The Most Wonderful Lie Of The Yearby Lisa McKendrick

One lonely musician, two rival cousins, leads to three nights of festive fun!

When the handsome vice principal of Christmas High School stops to listen to Sorina perform on the street, she expects him to leave a tip, not accuse her of being a fake.

Dougal Fletcher is on to her scam–pretending to play while the amp does the work, and it’s not appreciated in Christmas, the most Christmassy town on Earth! (Bethlehem excluded.)

However, more offensive than Dougal’s accusation is his returning moments later to ask Sorina to be his date for the evening…his fake date, to be precise.

For Sorina it’s a no, until Dougal confesses that he’s in love with local weather girl, Gayle Martinez, and can’t bear the thought of showing up at Merry and Bright—the hottest Christmas party in town–alone when he knows Gayle will be there with a date. And, according to Dougal, the only difference between faking the violin and faking to be his date is that the second gig pays better.

With nothing to look forward to but a quiet Christmas away from family, Sorina agrees to be Dougal’s date, a decision which sets her on a Christmastime adventure involving a castle, lavish parties, a four-hundred-year-old violin, and Andre Fletcher, a brooding security director responsible for protecting the violin. . .and stealing her heart.

Christmas magic is in the air making anything seem possible, even finding true love. But can Sorina count on Andre when she needs him most?

Curl up with this wildly funny page-turner about Christmas, the joys of the season, and the things that matter most.

Lyon of the Highlandsby Emily Royal

Marriage to an Earl destroyed her—can a highland beast mend her heart?

After surviving an abusive marriage to an older man, Wilhelmina Redstone retreated from society. Her stepson’s wife, Lily, once her rival, promises to find Mina the perfect husband—a man to love her as she deserves—by engaging the services of Bessie Dove-Lyon, proprietress of the Lyon’s Den, who secured Lily’s own marriage. On entering the Lyon’s Den, Mina glimpses a huge, savage Highlander among the dandies, and his appearance both terrifies and thrills her.

Laird Duncan MacLeish must marry for money—quickly—to avoid bankruptcy. Resigning himself to a loveless match, he sets off for London, and the infamous Lyon’s Den, where wealthy harridans are rumoured to do, and pay, anything to wed a title. But, when he competes in an extraordinary game, he learns that the prospective bride is no harridan, but a widow with soulful eyes and a tragic past.

Carried off to the Highlands, a world away from the genteel society she’s always known, Mina begins to fall for the stranger she’s married—a man whose savage appearance belies his tender heart, and whose body ignites previously unknown sensations.

But, if Mina is to find the happiness she craves, she must first conquer the nightmares of her past.

Bad Boy Bachelor Christmasby Weston Parker

The Grinch ain’t got nothing on me.

The only good and green thing about Christmas is the money it rakes in.

I’m not interested in carols, candies, or dealing with extra-Christmassy type people.

Until I hire one. A hot college student joins my design team.

She makes up for her annoying jovial spirit with her sexy curves.

And her willingness to give herself to me.

If only that was enough.

When it comes to business, she hasn’t got a clue.

Or does she?

Clients love her and the Christmas spirit is practically a pillar of her personality.

Luckily, that spirit doesn’t keep her off the naughty list.

She knows how to be bad for me, and it’s so good.

What I didn’t expect was for her to help heal parts of me that have been broken for a long time.

Maybe Christmas won’t be so bad this year.

Maybe profit margins and growth don’t matter half as much as getting the girl.

Maybe it’s time to give up my bad boy bachelor status?

Or maybe not…

Another Fuggin’ War Storyby Herald Paetow

This story is written by a lifelong pothead. Me. Most of it is probably true, if not a little exaggerated. So, if there’s any question on the veracity of my tale, I’ll refer to you elsewhere because only those who were there know the truth.

What I can tell you is how overwhelming it is to have someone’s life in my hands while secretly wondering what the hell to do next. But here I am, everyone looking for me to save them. No matter, I’ll keep my guys alive if it’s the last thing I do. Then, when it’s over, I’ll undoubtedly find some trouble to get into because life’s too short not to have a little fun.

The waiting joint is my reward, promising great ideas to keep me busy. If only they didn’t backfire so spectacularly – like the time I took on the rat infestation with C4 and an ammo can, when I caused myself to be whipped by a 100-foot tree, or the time I blew up half of the encampment. Now all I have to do is stay out of my C.O.’s line of sight, which is not as easy a task as you might think.

“This is not a traditional war story, but instead a journey of a young man coming of age in a war-torn country. From the moments of crisis where he shows his true grit to save a life, to the trouble he gets into daily, you won’t be bored. And it’s all true.” – P. B. Lee, Spec. 4

Paul Neustrom is the author of “Death of a Yellow Page Salesman” and co-author of TOP GUN Coaching in “Coaching Inc” by Ray Brehm. (Dauntless Press)

Having advised and consulted over 10,000 business owners never prepared Paul for hitting the lowest point in his career.

Recovering from that was not an instant process but Paul describes the struggles and triumphs of that journey in his book. His mission now is to help entrepreneurs and business owners to dominate in marketing through: KillingItOnline.com

Marketing is Paul Neustrom’s specialty, and he has written this book to show how the power of words will change your life.

Through this book, you will learn how to grow and transform your business and life by gaining inspiration from the small, still voice of God.

It’s Always Been Youby Jacob Parker

Love is quickly becoming my least favorite four-letter word.

I let a girl into my heart once, and she nearly destroyed me.

The last time I saw her she was in the back seat of her father’s car, leaving me forever.

No goodbye.

No mercy.

That was ten years ago.

Now the sexy vixen from my past is back in town looking to hire a consultant.

This is my way back in.

But not for redemption or a second chance.

For sticky-sweet vengeance.

