Christmas Ink by Skylar Sinclair

Christopher Kringle, son of the Kris Kringle isn’t interested in carrying on the family business. He’d rather help the citizens of Wadeville as their doctor. When a special patient is brought in after a motorcycle accident unusual things start to happen including a curious itching on his butt. Kandi Cane had a terrible accident, and healing is going to take some time. If only she didn’t have to have an attack of unreasonable lust every time a certain doctor was nearby. But how does she tell a perfectly normal, handsome man that she isn’t quite human?

Devon Falls: Sticky Magic by Raine Delight

Preserving an ancient bloodline sends a man in search of his mate in the town of Devon Falls.

The woman helping him select a gift for his mother is just the person he’s looking for. Can he convince Jenna they were meant to be?

Festival of Lights by Melissa Glisan

When war hits, Saka takes protecting Jacob and his people seriously and will die protecting them. Survival is a miracle against a vicious enemy, but not nearly as miraculous as the love she has for Jacob or the lamp in the temple that doesn’t run out of oil.

Christmas Belle by Dawn Montgomery

In the realm of magic anything can happen, but can a kiss cause the end of the world? Belle thinks so. Kissing Roarke has cast a spell of unimagined magnitude. Guilt eats at Belle for causing the freezing of human and fae alike. Loving Roarke has caused this. Can they find a way to reverse the spell? And what will become of her love for him if they do?

Heart’s Desire by Michelle Hasker

Aine has a talent for giving people the desire of their hearts. All she asks for is help, one time, when another seeks their heart’s desire. When Aine is followed by a couple of thugs, Adhamh rushes to protect her. What he doesn’t expect is the flare of desire and vague sense of familiarity he feels in her presence. Given the choice of his own heart’s desire, finding the person who turned him into one of the living dead, or staying with Aine, Adhamh finds the decision isn’t as easy as he thought it would be.

The Game by Jeanne Barrack
A trip to his grandparents’ cabin for some quiet alone time to get to know Sheri better is all Dave wants. He doesn’t expect the company of their roommates, Frank and Marci. Nor does he expect they’ll be snowed in, unable to obtain the provisions missing from their rustic surrounds. But those aren’t the only surprises he discovers. Follow Dave and Sheri as they learn more about each other and their cabin mates while they play “Strip Dreidle” to while away their time and engage in some extraordinary sexual adventures.

Kayleigh doesn’t expect to find love with an ancient spirit, but how, oh how, is she to keep loving him when he’s banished from her realm for months at a time, with no hope of communication?
