Jingle Jammies

She’ll find her true love in a snowfall… Or so Charlie Dobbs’s late mother always predicted. But surely that prophecy didn’t apply to towing a famous pajama designer out of a ditch. Besides, Charlie has no time for love—the season always has its share of wrecks, her schedule is packed with Elfcapade festivities, and she’s ditching her mechanic overalls and moving to New York City right after Christmas. Spencer Carmichael would rather be in the Bahamas, but his famous holiday pajamas have failed for the second year in a row. He’ll need a fresh attitude to overcome this creative block, but the only thing he’s finding in his hometown is a fascination with the woman who saved him from a snowbank. In order to spend more time with Charlie, he offers to take on her never-ending to-do list in exchange for her designing his pajamas. But partnerships that last beyond Christmas Day require trust. Can Charlie and Spencer put aside the fabric and bows and December trimmings long enough to discover what they really need this Christmas?

The police. You know everything about them. Or do you? To a lot of people, the world of police officers is a secretive and mysterious place. They’re either omnipresent or never around. Saving lives or roughing people up. Being jerks or buying groceries for a family caught shoplifting for food. In reality, all of the above are true. But what’s not known is why it’s true. Like any job, there are things about policing the general public doesn’t know (or want to know) about. And given the age we live in, the proliferation of police experts who don’t know anything about policing has exploded. So many experts with so little knowledge giving away so much bad advice. This is a guide with real life humorous examples on how to successfully deal with police written by a nearly 30-year veteran police sergeant. A guide to improving police-community relations. A guide to understanding why cops do what they do. And most importantly, a guide to avoiding ending your night wearing orange jammies. Oh, and don't forget wearing underwear that hundreds of other people have worn too. Yes, that's what really happens.

Prickly Patrick Manning always manages to get under Madison Porter’s skin.

Worse, his coffee shop space should have been Madison’s. She’d always dreamed of taking over the town’s ice cream parlor and bringing it back to its former glory, until Patrick swooped in. But when the town discovers Madison actually made the highest bid for the store, the competition is on! She’ll set up a pop-up shop in his cafe to see which is more popular: ice cream or coffee. All’s fair in love and war, but what happens when their hearts unexpectedly start to melt for each other? First published as One Purrfect Summer