Her business is the most important thing to her, and I can vengeance—or waste her time trying.

If she doesn’t take me down first with curves that make me pace the floor at night.

But everything changes when I meet him.

Her ten-year-old son.

I believe in coincidences, but this is too much.

He has my eyes and my middle name, but she swears I’m not the father.

Trusting her means dropping walls I’ve spent a decade building trying to keep her out.

Unfortunately for me?

It’s always been her.

I Choose Darknessby Jenny Lawson

From cheap costumes to creepy dolls to questionable candy, number one New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson weaves a hauntingly hilarious account of her ongoing—sometimes outrageous—Halloween life.

The holly-jolly holidays aren’t for everyone, least of all when you look back on that one Christmas when there were two definitely haunted dolls waiting for you and your sister under the tree. You have to assume that’s where it all started.

And so it was for Jenny Lawson. Now, she lives in the land of eternal Halloween, as evidenced by her interior decor and general state of darkness. (Although, if you ask her, her taxidermy zoo is less dark, more delightful. But not everyone has taste, so what are you going to do?)

This essay takes Jenny back to where it all started, from her humble beginnings as a trick-or-treater in the 1980s, on high alert for (logistically improbable) candy laced with razor blades and the (allegedly) ever-present threat of satanists on the loose. From there, she has risen from the candy-wrapper ashes of her childhood to claim her rightful lifestyle as the queen of Halloween.

Courting Lady Yeardlyby Sandra Sookoo

Betrayal’s ache is as painful as falling out of love… Gilbert Edmund Winterbourne—Lord Yeardly—has been separated from his wife for three years. Convinced she had an affair with his best friend shortly before he left for India to make his fortune, he hasn’t spent time with her since. When he and his siblings are summoned to the countryside for Midsummer festivities… she’s there. Surely, he can’t still have feelings for her.

Healing from grief shouldn’t be left to the lonely… Madelene Winterbourne—Lady Yeardly—has agreed to see her in-laws against her better judgment. After suffering the loss of two pregnancies, she also mourned the break in her fledging marriage, for her estranged husband was adamant she’d strayed. Now he’s here, and they have to put on an act, for the family assumes their marriage is strong and happy, but those initial emotions linger.

Second chances have the potential to be much sweeter…Close and reluctant proximity means they’re forced to repair their tattered nuptial bond, as well as work through shared grief and dashed hopes. Secrets they both keep boil to the surface and clear the slate, leading to common ground and a surprising new courtship. Yet fear is a difficult demon to bury, as is doubt. The pair will need to grasp determination and trust to build a love that’s more powerful than everything else, for only then can they have the romance they’ve always wanted.

Secret Daddyby K.C. Crowne

My darkest secret?
I allowed a complete stranger to seduce me.
That night I walked away with two things: His first name. And his baby.
Now he’s back and this time he’s not letting me out of his sight.

Those few hours we shared together were the most erotic of my life.
Dominic showed me what a real man’s touch was like.
He awakened parts of me I never knew existed.

But it all went up in flames after I learned the truth about him.
And I left as fast as I could.

Now, years later, he’s back and I’m freaking the hell out.

“We’ve got unfinished business.”

“No. You have the wrong girl.”

To which he replies: “Maybe I wasn’t clear. You left once. I won’t allow you to leave twice.”

Now it’s becoming abundantly clear to me Dominic has a few dark secrets of his own.
And that makes me especially concerned about the future of our child – and his reaction when he finds out.

TALES OF THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY An aging, ex-musician working inside the incinerator chamber of an old 19th century hotel discovers a locked room that contains a Book of Souls of tenants of the past century. A soldier returning from the Iraq War meets a beautiful and enigmatic girl waging her own military campaign, as darkly terrifying as the one he left behind. The son of a New Orleans mobster hit-man receives a beyond-the-grave message from his once-abusive, now-dead father that changes everything he thought he knew about their lives. A homeless man, collecting cans to survive, finds himself being followed by a stranger he is sure is the reincarnation of Dick Tracy. A woman who has lost her Texas ranchman husband and any further meaning to her life, is suddenly contacted by a young runaway cousin whose parents are also dead, and is now in hot pursuit of her own aimless existence. From tragic to comic and in-between, these and other tales journey and explore the zeitgeist, the spirit of our age, which was the late twentieth century. (Short Stories) James Snyder’s previous works include the young-adult, literary trilogy THE BEAUTIFUL-UGLY; the military thriller AMERICAN WARRIOR; and the award-winning, suspense thriller DESOLATION RUN: “Simultaneously brutal, bloody and beatific, this is crime fiction done right. A relentlessly paced, unpredictable page-turner powered by well-developed characters.” Kirkus Reviews

The Determined Mistressby Emily E K Murdoch

Micah de Petras finds solace in one place: the arms of his mistress.

That should be mistresses – after all, why limit yourself to one? Micah never saw the point in settling for anything less, considering it’s his sister and not himself who is the de Petras heir.

Babysitting his sister? Holding an actual baby? Isn’t there some sort of gambling den he can lose himself in?

Scorned by the other gentleman of Society and frustrated with the constant irritations of his family, Micah returns again and again to the only woman who wants nothing more from him than his weekly allowance. The trouble is, Catherine Tetlow has had enough.

Enough of being Micah’s Thursday evening; enough of making love then waking up alone; enough of being treated merely like a mistress by the turbulent handsome gentleman. She has a plan, and Catherine is determined to win not just the body, but the heart of Micah de Petras.

If only she did not have so much to lose with secrets of her own…

When a gentleman vows never to lose his heart and his favorite mistress challenges him to do just that, sparks will fly and hearts will be bruised as a couple who are certainly not a couple are both determined not to have their way – no matter the cost?

This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order, but is best enjoyed in sequence.
