A Kiss is Just a Kiss by Linda Barlow
It’s Christmastide, but
Holly Mathers can’t seem to get into the spirit. She’s been obsessing for weeks
over a hook-up gone wrong with the hot, green-eyed Will MacIvey, who’s treating
her like the ghost of Christmas past. When she and her roommate are invited to
a Winter Solstice celebration by their faculty advisor, Holly is thrilled to
learn that Will is going to the party. Holly’s roommate has procured a sprig of
enchanted mistletoe that she plans to use to steal a kiss from the sexy
professor. When she chickens out, Holly decides to try the spell on Will,
hoping that a kiss under the mistletoe will remind him of the steamy night he
seems to have forgotten. But magic always comes with a price…
Author Bio
Linda Barlow lives in New England with her
mysterious spouse (who sleeps during the day, which has often made her wonder

In the Bleak Midwinter by Andra Brynn
In the bleak midwinter…
With no money and
nowhere to go, Ayla MacFarlane’s first midwinter break from college returns her
to the decaying house she grew up in–and to the shadow of her father, whose
perverse obsession with her made her years there a misery. Now under her
father’s control again, Ayla knows that if she leaves once more it will only be
a matter of time before their father turns his sights to her little sister
Julia…
“There’s a boy in the
woods…”
But the hunted are not
always without protection. While Ayla has been away, Julia has made friends
with a mysterious boy in the woods that surround their property. Certain he is
up to no good, Ayla sets out to confront him, only to find a beautiful young
man who speaks in riddles and makes her heart race. What is stranger is that he
knows things no human should know, and he tells Ayla that he can help her…for a
price.
The hunt is on…
As the solstice nears,
the time of reckoning is at hand. Will Ayla have the courage to reclaim all her
father stole from her and protect her little sister, or will she be be a slave
to her fear, and lose her chance to save herself forever?

I write books. Obsessively. And I read books.
Not quite as obsessively as I'd like, since there are all these books I have to
write, you see. One day I will take a book vacation and do nothing but read my
TBR list.

Love Charm for Dakota by Carly Carson
Nantucket is the home of
hedge fund titans, old money and hidebound tradition. Habits are comfortable,
and the habits of the rich are very comfortable. Into Cabot Saltonstall’s
sedate world blows Dakota Bishop, possessor of a wild spirit and a magical love
charm. Cabot’s blue-blood family history includes an ancestor who resigned from
the Salem Witch trials, because he refused to believe in witchcraft.
But Cabot is all too
willing to be bewitched.
Dakota can’t stay still
long enough for anyone to tie her down, nor is Cabot the right kind of guy for
her. If only he’d have sex with her so she could get him out of her system. Why
does he need to be so traditional with his emotions and plans for the future?
Does she know enough of
witchcraft to overcome the spell of the accidentally cast love charm?
Author Bio
Carly lives near Nantucket Island, where the
Christmas Stroll is an annual event. Having found her own Prince Charming at a
young age, she's never needed a love charm, but please join her as she tells
the tales of other women who've used a bit of magic to find true love.

The Snow Queen by Alana Albertson
Five years ago,
Cambridge Ballet’s Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier vanished after performing The
Nutcracker. Despite extensive city and statewide searches, no traces of them,
besides their ballet slippers, were ever found. Every year since, another
member of the cast has gone missing after closing night: the Mouse King, an
Arabian Dancer, The Dew Drop Fairy, a Flower. Nieves Alba, who as a
thirteen-year-old played Clara in the first ill-fated performance, is now cast
as the Snow Queen. On closing night, every police officer in Boston surrounds
the theater, determined to catch the perpetrator whom they’ve dubbed “The
Nutcracker.” Can Nieves break the curse or will she be the next victim of
America’s favorite ballet?
Author Bio
Alana Albertson never was fortunate to get cast
as the snow queen though she did play the soldier. She has extensive
collections of snow globes and nutcrackers but none of them have ever been
enchanted.

death of her father and the departure of her only friend, Katie sees no point
in venturing out. Then a new neighbor and his three female companions take up
residence across the road in the very house her friend had vacated four months
ago. Gabe’s eyes hold a promise to Katie when she gazes into them–a way out of
her lonely prison, if she could but step beyond her threshold. Something holds
her back: Though the past and its people seem far from her now, the trees still
know her haunting secret.

Sera Flaherty would
rather take lumps of coal and be committed to the naughty list for life than

into a negative bank balance and is left with no chance of getting her husband
Spencer a present. When faced with the reality of their relationship, Sera
finds she’s willing to sacrifice anything to fix her mistakes and find her
husband the perfect gift…even if doing so will cost more than she bargained
for.
Author Bio
Nicole Blanchard loves receiving gifts from
strangers so long as they don't come with an ominous warning or risk of
dismemberment. She also enjoys taking full advantage of the fringe benefits of
being on the naughty list in her spare time.

age old traditions underway and a diverse guest list including the handsome and
outspoken Captain Wolfe on the premises, can Lady Elizabeth heal both their
hearts and find love before it’s too late?
