When Ben suggests an extended Christmas vacation at a resort modeled after his favorite 80s TV show, Dylan reluctantly agrees. Sure, his heart breaks a bit every time he sees them together, but it’s a vacation in the Bahamas. How bad can it be?
At first, the resort seems like any other. Dylan plans to work on his tan, get laid, and hunt for Hollywood’s most in-demand director – not necessarily in that order. Then he meets Connor, a tennis instructor still hurting from a bad breakup. Connor knows Dylan’s reputation and refuses to be seduced. Dylan sees Connor as just another conquest, but this tropical island isn’t as mundane as it appears. It has its own kind of magic, and it’s about to make things interesting.

When Jax returned home to his small town of Hardin, Kentucky- the last thing he thought he’d find was the life he left behind, and the desire to return.
Jax- I’m going home for the holidays for the first time in three years. It’s also been three years since I’ve gone home. I blame work and the life I worked hard for in Los Angeles. It’s a major league team, and if I hadn’t worked so hard, I wouldn’t have accomplished this. But I had to come back. My high school coach is retiring and he asked me to be his keynote speaker. Home… It comes with a lot of baggage. Why did I have to bump into Kenny? He’s the largest piece of baggage I left behind. But he smiled at me, and all I could think of were the good times we had. Not the heartbreak he caused… I need to remember that he was never good for me. He was selfish and full of himself, and he had no right to look so hot.
Kenny- The holidays always bring about a bunch of crap that I really don’t want to deal with. My parents have both died and celebrating Christmas alone is… Well, it’s not fun. It’s depressing and sad. But maybe this holiday will be different? I’m tired of being alone, in my own forced exile. Maybe it’s time to embrace the future? Besides, Jax is back in town. His mother told me he was coming in. But am I ready to see him again after all the hurt I know I caused him? I know what my heart says. It’s only ever been Jax for me, even if he does deserve better.

What would you do if you woke up injured and didn’t know who you were?
Well, that’s precisely what’s happened to me.
A hot stranger with white-blond hair and bright blue eyes says his name is Eric and claims mine is Dylan. Apparently, he was my best friend. Running into Eric felt weird, but so was waking up in an abandoned building, not knowing who I was. I’d fallen through the ceiling, and I’d been shot! I don’t remember anything else, but at least Eric wants to help me, and the chemistry between us is undeniable…I think.
It doesn’t take long to find out I’m not the man Eric remembers. There are things about me, things I can do, that don’t fit with the man he knew before. Worse yet, I have an ugly past, and it’s coming back bit by bit to bite me. Why are the Russian Mafia and the cops after me? I have no idea what kind of man I used to be, and finding out scares me, but now Eric is caught up in the chaos, and that’s unacceptable. Thank God he still believes in me…for now.
I don’t know how to fix this, especially when I don’t remember enough to know what’s going on. I know one thing for sure, Eric is starting to mean a lot to me, and I’m starting to desire things I shouldn’t. He’s all I have right now, so no matter what happens, I’m getting us out of this mess, one way or another.
That I promise.

One starry, starry night, an unexpected romance blossoms between two unlikely souls during a time of Christmas lockdown.
One glacial Friday night in late October 2020, Spencer K Wyrrell—Squirrel—sits hidden behind an evergreen bush, freezing his arse off on a stone bench in the deserted twentieth-floor rooftop garden of his boss’ London flat. Taking a break from volunteering to show social-distanced guests around her penthouse gallery of abstract art, he is waiting with an ice bucket and a bottle of champagne for the arrival of his habitually unpunctual colleague and best friend, Bev. But when the balcony door eventually slides open, the person who steps out is not his friend at all but the smoking hot celebrity and chat show host, Marshall J Highlander. Unsure what to do, Squirrel stays put and overhears Highlander’s private call. A newspaper is threatening to publish nude photographs of him and his ex-boyfriend from a holiday in France.
After more calls are made, an eerie silence descends on the rooftop. When a curious Squirrel peers through the evergreen plant, he notices Highlander has climbed up onto the small wall surrounding the garden, looking out to the River Thames. In a moment of panic, he decides to show himself, because, celebrity or not, everyone is only human and, as his mother had always drummed into him, most problems can be softened with well-chosen words, a little understanding, and a hug tight enough to make your eyes water.

