By Sarah Madison. 2013
Reclusive writer Noah Kinley is facing a dilemma: how to confess to the world he's really the author of a…
best-selling romance series. For years, his friend Julie has been the face of his brand, but she wants her life back now. Fast running out of ideas for his popular series, Noah wants to break out into other genres. Not that he's writing much of anything at the moment anyway, thanks to paralyzing writer's block. With his publisher breathing down his neck for the next installment, he hopes a change of scene will get his writer's juices flowing again. Desperate enough to try anything, during the holidays Noah swaps his isolated cabin in the woods for a gentrified horse farm. USAF Major Connor Harrison has chosen forced retirement over facing charges for an unauthorized mission to rescue a buddy from behind enemy lines. No one expects him home for the holidays, and he certainly didn't anticipate finding a stranger in his house, much less Noah Kinley with his acid tongue and a wry sense of humor that pierces all of Connor's defenses. Both men need to figure out what the next chapter in their lives will be--and whether it will include each other.Tre d'amore e di guai (Graffi, Fusa E Felini Ser. #1)

By Charles Dickens. 2008
Revered as one of the greatest writers in the English language, Charles Dickens is celebrated for his masterful storytelling, comic…
genius, and remarkably memorable characters. His early novels, such as The Pickwick Papers and The Adventures of Oliver Twist, were originally published in monthly installments, capturing a growing audience that quickly spread from England to America. Two centuries later, his popularity endures as readers revel in the warm humanity of his tales of self-discovery--and delight in the annual tradition of revisiting his holiday stories.Following the tremendous success of A Christmas Carol in 1843, there was great demand for more tales of ghostly visitation, and the great Victorian storyteller happily obliged with spellbinding tales such as The Haunted House. The drama begins with a Yuletide gathering in an eerie country retreat that's rumored to be haunted. There, Dickens and his friends, including acclaimed authors Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins, take on the task of finding evidence of a supernatural presence in the house. When they reconvene at a Twelfth Night feast to review their findings, what will their stories reveal?Aller guten Dinge sind drei (Fell, Fangzähne Und Feliden Ser. #1)

his flawless reputation, good sense, and wise decisions. Donner never does anything until he's thought it through properly.

Calder is a Dockalfar--a dark elf. He's wicked, untrustworthy, and armed with lethal magic. At least that's what everyone thinks. It's easy for them to believe the worst and mistrust him before they've even spoken to him, but Calder is out to prove that he's more than his Dockalfar blood, especially to a certain Rein Dear who has caught his eye. But it will take more than sweet words for Donner to admit what's in his heart.Conversation Hearts

It's Valentine's Day, and grad student--and male escort--Levi Barron expects to spend his evening with a client who's paying him…

With nothing to do but endure the company of his unwanted guest, Levi and the assassin, Sinjin, spend some time bonding over HGTV, minibar beverages, Flannery O'Connor short stories, terrible Valentine's candy, and the necessity of lying about their jobs. Their evening takes an unexpected turn when they decide to indulge in their mutual attraction, and in the morning Levi doesn't know if he's spent the night with a hired killer or a hydraulic engineer with a very specific fantasy. Either way, the two have enough chemistry--in and out of bed--that Levi isn't sure one night with Sinjin will be enough. And a message left in candy suggests the feeling is mutual.Kid Christmas Rides Again
