The best gift of all is the one you
share with someone else. . .
From the
moment he strode through the iron gate and into the offices of Two Love Lane on
a crisp December day, it was obvious that Deacon Banks was something different.
He wasn’t a Charleston native, not with that adorable Yankee accent. And unlike
the usual client at the elegant matchmaking agency, he had no interest in
finding a woman to marry—just a few no-strings dates while he was in
town.
Macy Frost
takes her professional services very seriously—how could she not, when she’s
rumored to be a direct descendant of Cupid? Tech entrepreneur Deacon says he’s
just trying to make his social-climbing aunt happy by being seen out and about
with a few prominent beauties, but Macy insists she can make her client fall in
love…for real. And Deacon can’t help but think she might be right. As charming
as the palmetto trees and magnificent harbor may be, it’s the beautiful,
breath-of-fresh-air Macy who’s become Deacon’s favorite part of the scenery.
But can the hopelessly romantic Southern belle stop trying to fix him up and
just let Cupid do his work on her own heart?
Kieran Kramer,

With shades
of It’s a Wonderful Life, one man must face his past to find his
future this Christmas.
In the last year, George's life has drastically changed. The formerly homeless
veteran now has a job he likes, a family in the residents of Darling, VT, and
for the first time in years, a home. But while his present is good, he's still
haunted by the past, a past that appears shortly before Christmas when the
older sister of his brother-in-arms hunts him down and finds him in Darling,
working at the Ladybug Garden Center.
Amy’s looking for closure for her family after her brother's death in the
Middle East, but the serious man she finds working in Vermont doesn’t resemble
the soldier she remembers from years before. This man is hardened and yet
somehow fragile, too, and in her desire to find out what really happened to her
brother, she learns more about George than she ever expected.
With a little Christmas magic and the whole town supporting them, can these two bruised hearts make a future together?

being back on the East Coast of Canada after nearly twelve years in Alberta
where her romance career began, writing about cowboys and the west. She is the
author of Somebody Like You, Somebody's Baby, and Someone
to Love.

It’s Christmastime in the quaint island
town of Cloud Bay, where love is always in season...
Will has believed in love at first sight since
the day he first laid eyes on Mina Harper five years ago. There was only one
problem: She was happily married. Then, when Mina’s husband was killed by a
drunk driver, Will figured she’d want nothing to do with a guy who owns a
whiskey distillery. So he’s kept his feelings locked away, knowing that not
even a Christmas miracle would be enough to melt Mina’s heart. . .
Mina believes her days of true love are behind
her. Since losing her husband she’s kept to herself, content to do her own
painting and stay out of the limelight that comes with her famous family. But
when, after a freak accident, Will comes to her rescue, Mina can’t quite get
him out of her mind. As curiosity turns into a fling during Cloud Bay’s first
Christmas Festival, she finds it harder to convince herself that her feelings
for Will are just mistletoe-inspired. Could Mina be ready to lay the past to
rest and finally admit that what she really wants for Christmas—and forever—is
Will?
Emma Douglas would love to live in a world where
professional napping was a thing. But until then, she thinks writing books is a
pretty awesome alternative. When not writing about imaginary people, she can be
found reading, doing something crafty, binge-watching TV, playing her latest
song crush on repeat, or singing badly in her car. She lives in Melbourne,
Australia in a tiny house stuffed full of books, too many craft supplies and
two cats who take up more space than you would expect. Find out more about Emma

A wallflower
determined to fulfill a dying promise, the rogue she jilted years ago, and an
orphaned baby are all brought together amidst the magic of Christmas in this
new novella from Manda Collins.
Miss Merry Parks makes a deathbed promise to a schoolfriend that her infant
daughter will be taken to her absent father. There’s only one problem—to find
the baby’s father, she’ll have to consult his cousin, Viscount Wrotham, the man
she jilted five years ago. The man she couldn’t forget.
Alex Ponsonby, Viscount Wrotham, is stunned to find Merry Parks—looking more lovely than ever--on his doorstep with an infant in her arms. His shock soon turns to dismay when he learns his own cousin William is the man who abandoned his wife and child. As head of the family he’s duty bound to see right is done. But he can't let this opportunity pass. He’ll take Merry and the baby to his cousin, but he’ll woo her back in the process.
Merry agrees to travel with Alex and the baby to Wrotham Castle, where the entire Ponsonby family has gathered for Christmas, but her plans to see the baby settled then leave are ruined by a snowstorm. After five years apart, Alex and Merry will spend the week getting reacquainted. Perhaps it’s the spirit of the holiday, or the magic of the season, but there could be something else in the air this Yuletide…A Christmas Reunion.

’Tis the season for ex-Navy SEAL Clayton East to come home for the holidays—even if the mood at home is anything but festive. His father is ill. The East Ranch is in financial trouble. And now it’s on Clayton, the prodigal son, to make sure his family doesn’t lose everything.
