Leo loved thinking of all the gifts that would be waiting for him under the tree. He made a list and circled everything he wanted. Sometimes though, he felt disappointed and even angry on Christmas morning when he opened his presents and found he did not get everything he had wished for. " But this year a mistake was made that changed Christmas for Leo...forever. _____________________ What People Are Saying... "Christmas Eve has a new story to add to the gospel of Luke 2:1-20 and The Night Before Christmas. This tale will warm the hearts of all children and adults who love them." -Mary Holden, editor and mother, Phoenix, AZ "Leo's Other Christmas is a marvelous portrait of self-sacrificial love-precisely the theme which underlies the great story of Christmas! Even better, Leo's story is a lesson in learning the value of this practice in our own lives. And yet...it is the exquisite beauty of the illustrations which truly draws the reader in and moves the mind to linger on each page. An absolute gem!," -Rev. Steve Smith, Sherman, CA

Christmas at Leo's


Book Description

The fifth instalment in the 'Memoirs of a Houseboy' series I wasn't looking forward to spending Christmas as part of a house party at Leo's place to begin with. The booze ban by my boyfriends had taken the lustre right off the party season for me. What's Christmas without a flagon of ale or a classy glass of fancy fizz? Boring! A visit to my mother, on the day before Christmas Eve, did nothing to lift my mood. It triggered a welter of memories and emotions that made Christmas seem even less appealing. Stuff the season of goodwill. I just wanted to be left alone to brood. I wasn't given the choice. I was spending Christmas at Leo's, whether I liked it or not. It proved to be eventful in its own way. Details within. Gillibran Brown




Leo


Book Description

A Beauty and the Beast-inspired, snowed in, holiday romance with a grumpy Navy SEAL veteran! Leo: I hide in my Vermont cottage so nobody can see me. I've seen the stares. I read their contemplation in their inquisitive expressions--how did I get those scars? My parents worry about me and send a caretaker. That's not going to happen. I'll turn her away at my front door. When Rosanna arrives, she's not what I expect. She's young, pretty and curvy. And she comes with food to prepare dinner. It's been a long time since I had a home-cooked meal. Maybe I can tolerate her here for one night. Rosanna: This temporary job sounds like the ideal place to write my novel--plus I can avoid my stepfamily. When I arrive at the remote stone cottage in the woods, I'm stopped by a man with a scarred face and deep scowl. Leo turns me away. The groceries I brought to prepare dinner buy me some time. Leo agrees to let me cook for him (how generous). Only we're hit with more snow than expected, and I'm stuck in the cottage with him if I don't want to freeze to death. Leo will let me stay on one condition--never enter his studio. If you like grumpy / sunshine, wounded heroes, dark secrets, and lost souls finding each other in romance, you'll love escaping into this standalone romance in the Anchor Me series!
