Summary:

He came to close a chapter. She’s about to rewrite his whole story.

Luke Everhart has one goal this settle his late great-aunt’s estate in the picturesque town of Cobourg and get back to his fast-paced life in Toronto. No distractions. No detours. And definitely no falling for small-town charm or cocoa-sipping Christmas magic.

But Cobourg has other plans.

Enter Elysabeth Bennett, holiday enthusiast, and unofficial queen of Christmas cheer. She takes one look at Luke and decides he’s exactly the kind of corporate grump her beloved town doesn’t need. The feeling is almost mutual, until sparks begin to fly beneath their frosty banter.

When Luke is roped into wearing a period costume for the town’s Storybook Stroll, his aunt’s favourite holiday tradition, he’s convinced things can’t get worse. That is, until a snowstorm strands him at Elysabeth’s family-run Christmas tree farm with nothing but a dead EV battery and board games to pass the time.

But as the fire crackles and the snow falls, Luke finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the town, to its people, and most of all, to Elysabeth. Suddenly, “home for the holidays” starts to feel a lot more permanent.

A sparkling, enemies-to-lovers Christmas story perfect for fans of festive romance, witty banter, and new beginnings in small towns.

Summary: 

A grumpy cowboy with a permanent scowl isn't quite what I had on my holiday wishlist this year.

Except we don't always get what we wish for, which I quickly learn when I find out the Christmas vacation home I booked is a scam. Which means I need to get off the surly silver fox’s property ASAP.

But even a grumpy cowboy has manners, and he isn’t about to send this city girl away with a snowstorm blowing through town–even if it would make his life less complicated.

Another not-so-small problem? There's only one bed in his cabin.

I might be used to bright city lights, but country evenings turn into the perfect holiday nights when I find myself wrapped up in his arms. It seems the crackling fire isn't the only thing heating up, and I can’t help but wonder if fate led me here after all.

Dreaming of a Cowboy Christmas is a spicy, age gap holiday novella between a sunshine girl and a grumpy cowboy who uses toys as teammates.

Summary:

Fact or fiction: becoming a lumberjack and marrying your best friend so she can inherit her family business is a great idea.

When Addison “Roe” Monroe tells me she’s going on a husband hunt at the local lumberjack competition so she can inherit her father’s lumberyard, I think she has finally lost her mind.

But my stubborn friend, who would rather drive a forklift than get her nails done, refused my first marriage offer. And since I can’t stomach watching Roe hitch her wagon to some hulking ax wielder who might be a serial killer, I decide that desperate times require desperate measures.

Call me Lumberjack Luke.

I’ll do whatever it takes to get her to accept my proposal because she’s more than just a friend. And the way she looks back at me? I think she knows it.

On the surface, I’m offering a marriage of convenience to protect her. But the truth is…I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend.

Marrying her and moving her up to Fletcher Mountain might mean I’ve lost my mind too, but so be it.

Because the only thing I would regret more, is never trying.

And that’s a fact.

Summary:
The first time I met Kyler Blackwood, he was a bruised and battered boy with fire in his eyes and nowhere safe to land.

Since the first time he kissed me, he was my best-kept secret, my quiet rebellion, my haven in the storm.

But fate forced us apart, making us pretend to be strangers because it hurt too much to be anything else.

Years later, time hasn’t dulled what we felt, has never erased the way we fit. And when Kye’s past collides with my present, everything shifts.

It’s a choice neither of us expected.
A bond that never really broke.
A line we were never meant to cross.

We tell ourselves it’s only temporary, that the arrangement is just a means to an end. But with each passing day, the lie feels more like the truth. And with each stolen touch, Kye feels more like mine. Because some things were never meant to be pretend.

And some dangers are closer than we ever imagined...

Summary:

The sexy hate-to-love, black cat x golden retriever, billionaire romance that's impossible to put down.

Ryker Davenport is the reckless, arrogant heir to his family's company...and my ticket to a big promotion.

As a publicist at one of the top PR firms in New York, I'm used to handling tough cases--not impossible ones. But how better to prove I'm deserving of that promotion than to turn Ryker back into the golden boy everyone once thought him to be and convince the board that he's fit to lead? The only catch--we've got some history. The complicated kind.

Spending the summer working in the Hamptons wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't stuck here with the one man who knows just how to get under my skin and into my head. I've spent so much time with him that our fighting has slowly turned into something more. Something heated. Now I'm worried it's not just my head he's getting into, but my heart.

The job was to prove to the world that Ryker isn't bad for business, but in doing so, I may have proved to myself that Ryker isn't bad for me...

But when I find out I’m pregnant with my ex’s baby, my entire world is upended.

My ex doesn’t want the baby, but I plan to rebuild my life as a single mother and figure out how to handle all of this alone.

Except that I don’t seem to be alone―Everett always shows up for me.

I don’t expect him to get mixed up in all my drama―not when he has his own. And I wish he would listen to me when I say we have to stop whatever it is we’re doing.

But he wants me, the baby, and my heart.

So when I’m forced to return to California sooner than planned, I’m devastated.

Everett can’t leave Ember Falls, and I can’t stay.

Saying goodbye to him the first time was hard enough. This time, it just might break me.

Summary:

I came here seeking sanctuary, I never meant to fall for the broody single dad next door.

I've spent my life hiding in plain sight, burying my past beneath layers of carefully constructed lies. Moving to Sparrow Falls was supposed to be a fresh start. A place to lay low. But when I end up living next door to the single dad who just happens to be one of my brother’s best friends, everything changes.

Trace Colson sees too much, asks too many questions, and his protectiveness is as infuriating as it is alluring.

And when danger comes calling, it’s Trace who stands between me and the darkness.

But being close to him is its own kind of risk. Because with every heated glance and every stolen touch, Trace tempts me to open my heart, to dream of a life I’d long since given up on. The only problem? Trace has his own demons, and when they collide with mine, the fallout could destroy us both.

Forever.
