Christmas Gifts And A Winter Kiss

Be whisked away to charming new destinations while you rediscover the magic of the holiday season with these four sweet, standalone Christmas and winter romances. The Christmas Concierge by Beth Kendrick Christmas concierge Holiday Smith, known as “the Wish Granter,” procures impossible-to-find gifts for her elite clients. When Holiday agrees to set up her favorite client’s granddaughter on a blind date with the famously private Alex Sappier, Holiday will need to pull out all the stops if she’s going to make it home in time for Christmas. As Holiday teams up with the right man at the wrong time, can she find a way to make her own wish for love come true this Christmas? Home Sweet Christmas by Charlee James When big-city pastry chef Kayla Hunter returns home to help with Hollybrook’s Christmas Eve Spectacular, she’s disappointed to learn that her grandparents are selling The Candy Manor, a charming Victorian mansion that housed them and their chocolate business. They’ve also left her in charge of holiday preparations with Dominick Rowe, Hollybrook’s distractingly-handsome new lawyer. But Kayla’s grandparents have a plan up their sleeves—have they stirred up too much trouble this time, or will Kayla and Dominick’s opposing hearts melt with holiday magic? A Santa Fe Christmas by Cecelia Guzman Evie Hernandez gave up her dream job to help with Mama Irene’s, the family business. Balancing her modernization plans while respecting generations of traditions isn’t easy, especially with her nosy, loving family offering unsolicited advice. That’s never more true than when she meets Alex Ortiz, who’s in Santa Fe to do business with Mama Irene’s. But Alex has a deadline to keep and a business to get back to—plus, Evie will hate him when she learns why he’s really there. Can the magic of a Santa Fe Christmas help these two find their way? Love on the Winter Steppes by Paris Wynters When workaholic marketing consultant Qara Whitaker’s grandmother asks that she accompany her on a birthday trip to Mongolia to visit their family, Qara can’t say no. A chance meeting with Benjamin Lacoy, an author looking for inspiration, leads to them playing tourists. Sparks fly and Ben is feeling far more than inspiration, yet each time he and Qara get close, she’s distracted by work. Opposites clearly attract, but can they learn to balance work with love in order to build a future together?

Three generations of Stoltzfus women are all living under the same roof. At twenty-five, Naomi has never been married, and both her mother, Barbara, and her grandmother, Ruth, have recently been widowed. Each nursing broken or lonely hearts, they also each have potential suitors. When a storm on Christmas Eve forces the three couples to take shelter in the basement of the Stotlzfus homestead, secrets are revealed, hearts are opened, and all three potential grooms drop to their knees for very different reasons—a proposal, a prayer, and an epiphany.

Voted most likely to marry… Will they finally have the chance? Dr. Dexter Chamblisse always has a plan. He just hadn’t planned on an ER reunion with his high school sweetheart, Maura! She may work in his hospital, but Dex has tried to keep his distance. He can’t bear to be reminded of the tragic accident that tore them apart. But it’s getting harder to ignore the sparks still flying between them… Could this be their second-chance Christmas? From Harlequin Medical: Life and love in the world of modern medicine.

She's the city girl from Boston. He's the pottery guy from the bay. Their lives were never meant to collide. Dylan Fraser is an artist, a dreamer, and a failed actor. He runs a gift store on the edges of Starling Bay, a small coastal town where nothing much happens. Merry Nicholls hates Christmas. The festive season is full of bad memories, especially this year which marks the five-year passing of her husband's death. Having fallen ill due to stress, and at her mother's insistence, Merry reluctantly agrees to visit Starling Bay. She's supposed to recuperate, but with her surly daughter and her Great Dane in tow, not to mention the town's busy body on her back, recuperation might not be possible. And when her dog crashes into a gift shop, breaking a collection of handmade Christmas coffee mugs, all chances of an easy life go out of the window. Neither Dylan nor Merry are looking for love, but maybe it's time for them to let go and give in. Because when the timing is right, and the feeling is ripe, taking a risk with their hearts could lead to lasting love and happiness.

'Tis the season to be jolly! But on Rochester Mews, two unlikely lovebirds are struggling to find their festive cheer. Star baker Mattie has hated Christmas ever since she had her heart broken in Paris on Christmas Eve. The only thing she hates more is the insufferable Tom, a fusty academic who has rubbed her up the wrong way since she started running the tearoom next door to the bookshop where he works, Happy Ever After. So when Mattie and Tom are left in charge in the frantic festive days before Christmas, it might be cold outside, but things are sure to heat up. Can a bookshop full of romantic novels, a life-sized reindeer, and a mistletoe kissing booth persuade two scrooges to fall in love with Christmas...and each other?
