Lumber Snack by Mae Harden
On the first day of Christmas, I climbed my true love’s tree…
Dear Santa,
After everything I’ve been through this year, I think we can both agree that I deserve something special in my stocking this Christmas. And the burly, axe-toting, mountain man that just rescued me from an icy death sure fits the bill. At least, he would if he could pull that spruce tree out of his back chimney.
I’ve always been the nice girl, but all it’s ever gotten me is a cheating ex, a closet full of bridesmaid dresses, and one lonely Christmas after another. Maybe it’s time to try the naughty list…
Love,
Millie Partridge
Dear Santa,
I know I said I wanted to meet a woman. I just wasn’t expecting to find her in my pear tree. And yeah, I shouldn’t complain about getting snowed in with my sexy little trespasser, but it’s getting hard to keep my head on straight when she’s near.
Despite the off-key caroling, the baking disasters, and that one modest house fire, Millie Partridge is growing on me like a sexy little piece of mistletoe. I’m trying to keep it cool, but if she knew all the things I’ve been thinking, it might lead to a not-so-silent night and more than one thing getting laid under my Christmas tree…
Send help,
Sam Barnes

Stuck at Christmas by Georgia Coffman
On the second day of Christmas, these two turtle doves are stuck together…
As a doctor, my practice is my priority and leaves little time for dating. It’s the furthest thing in my mind.
Until her.
To my surprise, one night is all it takes for me to fall for her, even though I know next to nothing about her.
I never thought I’d see my mystery woman again, but like a holiday miracle, she shows up at my clinic one night with her young daughter.
Every minute I’m with them only makes me fall harder, but our situation isn’t so simple.
Getting stuck in a closet with Isabel just days before Christmas might be the gift we didn’t know we needed.

Merry Christ-Mess by Dee Ellis
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love came to be my best friend
Mila Masters has her life figured out. Writing splashy stories by day while she writes dirty ditties at night, she knows better to want for more. Unless it’s the love and adoration it seems everyone else is finding. Sweet, forever after love is for romance books, not real life.
Or maybe she has had the best book boyfriend right in front of her.
Micah Townes busted his ass to get his life right. A troubled youth means he takes nothing for granted. Especially the most important person in his life, Mila. Even if he wants more from her, he knows not to ask at the risk of losing her.
A double date raises the stakes of their friendship—which maybe is not just a friendship after all.

A Very Pierced Christmas by Ember Davies
On the fifth day of Christmas…he has rings in all the right places.
ROWAN
After years of traveling for my blog, seeing more of the world than I ever thought I would, there’s something tugging me home for more than just the holidays. I have no idea what it is, other than some sort of delayed homesickness, until I meet Levi Michaels.
I’ve been talking to him via text and email about a custom motorcycle for my brother, but I had no idea I’d be meeting the sexiest guy ever when I go to pick it up. Talk about bad boy biker vibes. He’s got a beard I want rubbed all over my body even if he is a Grinch. When we meet, I swear I hear carolers singing, but something makes him go colder than the North Pole.
Maybe he’s not a reason to stay. Maybe he’s a reason to keep traveling.
LEVI
Anyone who tells you Christmas is the best time of the year is a liar and should be watched with great suspicion. It’s true. How can the big man in red even be trusted? Delivering gifts around the world reeks of conman.
When I meet Rowan Peters, I can feel a little bit of holiday cheer filter in for the first time in years. She’s a Christmas miracle if I’ve ever seen one, all sinful curves I want to lean into. Then I find out the motorcycle I’ve been working on for her is really for a man. It must be her husband. Somehow the lights, even the twinkly ones, dim with the knowledge that she’ll never be mine.
When I’m set straight, the only thing to do is go after my woman and show her one of my golden rings is just for her.
If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Meet Levi in Healing Her Home (Banks Ink. Book 5).

Delay of Game by Evie Graham
On the sixth day of Christmas, the geese aren’t the only thing a-laying…
Patrick O’Reilly is known for two things. His skills on the ice and his skill off the ice. When an injury forces him to retire, he does the only thing that makes sense; he packs his wounded pride and his bags, and leaves the memories behind.
Lorelei Cole thought she had everything together. Her Christmas Tree Farm was holding its own, and her flock of rescue animals was growing. Then, two pink lines showed up from a one-night stand and everything changed.
When a chance encounter at a small-town gas station brings Patrick and Lorelei back together, neither can deny that their past has collided with their future. Through ups and downs and a hard-won friendship with a flock of geese, both of them will find that the best miracles do come at Christmas time.

