realizes the peril of Nemirac's goal—an end that puts the five kingdoms at risk and corrupts Nemirac into a darker, twisted version of the man Janskoller comes to care about. As the two grow closer, can Janskoller convince Nemirac to abandon his pursuit of power in favor of the deeper, more lasting magic of love?"
"Created by the alchemist Braxton, Levi was 'born' fully grown and spends his early days learning about the monster-filled kingdom he calls home.
Even though he is just a construct pieced together from cloned parts, Levi longs to fit in with his mythical neighbors, but more than that, he wishes he could say two words to the Shadow King without stuttering.
Ashmedai has been king of what was once the Amethyst Kingdom since it was cursed a thousand years ago. Only he and Braxton know what truly happened the night of the curse, and Ash's secret makes walking among his beloved people painful, so he rarely leaves his castle. However, with Festival Day approaching, Ash wouldn't mind going out more often . . . if it means seeing more of Levi.
Ash wishes he deserved the longing looks from those strangely familiar violet eyes. He knows no one could love him after learning the truth of the curse. But if anyone can change his mind, it is the sweetly stitched young man who looks at him like he hung the moon."
"Damien:
I never thought I could fall in love. I never wanted to, until her.
She makes my body and mind crazy. I need to protect her. I need to make her mine. I would die for her. I would kill for her, and I do.
Bella:
I leave the English countryside and relocate to London to follow my dreams, or is it to escape my past?
My career and a fresh start, is all that is on my mind, until him.
Contains mature themes."
"Every Winter Solstice, the Emerald Kingdom sends the dreaded Ice King a sacrifice—a corrupt soul, a criminal, a deviant, or someone touched by magic. Prince Reardon has always loathed this tradition, partly because he dreams of love with another man instead of a future queen.
Then Reardon's best friend is discovered as a witch and sent to the Frozen Kingdom as tribute.
Reardon sets out to rescue him, willing to battle and kill the Ice King if that's what it takes. But nothing could prepare him for what he finds in the Frozen Kingdom—a cursed land filled with magic . . . and a camaraderie Reardon has never known. Over this strange, warm community presides the enigmatic Ice King, a man his subjects call Jack. A man with skin made of ice, whose very touch can stop a beating heart.
A man Reardon finds himself inexplicably drawn to.
Jack doesn't trust Reardon. But when Reardon begins spending long days with him, vowing to prove himself and break the curse, Jack begins to hope. Can love and forgiveness melt the ice around the king's cold heart?"
