The Candy Counter Heiress by Lucy McConnell Amazon bestselling & award-winning author
Someday
Reese Gates will own The Candy Counter at Kenworth’s; but someday can’t
come fast enough when the manager threatens to bring in a national
candy provider. Reese secretly takes matters into her own hands hoping
to save her parents from additional worry and prove herself capable of
running the company. Her deception deepens as she ropes computer guru
Andy Edwards into helping her expand the business.  Reese wanted to
shake things up, but she wasn’t planning on her heart getting caught in
the mix by Andy’s stolen kisses. If she can hold it together until after
Christmas, then she can reveal her successful online company and her
feelings for Andy. Unfortunately for Reese, even the best laid plans can
melt like chocolate.

Christmas Makeover by Cami Checketts Amazon bestselling author
Chelsea Jamison has been infatuated with Drew Stirling longer than she’s loved
playing basketball, high-top sneakers, and the Knicks. Unfortunately,
all Drew sees is the kid who kicked his trash in the high school free
throw contest and not the girl whose heart breaks into a fast dribble
when he’s near.
Drew makes an unexpected visit home to Echo Ridge and their friendship picks
up where they left off as they scheme to make a teenaged boy’s
Christmas dreams come true. When Chelsea realizes she’s fallen for her
best friend, she wonders if there is any hope of a relationship with
Drew or if she’s stuck in buddy-status for life.

 

Hope for Christmas by Rachelle J. Christensen Amazon bestselling & award-winning author
Anika  Fletcher hates Christmas–its promises of good tidings and hope for the
future are as tinseled as the ornaments on Kenworth’s Hope Tree.
Despite her feelings, Anika wants to maintain her daughter’s faith in
the magic of the season and gladly accepts a second job working with the
handsome Carlos Rodriguez to restore Kenworth’s old fashioned soda
fountain. Carlos is no stranger to hard times and slowly shares his life
of light and joy with Anika as they work together. Just as her fragile
soul begins to feel hope again, an ill-timed act of charity changes
everything. Anika isn’t sure who she can trust or if hope is worth
nurturing–especially at Christmas when it’s easy to enjoy a kiss and
believe love can last longer than the season.

Soda Fountain Christmas by Connie E. Sokol Amazon bestselling author
Keira
Kenworth has one focus this holiday season: save her father’s old-time
department store from bankruptcy. She is not focused on Tayton Wells,
the tall, dark, and genius marketing guru from downtown New York, hired
to make it happen. He is as doubtful that her nostalgic connect-the-town
ideas will succeed as she is about his numbers-first plan. However,
it’s not just their different approaches that cause sparks to fly.
Working together on a fast deadline to save the store before Christmas,
the unspoken connection between them grows. But will the tough decisions
they face drive them back to their separate worlds, or will they lead
to the beginning of love?

One Winter Night by Heather Tullis Amazon bestselling author

Jonah Owens thought moving to Echo Ridge to open his art gallery would solve
all of his problems. The need to sell his grandma’s house adds an
unexpected complication. It would be easier if his neighbor didn’t have
all those farm animals.Kaya
Feidler’s family has owned their land for nearly a hundred years–long
before the neighbors were there. There’s no way she’s giving up the
animal therapy business she’s been struggling to make profitable. She
gets a temp job helping Jonah in the gallery. Spending time together is a
recipe for romance, but can they overcome their own hangups to be more
than friends?

.
In USA Today bestselling author Janette Rallison’s delightful novella, JOB HAZARDS, Lydia Robinson is posing as a prostitute. Undercover of course. Lydia’s job as a police officer hasn’t reeled in her prince charming yet. That is, until Harrison Aldridge, old high school flame, pulls up to the corner to rescue the fallen damsel. Lydia can’t exactly give Harrison the truth without blowing her cover, and it takes a series of mishaps and another whole set of misunderstandings before Lydia will even consider letting Harrison back into her life.
.
In Heather B. Moore’s enchanting novella, A TASTE OF SUN, Winona Grant embarks on a summer-long visit to NYC to house-sit for her great-aunt after a nasty break-up with her boyfriend Paul. But when her aunt commissions neighbor Steve Monti to tour Winona around, they strike a deal. Winona has too many deadlines to play tourist, and Steve is looking for a distraction from his looming gallery opening. So Steve goes on the tours by himself, and Winona reports back to her aunt as if she’d gone too. The longer this happens, the more Winona wants to change her mind. Seeing the city with Steve might be the perfect solution to forgetting about Paul.
.
In Luisa Perkins’s sweet romance novella, DULCE DE LECHE, Marisol is desperate for another nanny job after being unfairly fired from her previous position. She has only two more semesters of college, but she’s too proud to ask her wealthy parents for financial help. When her potential new employer, a single father working long hours as an anesthesiologist, decides she’s too young and pretty to hire, she practically begs him for the job. Darius finally agrees, and as he watches her work miracles with his Asperger’s son, he realizes there is much more to Marisol than he first believed.
.
In TAKE A CHANCE, a captivating story by Sarah M. Eden, Miguel Santos has a stopover in New York. When the announcement of delayed flights comes over the PA system, Miguel is looking at spending several hours at the airport. Determined to get comfortable for the long wait, he’s surprised when he spies a familiar face amongst the stranded passengers: Jane Schoonenburg, the last person he expected to see. Three months have passed since he asked Jane to marry him—three months of misery. And now he knows that he must talk to her, if only to find out why she broke his heart.
.
Annette Lyon’s entrancing novella, FIRSTS AND LASTS, begins with Dani’s last week in New York. She’s failed in her dreams to catch a break as an actress and is now ready to return home and dust herself off. As she visits the places on her final to-see list, she meets Mark, another New York City transplant with big dreams. Except Mark hasn’t given up on his. As they spend the day together, Dani realizes that even though she hasn’t hit the “big time” she might be living her dream after all. Only problem: she has a one-way ticket back home.
.
In Lisa Mangum’s whimsically titled story: &, Lucy is riding a wave of success at having found a bestselling novel in the slush pile at an exclusive New York publishing house. If only her personal life was storybook perfect as well. Her relationship with Devon is on the rocks, and even though she’s been put in charge of the house while her boss is gone on business, Lucy isn’t sure she’s up to the task. It will take a chance encounter with a handsome wordsmith to help Lucy claim the courage that has always been a part of her heart.

Firsts and Lasts

Annette Lyon

 

Dani stood on the sidewalk, looking up the grand staircase outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although she’d seen the building several times during her six months in Manhattan, she’d never really stopped to look at it, and she’d never been inside.

 

People rushed past her as they went their different ways up and down Fifth Avenue. She could easily identify the residents over the tourists. Real New Yorkers moved with a quick, no-nonsense stride. Businesswomen in dress pants and jackets often walked in sneakers. Dani had learned that they kept high heels in their purses or at the office to switch into after they got to work. She could hear the whoosh and honks of traffic behind her.

 

Several strollers passed, making Dani step out of the way. Some were pushed by mothers, others by nannies. Dani glanced at a pair of women pushing strollers with toddlers about the same age. They chatted and laughed – and looked completely at home.
