A Christmas Elf? It happened to Josh Larkland every year. He'd be happily running his multimillion-dollar company, when the whole world would just go…nuts. It meant only one thing…Christmas! Not that Josh really minded Christmas—he liked his family, he just didn't know them very well. People kept inviting him to parties. Sometimes they had too much eggnog and gathered around the piano and…sang. This year his mother insisted on a personal present for everyone! The solution was to get his very own Christmas elf—Amanda of A&B Executive Services. Amanda shopped, she arranged parties…she made the holiday season magical. The mischief, however, began when Josh kissed her under the mistletoe…and wanted more—a lot more. Was it just Christmas spirit, or would his feelings last?

A delightfully charming and sexy Christmas romance that will make you believe in the special magic of the season. When Gina Tuckerman goes home for the holidays after a decade long absence, she never expects to run into the one man—Colton McAlister—who stole her heart and crushed it to smithereens. But she doesn’t have time for all that. Her goal is to wrangle her family together and make this holiday the best Christmas ever. Yet sometimes, fate has something else in store… The moment Colton sees Gina at the local market, his world stands still and he can barely speak. But she certainly does, and the message is loud and clear. She has never forgiven him or his family, and she never will for what they did. Colton never expected to see her again, but now that she’s in town, he can’t get her out of his mind. She’s as beautiful, smart-mouthed, and feisty as ever, and all he can think about is holding her in his arms. He’s determined not to let her slip away, but he’s not sure if she’ll ever be able to open her heart to him again.

He runs covert ops. She’s planning a secret mission of her own... Jett Hutchinson is busy tracking down a mole at the Department of Defense. His fiancée Anna Dubois is trying to pull off her own covert op—a surprise wedding days before Christmas. The one person who doesn’t know about her plans? The groom. As the big day draws near, Jett is scrambling to discover the traitor. When Anna can’t be found, he’s ready to call in the team. The last place he expects Anna to be is in their own backyard—in a white wedding gown. Can both their missions go off without a hitch? Warning: This is a sexy novella. Don’t click if you hate sizzling romance, gruff alpha males, grumpy-sunshine couples, or former soldiers on a black ops team.

Tom is on a mission to bring seasonal love and lust to his friends at the Haven Hotel, with his secret weapon - a bunch of mistletoe! Dressed in a typically eccentric, outrageous Christmas outfit, he does his very best to bring joy to the world, despite everyone else being less than enthusiastic with his efforts. It's only as he's starting to lose faith in the whole day that a late visitor arrives - and Tom is reminded of what and who matters in his own heart. This Christmas short story takes place in the series timeline after Tom's Type - Love at the Haven #8, and so it may contain spoilers for the previous titles.

MISTLETOE MISCHIEF Christmas in July at the zoo is the last place single parents Eric Riley and Marissa Wilder expect to find love. Thanks to some mistletoe mischief in the form of their two young daughters and Santa, they discover mistletoe rules were not made to be broken. EXCERPT: “Daddy, you’re under the mistletoe.” Eric glanced up at a sprig of leaves and holly berries attached to the roof of the cart, then dropped his gaze to Marissa’s. “So we are,” he murmured. Her face flushed, but he couldn’t tell if it was from embarrassment, or anticipation of a kiss. He knew the reason his pulse raced like an out of control locomotive. “You have to kiss her,” Reese stated. God Bless you, Reese. Santa laid his arm across the back of the front passenger seat and craned his head around, his brown eyes twinkling. “‘Tis tradition.” “It’s the rule,” Reese argued, frowning at Santa before turning back to Eric. “You say so every Christmas when we stand in the doorway at Grandma’s.” “I do, don’t I?” Reese nodded emphatically. “Every year.” Eric faced Marissa and sighed with exaggerated reluctance. “I might’ve been able to buck tradition, but a rule’s a rule.” ~~~ To everything there is a season...