BLURB:
Ah, Christmas. The most magical time of the year. A time when the snow is falling, cider is flowing, and couples are kissing under the mistletoe.
Too bad all that makes me want to gag.
Look, it isn’t that I’m a hater, it’s just that I have a job to do, and this particular holiday is getting in the way of that. And I know what you’ll say, that Micah Noble’s Christmas Tree Farm is a beloved tradition for many of the families of Merrihill, but you have to see the bigger picture here: a five-star luxury resort where overworked Manhattanites can escape to, a serene place of spas and shopping and watching sexy lumberjacks chopping wood…
Oh, wait, scratch that last one. Lumberjacks aren’t my thing. Anymore. Micah Noble cured me of that, which tends to happen when you’re trying to buy someone’s family land to bulldoze to the ground.
He can call me a Scrooge all he wants, but business is business, and pleasure is…well, not something I can afford to think about. Even if it does come packaged in those tight jeans and flannel shirts that make me want to rip them off with my teeth—
No. This is not happening. I will not think of Micah as anything other than an obstacle to getting what I want. A really, really sexy obstacle.
Ugh. Screw Christmas and the sleigh it rode in on.

He’s been my childhood friend. My high school rival. The guy I couldn’t stop dreaming about, long after I thought I’d left him and Honeybridge in my rear-view mirror.
Now he’s the key to the giant promotion that can make or break my career… if I can just convince the man to give me the distribution rights for his award-winning mead.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done.
Flynn’s not the guy he used to be. His gorgeous eyes used to spark with dreams and fire, but now he looks at me with cold fury. And just like Achilles had his heel and Samson had his hair, I had Flynn Honeycutt, the one man I’d never been able to charm, despite an entire life spent winning people over.
I’m not giving up, though. Because I’m not the kid I used to be, either. And because, if the two of us can survive a long, hot summer filled with his family’s crazy antics and my mother’s single-handed determination to keep the Wellbridge-Honeycutt feud alive, there might just be a chance for both of us to get what we want:
A new dream.
The fulfillment of an old town legend.
And another chance to spark Firecracker to life.

Retiring from the sport he loved had never been part of Crow’s five-year plan. Unfortunately, the head injuries he’s amassed over years of Mixed Martial arts fighting have left him little choice but to throw in the towel and begin a new, shaky road towards…what? He’s got no clue, that’s for sure. In fact, the only thing he’s certain of is that living a few short blocks from the gym is not the way to put the sport behind him, not when he still hasn’t told any of his friends or training partners exactly why it is he suddenly decided to hang up his gloves.
Moving is the only option that comes to mind, and what better place to retreat to than the beauty of the Vermont wilderness he loved visiting in his younger days. After all, he still has family there, and it’s far removed from the sport he’s struggling to walk away from.
Speaking of walking away. Ever since he found proof of his late husband’s infidelity, Jaylon’s been wishing the man had abandoned him long before his illness stole his life. At least then he wouldn’t be torn between fury and mourning, wondering what he’d done to drive away the man he’d loved. He’s way too old to be starting over, or at least, that’s what he tells himself before Crowley “Crow” Davies pulls up to the cabin Jaylon was renting out, beautiful hitchhiker in tow.
Now he’s got one eye on Crow and one on Owen, a budding new dynamic forming between them, but will it all come crashing down when Crow’s best friend, Jesse, shows up, looking to reconnect. A former fighter who left the sport two years before, he’s been friends with benefits with Crowley since before either stepped foot in a cage to fight. The chemistry between the sheets is smokin’ hot, but there’s always been something missing, something the two never could put their fingers on.
Can the inclusion of Owen and Jaylon provide the pieces they’ve always needed, or will someone find themselves left out in the cold.

But he’s hiding something. Something big. And it could risk the garage I’ve spent years of my life working on. Learning to like Hywel is an effort, but maybe I’m wise to be wary of him.

