Coming back to my hometown wasn’t part of my Christmas game plan. Neither was coaching my old high school’s hockey team or crossing paths with Colette McAllister, the Ice Queen of Brooking Sound. Back in high school, she was my biggest crush—and my brother’s biggest fan. Now, she’s all sharp glares, sarcastic quips, and a refusal to admit how much fun she’s having making my life miserable. But when my buddy Tucker bets I can’t get Colette to go on a date and kiss me under the mistletoe by Christmas Eve, I can’t resist.

A bride needs to be chosen for the human King. Girls are dragged from their homes by their hair. Homes and belongings, destroyed—all in search of an unwilling bride. I'll be executed for treason if I refuse. But I'm saved by a dragon rider. The deadly Fae King. The fae are supposed to be deadly, lethal, and vicious. But the human lands are barren and cruel—not much is different between the two lands. But something sinister is stirring in the human lands.

I must deny my fated mate. But even after all these years, he still manages to take my breath away. But now Preston is the new alpha and he’s determined to prove that our fated bond is undeniable. But I’m a wolf shifter with a secret. To give up that secret means giving up my freedom.

Love doesn’t break us; it makes us whole, my nana used to say. However, one minute, my world is set on fire, literally. The next, I am raising a six-year-old as a single mom without a clear path ahead of us. No place to live. No job. No money. I’m returning to Sterling Falls to claim what’s mine, then there will be no looking back on this beloved small town, a place I consider a handful of sand in the hourglass of my life. Then again, Clay Sylver has shaken up that ancient time clock. The silver fox in his forties is a bit cocky, but solid in every way that matters.

My fated mate has a bounty on her head… I’ve always known my fated mate is special, but now the world knows the truth about Liza, she’s more at risk than ever. There hasn’t been another wolf like her for centuries, and the public scrutiny directed her way is setting my wolf on edge. When a bounty is put on her head, my protective instincts go into overdrive.

I’m in love with a villain. Ice-cold smile, shiny collection of scalpels, and he’s ravenous to use them on me. Joke's on you, mad scientist. I've been trying to cut this sickness out of me since forever. Not all scars are in a place that you can see. In your frigid alien embrace, I've found myself, so why the hesitation in those pretty silver eyes? You’re the big bad conqueror. I’m just an ordinary human. Right? Put me in your maze. Let the experiments begin...

I used to love working. There was nothing I enjoyed more than seeing the auto shop I built from the ground up thriving, showing how far I’d managed to come in this brutal world. Then I hired Piper. Now she’s everywhere. At the front desk all day and right next door all night, infiltrating my life. My thoughts. I can’t deny wanting her, but there’s a line, and my name on the bottom of her paychecks is it.

Hudson Jolly is, ironically, the biggest Scrooge in Merryville, but I'm not intimidated. He warns me to stay away from him. However, I'm convinced he's playing reindeer games. When I learn he's searching for a nanny, I offer to help. Out of desperation, he hires me. That's his first mistake. The attraction is undeniable, and after too much spiked eggnog, lines are quickly crossed. I jingle his bells, and Hudson becomes my ho ho ho, but—because there's always a but with broody men like him—only for the season.

Mates are supposed to be forever, but nine years ago I found mine sleeping with another man. Every night, I both curse the Moon Goddess for pairing me with such an unfaithful woman and beg her for another chance to find a mate who could love me because a callous and unruly alpha like me isn’t cut out to raise a daughter with a disability on his own. But the years pass by, and I find myself loathing everyone, especially Jade. When the Chaos hits for the first time in nine years, I vow that I would never let another woman get close enough to hurt me again.

I've never met a challenge I couldn't deke out—until Emily Brooks blasted into my world with all the subtlety of a slapshot to the face. When an underwear incident (don’t ask) gives Emily ammunition for her gossip blog Blades After Dark, I’ve become her very reluctant muse. Perched on her Zamboni with a crafty smirk on that gorgeous face, she’s determined to turn my life into one big penalty box. Not only does this woman have an Olympic-sized grudge against me, she cheered—yes, cheered—for the other team. When I find out she has a secret she doesn’t want out, it’s gloves off.

Her past could destroy her second chance with her fated mate...Since returning to Moon Valley, Ciara Quinn has been given a second chance. She’s bound to her alpha, Preston, and wants to prove to him and the Crimson Moon pack that she’s here to stay. But when her ex, Cyrus, arrives in town uninvited, everyone starts asking questions.

When his agent drops him and rumors of a trade swirl through the league faster than a puck on a breakaway, I find myself in the dreaded role of Banks’s new agent. There’s no doubt I can save his career from crashing into the boards, but only if we don’t strangle each other first. All I need to do is whip this man-baby into shape and negotiate an epic contract that will establish me once and for all as the top hockey agent in the league.

Rayanne Miller has a problem: it's almost Christmas, and she doesn't have a Christmas tree set up in her beautiful new apartment. Unable to find help beyond her best friend’s younger brother, Rayanne is worried about spending time with the boy she grew up with and the man he’s become. Even if there’s a fangirl swooning at his cheeky grin and finely toned arms. The job must be completed, and it looks like Caleb Gardiner is the man for the job.

Ciara Quinn wants to have it all and is beginning to believe that it’s possible when her fated mate Preston proposes. But as soon as his family sees the ring, they start pressuring Ciara to consider a merger between their two companies.

I’m a hot-headed pro hockey player with a reputation for two things: reckless fights on the ice and a taste for older women off of it. But this time I might just be in over my head with an older single mom.

Ciara’s beginning to think that her wedding to her fated mate, Preston, may never happen after The Raze released a sinister new drug on the Vegas strip. It has the potential to wipe out shifters on a mass scale, and Preston's protective instincts have gone into overdrive. As the new alpha, Preston feels duty-bound to protect Ciara and his pack, and is determined to destroy The Raze’s operations once and for all—even if it means uniting with dangerous adversaries.

Salvatore Vitale met Isabella through a chance first time encounter, but that’s all it took. One night with the blonde bombshell, and he was hooked. That is, until someone in the family said they would pay him good money to track her down.

I'm in over my head with not one, but two, ex-boyfriends at the same wedding. Both of which I haven't seen in over a year. When the one who ripped my heart into pieces backs me into a corner, I grab the other and kiss him.

My name is Belle. After Kronos takes control of Delerood, my soldiers and I are forced to retreat. Realizing the blow is a big one, I also realize the only way back into Delerood and through Kronos’ time-loop, which keeps outsiders out, is by returning to Castle Chimera. There, I’ll need to appeal to the three monsters who live there, monsters known as Alder, Horatius, and Beacon.

Maisie runs into my life in need of saving, literally. Like Little Red Riding Hood, she dons a red coat and is running from wolves. Life has a funny way of playing jokes on people.

With Christmas right around the corner, maybe it’s time to stop living in my grief and give in to the magic of the season.