Hot Mess Christmas Express by Claire Hastings
On the seventh day of Christmas, some of the swans are missing…
Caleb is hot. Sienna is a hot mess. But after just one night together, a mix-up causes this delightfully dreamy doctor to freeze out the reluctant pharmaceutical sales rep.
For two years, Caleb has given Sienna the silent treatment until a holiday wedding at the Seven Swans Inn forces him to acknowledge her existence again. And despite their chilly past, the forecast for Christmas quickly becomes hot and steamy.
‘Tis the season for mistletoe kisses, but when the magic wears off will this second chance be nothing more than a second heartbreak?

Secrets and Mistletoe by Julia Jarrett
On the eighth day of Christmas my true love was the only maid a milking….
Except Abby Martin is no milkmaid, even if I do find her hanging out with cows a lot. And she isn’t my true love. Is she?
She’s mother of one of my students and should be off limits. But I can’t seem to stay away from her. Even if we have to keep it a secret at first, our chemistry needs to be explored and under the mistletoe seems the perfect place to do just that.
But when things start to get real, I’ve got my work cut out for me proving to Abby and her daughter that this Christmas, we might all get the gift of love.

Off the Market at Christmas by Chelle Sloan
On the ninth day of Christmas, I was asked out on the Jumbotron…
The saying goes that nice guys finish last.
The more accurate statement is that nice guys and nerds finish last.
We don’t get the girl. We don’t get the happily ever after. Even if it is the one thing we’ve asked for from Santa Claus this Christmas.
So when Presley Dawson comes back into my life after twenty years, I don’t even try. What’s the point? As a Nashville Fury cheerleader, she is the fantasy of every man in Tennessee. What would the girl next door from my childhood want with a geek like me?
She’s outgoing. I’d rather stay inside. She’s adventurous. I think adventure comes in the form of a new video game.
We have nothing in common.
Except when we’re together. Then there are enough sparks to guide Santa’s sleigh without Rudolph.
But when she finds out that I never outgrew my geek phase, will she still want me? Or will our story be over before the ball drops at midnight?

Bachelor #10 by Kat Baxter
Remember going to a bachelor charity auction and bidding on the sexy Scottish bad boy of soccer for your supermodel boss from hell? But the press got it wrong and think you’re the one who spending a ridiculous amount of money to go on a date with him?
No? Right, that was me. Seriously, how is this my life?
Now because of some PR nightmare he’s in, Abbott and I are stuck going on a date of convenience. Because who doesn’t want to root for the hot jock and the awkward chubby girl? My boss is so angry she’s threatening to actually chew celery instead of simply drinking it, and I’m convinced there is not enough coffee in the world to make Mr. Grumpy Pants smile.
But something suspicious and confusing happens on our date…we have fun. And we kiss. A lot. That brogue of his talks me right out of my knickers, so do I believe him when he says this is real? Or is this all one big publicity stunt?

Under the Thistle-toe by Mindy McKinley
Two years post-broken heart, Mia Tate has learned how to move on. Mostly. Her B&B, the Thistle Do keeps her busy in the small Scottish-American tourist town of Aberdeen, Illinois. With a dating pool she can count on one hand, though, she’s come to terms with the fact that she’ll have to learn to love being alone. That is until a six-foot-five, bagpiping hottie shows up on her front step and dares to make her feel again.
As leader of the pipe band Aon Dueg, Finn MacGowan is growing tired of his life of travel. Aberdeen is just the latest stop in a whirlwind life that keeps him moving constantly. In town to work with the high school pipe band for the Christmas parade, the last thing Finn expects is to find is a woman that turns him upside down and a new calling that could change everything. All he has left to do is convince Mia that he’s worth taking a second chance at love.

It Must Have Been the Mistletoe by M.L. Broome
On the twelfth day of Christmas…there’s more than one surprise under the tree.
It Must Have Been the Mistletoe is the final installment in 12 Days of Kissmas, twelve standalone novellas guaranteed to warm even the chilliest of nights! Warm up with this second chance, forced proximity story about Penny and her gorgeous ex-fiancee, Jackson.
Wine? Check
Cookies? Check
Enough supplies to last me until this holiday is over? Check, check, check.
I love Christmas, but I’m not in the mood for merriment and mistletoe this year. I have a different plan—camping out at my lakefront cabin to nurse a bottle of wine and a broken heart.
It’s all going smooth, until my ex-fiancée, Jackson, shows up on the doorstep with the same plan.
There may be a blizzard outside, but I’m far more worried about the inferno smoldering between Jackson and me—one he insists on stoking every chance he gets.
Looks like there’s more than one way to keep warm this Christmas.
