heart-wrenching loss of her fiancé and brother. When she arrives in town for
the holidays, Jake wants to make amends so they can both move forward with
their lives. As he helps Carly experience the magic of Christmas, will he also
be able to open her heart to…love?
In Her Christmas Secret, Sean Hughes asks snowboarder Zoe Flynn to pose as his
girlfriend at Thanksgiving dinner, which will take the pressure off him from
his meddling family, who enjoy matchmaking. But when an injury occurs, the two
are forced to continue their one-night ruse until the line between make-believe
and reality blurs. Zoe, however, has a secret…a big one. Is their new
relationship strong enough to withstand the truth?
In Her Christmas Kiss, Leanne Thomas works hard to be “one of the boys” at the
fire station and on the mountain. After she rescues gorgeous, rookie
firefighter Christian Welton, he glimpses a softer, more vulnerable side to her

mistletoe sparks a three-alarm fire, but something is holding her back. Will
Christian’s kisses break through Leanne’s tough exterior and melt her
heart?
In His Christmas Family, Bill Paulson invites two wayward travelers into his home.
Something about Grace Wilcox, a widow, and her young son touches Bill’s heart,
so he decides to give them a special Christmas. When attraction flares between
Grace and Bill, she won’t gamble her heart on a hero and Bill doesn’t consider
himself husband material. Can a little Christmas magic show them love and a
family are worth the risks?

Excerpt from His Christmas
Wish
The door cracked open.
“Welcome back, Carly,” a male voice
greeted her warmly.
She’d expected to see Hannah’s
husband of two years, Garrett Willingham, but the man standing in the doorway
looked nothing like the clean-cut, non-risk-taking, business-suit-wearing
certified public accountant. This guy was too rugged, too fit, too…familiar.
“Jacob Porter.”
Over six feet tall with brown hair
that fell past his collar, he still had piercing blue eyes, a killer smile, and
a hot, hard body that made the girls, herself included, swoon back in high
school. Those features had only improved with age.
Her pulse kicked up a notch. “What
are you doing here?”
“Waiting for you.” His grin widened,
the same way it had whenever he and Nick teased her. “Merry Christmas.”
“Merry…” Simply thinking the word
left a bitter taste in her mouth. She couldn’t bring herself to say it.
“Season’s greetings. Where’s Hannah?”
“At a doctor’s appointment,” Jacob
explained. “Garrett drove her. She didn’t know if they’d be home by the time
you arrived or before the school bus dropped off Kendall and Austin, so they
asked me to come over.”
Carly noticed Jacob’s clothes—a
light blue button-down oxford shirt, khaki pants, and brown leather shoes. A
bit more stylish than the T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers she remembered him
wearing. He must have come from work.
“Thank you.” Though she wasn’t
surprised. Jacob had always gone out of his way for them, a surrogate
everything to what remained of the Bishop family. He’d found her the job in
Philadelphia. He’d taught Nick’s two kids to ski and fish. He’d even introduced
Hannah to Garrett.
“Come inside before you get too
cold.” Jacob reached for Carly’s suitcase. His hand—big, callused, and
warm—brushed hers. The accidental contact startled her, and she jerked away.
“You city girls aren’t used to the temperatures up here.”
Forget the cold. She wasn’t used to
her response to his touch. That was unusual for her. “Philadelphia gets cold,
too.”
As she stepped inside, heat
surrounded Carly, cocooning her with the inviting comforts of home. The homey
touches—a fleece blanket on a chair, throw pillows, candles, and framed
photos—were ones missing from her apartment.
His gaze ran the length of her. “You
look the same.”
He looked better. “So does this
place.”
And that somehow made
everything…worse.
