A Courtship of Convenience
Sophie Appersett is quite willing to marry outside of her class to ensure the survival of her family. But the darkly handsome Mr. Edward Sharpe is no run-of-the-mill London merchant. He's grim and silent. A man of little emotion--or perhaps no emotion at all. After two months of courtship, she's ready to put an end to things.
A Last Chance for Love
But severing ties with her taciturn suitor isn't as straightforward as Sophie envisioned. Her parents are outraged. And then there's Charles Darwin, Prince Albert, and that dratted gaslight. What's a girl to do except invite Mr. Sharpe to Appersett House for Christmas and give him one last chance to win her? Only this time there'll be no false formality. This time they'll get to know each other for who they really are.

In one day, London Walsh finds out her ex is going to be her boss and that her parents are getting a divorce—and they want her to referee the situation. So when she’s offered the chance to spend the holidays in her old hometown of Christmas Falls, far away from all the drama, she jumps on it.
But the quaint town doesn’t feel quite like the home it once was. London shed the goth image that defined her in high school long ago, but no one recognizes the woman she's become.
Except for Andy Broll, London’s childhood next door neighbor. He recognizes her immediately, which sends London’s heart fluttering as she starts to see Andy in a whole different light. But when her time in Christmas Falls doesn’t go as planned, will London face it head on? Or will she find a reason to run?

Is there room for two on this honeymoon for one?
Piper Wyatt's Christmas wish is to get promoted to manager at Blackstock Hotel and Resort. Not only does the promotion mean more money, but it means more time with her son and proof that she's not such a disappointment after all.
Jace Petersen, successful owner of a national chain of sporting goods stores, finds himself alone and miserable on what should have been his honeymoon. That is until he literally falls onto the lovely Piper Wyatt. He's intrigued with this woman who can fix a car in high heels. Too bad for him, he makes a horrible first impression, and Piper's not allowed to mingle with the guests.
While Piper tries her best to steer clear of Jace during his stay, she can't help but notice he's not the man from their first meeting. But is he worth risking her promotion? Jace hopes so, because he'd love nothing more than to kiss Piper atop the Falls on Christmas day to see if the legend is true. Will they both get their Christmas wishes?
Find out in this charming Christmas tale about finding love in the most unexpected place, a honeymoon.

*** Readers' Favorite Finalist ***
Tina has daddy issues... Grumpy, workaholic Santa always favored her brother hoping to groom him to fill his boots when the time comes. But Nick hates Christmas and is focused on rock stardom, so it falls to Tina to leave college and temporarily return home to run the family business at the North Pole after a family emergency. This is the worst timing! She has a serious crush on her brother's bandmate and now she has to leave!
Not only does she have to deal with a long-distance crush, rowdy reindeer, and family drama, but her irresistible first love who broke her heart suddenly turns up, her best friend is flirting with an elf, it's time to negotiate the union contract, and those Peppermintinis at the local pub are way too tempting. Christmas Eve is quickly approaching and she's counting on her undependable brother to deliver the presents. After all, Santa is supposed to be a man, right? It's not easy being Santa's daughter!
Christmas magic, girl power, and a dash of romance make this a fun story any time of year!
