Heat up the season with a sexy Santa Claus and a gorgeous fake date for Christmas.

HIS FIRST TIME: NICK -

When I get tricked into playing Santa Claus for a charity event, I decide to make the most of it by spending a steamy night of passion in a lonely single-mom’s bed.

Freckle-faced Tyson and his gorgeous, skittish mother, Kelsey, are trying to wiggle their way inside my ice-cold heart, but even the real Santa couldn’t create that kind of Christmas miracle.

Will a special Christmas wish help me find true love, or am I too far gone for holiday magic to work?

“What do you seek, child? I see your heart is troubled,” the shadowy figure asked.
“Father, I am conflicted within my heart. Our history with the monsters of blood, the day-walkers of old, tells us to beware, to call upon the ancients to protect us as we battle this evil.”
The figure nodded. “It is so, Child.”
“But with the utmost respect, Father, I have met one, and he is nothing as our ancestors have described. He is honest and true, trying to protect his tribe from the very evil we have battled against. I have seen it with my own eyes. How can I destroy what has saved my life?”
“He has tasted your blood?” The shadow recoiled at the thought.
“No! He fought an evil sorceress, his own mother, to save me and my friends. I would have died if they had not called upon the Piasa Bird to save me.”
“You speak of legends long dead, daughter. You were mistaken in your thoughts. The Piasa Bird is extinct.”
“No, Father, he lives. The last of his kind. Unique, just as I am unique.”
She pulled her shawl away from her shoulders, exposing the birthmark of the dragon. It glowed with an inner light of green. The figure stepped back.
“How long, Daughter?”
“Since the day the sorceress tried to take my soul and my powers. The dragon’s tears saved me, but now, my mark aches and glows.”
The figure was silent for several minutes. Delta worried she would never get an answer to her problem. Finally, he spoke, “There is only one reason for your mark to glow, Daughter. You are the key to banishing this evil from your world. You must turn these evils on to each other, so they will each destroy the other and leave your world forever.”
“Very well, Father. I will turn the day-walker against the dragon. My prayers and offerings will be centered on their demise.”

Delta Malone, shaman, shop owner and unbeknownst to her, destined soulmate of the rarest dragon, is about to embark on the greatest adventure of her life - she will attempt to pit the most powerful vampire against the fiercest dragon in an effort to control her own destiny and prevent the elimination of mankind.

Jackson Thibedeaoux, the last of the great Piasa Bird Dragons, has come home to die. Or at least, that what he thinks until he meets the beautiful, soulful, Delta, saves her from an evil sorceress, and realizes she is his fated mate. He knows she has secrets, but it's nothing he can't handle, right? After all, he's the fiercest dragon of all time with the most powerful friends in the shifter world.

But when he learns his soulmate's secret, it's up to him and his friends to convince her to throw caution to the wind and damn her destiny in favor of love, or else all of them are doomed.

She’s not meant to be a bride…

At least not to the man her parents picked out. Ellie Greene wants a quiet life with Grams on the Wyoming farm, and quiet could happen if someone would stop sabotaging them. Each week something more dangerous happens and Ellie doesn't know how much more she can stand. Forced to seek help, Ellie would prefer anyone else other than the tall, dark, sexy-as-sin cowboy with the knight-in-shining-armor complex she gets stuck with. While the chemistry between them flares brighter than fireworks, Ellie knows they want different things from life. She wants an easy-going farm boy, and nothing about Shane is easy. Besides, soon he’ll be moving on. 

He’s not meant to be a civilian…

Shane Hannigan doesn’t know how to be anything but a Marine sniper.  Honestly, he’s not sure he’s good at anything else. Since the IED explosion took his leg—and most likely his career—he’s not sure where he belongs. As a man whose job is to protect others, coming across the blonde-curly haired beauty with a flat tire is a nice distraction, that is until he finds out the flat was no accident. Someone is out to get Ellie, and even though she’s the most stubbornly competent woman he’s ever met—and damn if that’s not a sexy trait—he knows she's in danger and he’s going to help her, despite her obstinate objections. 

Can they work together to find who is determined to destroy Ellie before it’s too late?  Or will Ellie lose her heart and her farm? 

“Dark, delicious, and damn near addictive! Don't keep The Master waiting." - USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone

Ten lessons are all that stand between me and my future…
My entire life has been determined for me.
I will be the trophy wife of a powerful man.
But another powerful man stands between us.
The first lesson he teaches me is obedience.
The second, patience.
My third lesson is supposed to be learning to control my mind.
But maybe I’d prefer he do it for me...

