Grab a cuppa and your wallet!
I’ve reached out to some of my author friends on Facebook and we have a whole bunch of New Releases just in time for Christmas!
Of course, I need to start with my own 😉
Christmas with the Billionaire
“I got stuck in an elevator with a Christmas elf,” was not a sentence Zoë Farraday ever thought she would have to utter. And to have it happen in the building of her brand spanking new job kind of made the entire situation worse. Of course she had to then have a melt-down in front of him to make her humiliation complete. Asking him to come home with her for Christmas and pretend to be her boyfriend was madness and her only excuse was the trauma of her near-death experience by way of plummeting elevator. Or perhaps the way he filled out that elf costume momentarily melted her brain. It may also have had something to do with her mother’s meddling and the very real possibility of being set up with one of her dad’s colleagues that pushed her over the edge.
She didn’t think he’d accept.
A Very Royal Christmas
Lady Georgina Darkly, the newly titled Duchess of Pemberton, did not need one more thing to deal with the week before Christmas. The temperature was dropping alarmingly, a snow storm had been predicted, the milk tanks in the dairy were close to freezing and there was a leak in her bedroom roof. To top it all off Clarabelle, the cow that had a mischievous streak a mile wide, had escaped the confines of the barn and could very well freeze to death if Georgie didn’t find her soon. The absolute very last thing she needed was an arrogant, stubborn, wealthy, and undeniably gorgeous Italian to turn up on her doorstep in need of rescuing.

He is the artist of our generation.
Before he became a washed up has-been whose ego is bruised, and now he’s self-destructing with wine and women.
He’s hot.
Okay, well I have nothing.

Alas, fate brought them together again on the night of the Christmas Ball, where Wilona’s beautiful sparkling dress helped protect the Grand Duchy of Brugel against marauding invaders.
It’s the enduring and endearing Cinderella fairy tale as you never read it before.
