Determined to have her children and grandchildren present for what may be her last Christmas, the eccentric and fiery Libby Westbrook, Dowager Duchess of Latham, takes matters into her own hands. Proclaiming a top-secret crisis, the elderly dame sends urgent missives far and wide, summoning her kinfolk home. Putting aside bitter rivalries, pressing obligations, and perilous liaisons, the duke’s eight children journey to their ancestral home—some curious, others with excited anticipation, and at least one, grudgingly reluctant. Days filled with holiday traditions and activities bring forgiveness, laughter, and love as the Christmas season works its magic. Or is Grandmama, descended from Roma gypsies and claiming to possess a supernatural gift, responsible for the transformation? Hearts are healed, relationships rekindled, souls rejuvenated, and the Westbrooks realize that at any time of year, family is the greatest gift of all.

I should be terrified of them—but I’ve never felt safer… When I begged the Twisted Metal MC to take me in exchange for my father’s freedom, I never thought I’d be anything more than a trade to them. A transaction. I was wrong. On the surface, my three captors are nothing alike. Trooper, who disarms me with a smile and helps me laugh away my fears. Dutch, whose cocky mask can’t hide his sweet soul. And Ranger, who frustrates me so much I can’t decide whether to kiss or kill him. I’m more than a bargaining chip to them—and every day I spend with them proves it. But when my past catches up to me, everything threatens to come crashing down around me. I don’t know how I’ll get out of this mess, but I do know one thing. No one is ever going to control me again. My guys will stop at nothing to make sure of it.

I should have declined my bestie’s invite to the Bishop’s annual Christmas skiing trip. In the breathtaking French Alps…. With the even more breathtaking Bishop triplets. After catching my ex-fiancé cheating, It was either going on the exotic trip… Or spending Christmas alone. Why was this a bad idea? My roommates include three bullies who gave me the worst moments of my childhood. To make matters worse, they’ve grown into three irritating, hot-as-sin MEN. Oh, and did I mention… they’re my bestie’s triplet brothers? I want them all more than I fear the consequences.

My sister is the reason I’m in this mess, and on the hunt for a fake fiancée to show off to our grandmother… “Jace has a girlfriend.” She just had to say those words, didn’t she? Oh, I hate her. But I think I love Bailey… the matchmaker I thought would introduce me to my fake fiancée. She agreed to play the role herself, just for Christmas. I couldn’t have asked for a better deal. Except… that my feelings are all over the place. A playboy like me doesn’t know how to fall in love… And yet, here I am, admiring the way Bailey walks, the way her hair falls over her shoulders.

The ugly duckling from high school is all grown up, and she’s fiery hot now. She’s also the CEO of the company I’m trying to work for, and the only thing that stands between me and the next level of my career. Fortunately for me, most women fall at my feet. But this ice-hearted beauty from my past? She has me working my ass off to prove that I’m the right model for the GQ cover. You’ve got to be kidding me. This bone structure doesn’t get told no. Not in the boardroom and certainly not in the bedroom. She can play hard to get all she wants. She’s just delaying the inevitable. Because I get what I want and I always have. She’s no exception. I’m about to steal the front page of her magazine. Then her panties. And lastly? Her heart.

My name is Kevin, a small-town school principal and wolf shifter-serving and protecting my Texas community. I thought my life was complete….until I lay eyes on the new woman in town. I am smitten with her. The attraction is real, yet she’s forbidden. My love only deepens seeing her teach and overcome all the obstacles I put before her. When I discover the real reason, she is here, I realize I made a terrible mistake. I must make it right. When her students are kidnapped during a field trip, I’m left with no other choice but to reveal the secret of Pleasant Valley, and my identity. To gain her trust, I must apologize, and reveal my secret…and risk losing her forever.

My family’s failing farm and my father’s debt has me on edge. Luckily, a chance rescue could be my ticket out. An adorable set of twins need childcare. And their legal guardians are four insanely HOT uncles. THREE reasons why this can’t work: 1. All four brothers are constantly working out in their mansion. 2. They’re older and more experienced in ALL facets of life. 3. It appears I’ve ignited a desire in them that can’t just be brushed under the rug. And if I’m being completely honest… I’m beyond turned on by all four of them. But the weather calls for a scary winter storm. A storm brings that brings all sorts of trouble… Not to mention unexpected surprises.

I thought losing my job was the worst part. But getting played and duped by my ex-boyfriend really took the cake. Because of him, I’m back in this small town, trying to find a new job before Christmas. And the only person who can give me that job happens to be a sexy billionaire shifter with a history of being a playboy. He’s got his sights on me, and I can’t pretend he’s not the highlight of my new workplace. Maybe I’m wrong for not trusting him, but if there’s one thing I learned from my last relationship. It’s that snow leopard shifters never change their spots. Ever.

My brother’s best friend wanted me for a night. Now I have a surprise. And it was years ago we slept together. When we were just kids. Getting pregnant left me with a different life path than I’d expected, but I let him go. He had big dreams and I let him go live them, but now he’s back in my life, as arrogant as ever. My secret baby daddy has a mission to revive the city but his plans would hurt the people I serve in my charity. The charity that took care of me when I had nothing but a newborn and a shaky smile. I’m not sure if he’s playing the good guy or actually is. He’s not the same guy I fell in love with. Either way, our goals are in opposition to each other. This isn’t a second chance at love. It’s “may the best man win.” Let the games begin.

Driving home for Christmas, I couldn’t outrun the snow or Nick Wallace. I had travelled the world, but nothing prepared me for that fateful night in his cabin… Not even for the baby girl who arrived eight months later. There were secrets pride urged me to keep. Nick never learned about his daughter, our daughter, And I kept my word that my father would never know what we did. Now, fate is calling me back home for an extended holiday season. People say that time heals all wounds, but what can an all-consuming kiss do? This Christmas, will I finally stop running?