Two back to back apocalyptic incidents change the world; the first, a nuclear war between America and North Korea, and then, as the world is still reeling from the consequences of that debacle, two pieces of space rock the size of Manhattan slam into the Earth, wiping out billions of people in just minutes, one of them unleashing a deadly pathogen that scatters into the atmosphere. Within months, men are dying off by the millions, and within a year, they are an endangered species. Women, their physiology unaffected by the virus, are forced to take over. They not only save what little remains of the male species, they start to rebuild a new world, a new paradigm, one entirely dominated by women. New international laws are established forbidding men from ever gaining positions of power again, for it is men who are seen as the toxic element, who failed to prevent a nuclear war, who built the war machines, who waged war against one another, and who subjugated women in their patriarchal society. Sixteen years have passed since the first bombs were dropped and the asteroids fell from the sky, when Tanner McNeal, and his intrepid team of space voyagers, return from their mission to Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. When they step back on Earth, they are shocked to find a different world. Tanner and the men of his crew are promptly arrested under the new mandates, and the women of his crew are taken away to be indoctrinated on their roles in the new Utopia. With so few men left alive, most of them in work camps or farm collectives, relegated to laborers for the most part, Tanner discovers who he is up against, Lady V, the President of New America, a woman who hates men so deeply that she has developed an entirely new gender, Woman Ex, and her goal is to eliminate all men forever. Tanner is racing against the clock, as he organizes a grassroots rebellion, a seemingly impossible uprising against Lady V's army, but he soon discovers that many women are on his side, and the battle ensues to save the race of humanity.

When Charlie and Dave discover an abandoned baby in the church manger, their first date takes an unconventional turn. Before Charlie can say “Baby Jesus,” she finds herself providing foster care for the newborn while still tending to her medical practice. Ex-SEAL Dave Ricker is used to adjusting on the fly and turns out to be a surprising help. That is, until she learns that he has an ex and a young daughter in a nearby city. Clearly there are hidden depths to the hunky shipbuilder…

Dave feels himself falling for Charlie, but she wants promises he can’t make, security he can’t offer. He’s already failed as a husband and father once. When the baby’s birth mother is located, Charlie’s world falls apart. Dave gives her comfort, but can he offer her forever in time for a perfect Christmas?

Nothing ruins a lovely house party like bloody murder.

At the decrepit old age of six-and-twenty, Miss Beatrice Hyde-Clare has virtually no hope of landing a husband. An orphan living off her relatives' charity, her job is to sit with her needlework and to keep her thoughts to herself.

When Bea receives an invitation to an elegant country party, she intends to do just that. Not even the presence of the aggravatingly handsome Duke of Kesgrave could lead this young lady to scandal. True, she might wish to pour her bowl of turtle soup on his aristocratic head - however, she would never actually do it. But a lady can fantasize.

But, when she stumbles upon the dead body of another houseguest, all Bea's good intentions fly out the well-appointed window. Although the magistrate declares it a suicide, she knows better.

Time for some very unladylike behavior.

After my time in the military,
I’m happy with a no-strings-attached lifestyle,
Until Brianna shows up at the ranch.

Taking the trauma victims on hikes helps them open up and relax.
Too bad I’m way more interested in getting Brianna to open up to me than I should be.

What I Should Be Doing:
1. Leading hikes
2. Pointing out nice views and animals
3. Listening politely when clients want to share what they’ve been through
4. NEVER getting personally involved

What I’m Doing Instead:
1. Thinking about Brianna all the time
2. Feeling way too protective of her
3. Falling on a hike and hurting my ankle
4. Kissing her…and more.

A former nurse, she had lost her baby, and her whole life fell apart.
Time at the ranch is supposed to help her heal.
She’s vulnerable. Now I’m her patient with my hurt ankle and my misguided crush.
Sparks fly, and we start sneaking around.
Brianna seems happier, stronger, and I think I’m in love.
Until she starts avoiding me.

Something’s wrong, and she won’t tell me what it is.
I have to make sure she knows she can trust me. I’d never leave her.
If only she’d just let me into her heart.

‘Wow… I fell a little bit in love! In these dark days, this book is a beacon of light!’ 5 stars, Netgalley reviewer

The next day Nia gets to work to find another decoration shop has opened directly across the lane from her own, and she can’t resist having a nose around.

Whilst there, she accidentally backs into a human-sized Nutcracker, knocking it over and breaking it. Mortified, she flees from the store but when she gathers her resolve to go back and apologise, she stumbles across the gorgeous shop owner James, who looks exactly like Prince Charming…

When your infuriating new boss turns out to be your hot new neighbor...

Prim and proper Oakley Waldo seemed just fine riding solo at work and in her personal life. But when I walk in on her and discover we're neighbors, she’ll have to work double time to keep the tension between us at a low simmer.

My mission? To bring out the wild woman I know is hiding underneath that tightly wound bun and perfectly unruffled uniform. Only problem is, she seems dead set on discovering the past I vowed to keep hidden away.

With stolen moments of heated passion in between calls, creative uses for those handcuffs, and four meddling sisters who won’t butt out of Oakley’s life, our rocky partnership is set to explode!

When artist Brie Lark left her vampire ex and her straitjacket of a hometown to breathe free in New York City, she promised herself two things: she’d never go back to Meiers Corner, and no more vampires. The last thing she expected—or wanted—was to be sent back home on an assignment. But her boss at the FBI needs her undercover on a murder case, working with a black-haired, black-eyed giant god of a man who’s her idea of perfection, except for one thing—he’s a vampire.

FBI Special Agent Seb Rikare is an ancient vampire hardened by loss. He’s cut all emotions to protect himself and leads a deliberately steady, almost sterile life. The brash young woman forced to pose as his lover irritates him, with her jangling bracelets and colorful hair. But as much as she irritates him, he finds himself drawn to her lively spirit and he’s tempted to make fantasy a reality.
