Actor Preston Graves' Secret Exposed! Preston Graves is a household name among the TV-watching masses. Handsome, accessible, relatable. But when his not-so-vanilla personal life goes public, he high-tails it back to his home state of Michigan for the holidays-to the man he once loved. Blake Aldrich tried love, twice. When it didn't work, he retreated to focus on his pottery. He finds success but he's never forgotten what he lost. His lover. His best friend. Now Preston is back, invoking a childhood pact and dragging a Hollywood-sized mess into Blake's tidy life. The lure of Preston in Blake's woodland retreat tempts him and the lacy surprises under his clothes are a present he can't resist unwrapping. The heat between them ignites and their old feelings come rushing back, but Tinstletown is still calling Preston's name. Blake will have to choose whether to follow the man he's always loved, or be left out in the cold.

Mistletoe Season


Book Description

Say No to Mistletoe by Sheila Roberts Mistletoe is Hailey Fairchild’s kryptonite. Every time she’s kissed someone under the mistletoe it’s led to love disaster. Not a good thing for a romance writer! When she was a gawky high school girl, her hunky neighbor, Carwyn Davies, star of the basketball team (and her dreams), kissed her under the mistletoe on a dare. But the kiss wasn’t a dream come true. It was a mortifying moment she’s never forgotten, and now she’s about to go home for the holidays, unengaged and . . . determined to say no to mistletoe. Especially if Carwyn is anywhere around. Return to Mistletoe by Kathleen Fuller Emmy Banks has always loved Christmas. How could she not when she lives in Mistletoe, Missouri? Kieran O’Neill has spent years abroad, renovating an old Irish castle, but returns to Mistletoe for his mother’s seventieth birthday. He reconnects with Emmy, his sister’s close friend, and spends time with her in her charming antique shop. When the weather turns colder, things start to warm up between Emmy and Kieran. But can Emmy risk her heart when she knows he’ll never stay in Mistletoe, and she will never leave? The Mistletoe Prince by Pepper Basham Prince Arran St. Clare has lost his freedom and fairytale life in exchange for a three-month “punishment” in the small town of Ransom, North Carolina. To prove he is ready for the royal life for which he was born, Arran must engage in the Christmas charity fundraiser, The Mistletoe Wish. But when kindness, authenticity, and hard work prove more appreciated in Appalachia than a royal pedigree, Arran must face the mirror and find out who he is beyond the crown. Add a beautiful and intelligent woman who doesn’t recognize her own worth, some mistletoe, and a little Christmas magic and it all might be enough to help the rebel-prince understand what truly matters most. Three stand-alone romantic holiday novellas Book length: 84,000 words Includes discussion questions for book clubs

Book Description

SWITCH ON YOUR INNER LIGHT; BRING FORTH YOUR GIFTS. Alonzo Prier, Esquire, leaves his prominent New Jersey Assistant Attorney General job and heads to Washington, D.C. Tracked down by the well-established law firm with the independent federal consulting contract, he’s the best for the business...not just theirs, but the business about the country. Unsavory times! Medicare and Medicaid officials struggling with those social programs’ challenges. Managed Care unhinged by way of HMOs delivering the health and wellness goods, but not really. It was January 2000. Health insurance considerations throughout the land at fever pitch. Public and private. Man up for the challenge...charismatic, highly intelligent, vast healthcare industry knowledge. But not everybody wanted that. Some wanted him out; others wanted him in bed with them. Specifically, the women working Washington. He brings sexy back, while ushering intellect and integrity in. And he’s just so damn handsome. Real hot commodity! Those gunning for him; those gaming for him. Didn’t matter. He wouldn’t be thrown off course. The man had a mission. And his wife? Somewhat like...a hundred gradations of pink, maybe? She’d come upon a way to intensify the existing intensity between them. Witty, adventurous, creative, and simply gorgeous. She was at the top of her game, too. With so many challenges, how does this all pan out? How did he weave through waves of deception? What kept him grounded through it all? His wife helped. With that ‘feminine wiles’ thing, she took care of business. It’s all made crystal clear by the things people do... and don’t.