Sebastian
I wanted to be the best; that was always the goal, and getting out from under my tyrant of a boss and setting up a business with my brother was the way I achieved that.
But, in order to maintain the advantage, I have to network. Unfortunately, these events are less than the social highlight I imagined them to be but, when I ditch the expected fiery redheaded woman for a night of passion with someone completely unexpected, sparks fly.
It’s a one-off, or that’s what I tell myself.
An indulgence I can’t be allowed if I want to succeed. And I do. I will.
Walker
I’m struggling. That’s how these things always start, right?
Things are hard and someone rushes in to my rescue and magically fixes every problem I’ve ever had with nothing more than a click of their fingers. Unfortunately, I live in the real world where you have to fix problems yourself, which is how I found myself signing a contract with one of the most renowned advertising companies in the area.
What I wasn’t expecting, was the man I had a one-night stand with to be my new manager, and it’s more than clear the rest of the world doesn’t know what I do about him.

“We’re going to have a brilliant Christmas, Andreas. Just like it was ten years ago, all of us together,” Vati said, placing steaming cups of coffee in front of us. “We’re just pointing out that you and Fredrik always had something special, and you haven’t seen each other for years. It will be lovely for you to reconnect.”
“Reconnecting is fine. We can discuss college life versus German nursing schools, drink Jägerbombs and watch weird Norwegian shit on TV. Christmas will be thrilling.”
“Andreas…” Vati warned as Lottie burst into giggles.
“You adore Fredrik. Still. I can see it in your eyes. You go all panic-stricken and weird when we even mention Freee—”
“Fredrik has a girlfriend in America. Maria hates my guts. Frank and Thomas will whip my butt for not visiting over summer, and anyway, I have to buy them a big present to bribe them to even talk to me.”
Vati smiled. “Frank and Thomas love you like a son, and they will just hug the shit out of you as usual.”
“Alongside Maria’s boyfriend, and Fredrik’s girlfriend. It will be a delightful group hug.” I snarled.
“Fredrik’s girlfriend isn’t coming. I told you that,” Vati said sternly. He was pissed off with me already, and we hadn’t even had breakfast.
“Whatever.” I huffed.
Awkward was the word I was looking for. This whole thing was going to be super awkward. Because they always were. And Fredrik? My world used to spin around the strange, blonde boy who was my best friend for a few years. He lit up my life. Then he fucked off. Well, he fucked off because I told him to. I was stupid and scared. I think he was too.
Awkward. That wasn’t even the start of what this Christmas was going to be like.

Everett Fabré was thrust into a life not of his own choosing when his entire family and the majority of his pack were killed during a tragical attack on their ship during the Civil War. One of only a few survivors, he and the others set out to continue on his pack’s mission: help those in need. When fate decided to intervene and he finds himself an enforcer in the newly formed Paranormal Council, never did he expect to scent his mate during a mission.
Jennings Williams’s birth pack…sucks, to put it nicely. They were the type of pack that made other paranormals immensely dislike wolf shifters. As the oldest and only unmated of his siblings, he decided it was time for a change and set out for Timber Valley to accept a position as a teacher in the new school for their shifter children. Finding a new friend in his next-door neighbor was only a bonus. But when his neighbor’s cousin returns from a mission, sparks ignite, and canines are involved.
Everett and Jennings struggle with their bond, and it’s no secret that Everett can be difficult. Will the new couple strengthen their bond in time before it’s lost? When new information is brought to light pertaining to the Evergreen pack and their involvement in the kidnapping ring is discovered, it doesn’t look good for Jennings’s parents.

What better Christmas present is there than a second chance at your first love?
Omega reindeer shifter Alvin was fired from his modeling gig right before Christmas. Sure, he was “modeling” as his reindeer self and refused to eat the poisonous leaf a child insisted was their present for Santa’s friend, but still…being fired sucked. It double sucked this year given he needed the money for a new hot-water tank. To keep from letting it get him down, he applied for every seasonal job he could find. His luck had to turn around —it was the most wonderful time of the year, after all.
Alpha wolf shifter Blaine thought buying a small farm was the solution to all his problems after going rogue. Berries in the summer, Christmas trees for the holidays, maple syrup in the late winter, and none of the political BS that came with his old pack life. What could be better than that? Not having your best employee deciding to move to a warmer climate just as the Holiday season began. That’s what.
When Alvin applies for the position, Blaine is taken aback. Last time he saw the reindeer shifter they were both teens and so helplessly crushing on each other that it was palpable. His pack put an end to that, but they weren’t in his life anymore and maybe…just maybe…this could be the second chance he’d always wanted.
