Marrying Owenby Alexis Anne
Bringing your boyfriend home to meet your parents at Christmas is a difficult tradition no one looks forward to, but bringing home Owen Jones, lead singer of the triple platinum rock band Jettison Seven, is extra complicated for Aliceโs conservative family. Which means a week over the holidays will be the test of whether their relationship is the stuff of legend, or of grocery store gossip magazines.
Simply Havingby Audra North
Astrid Faber isnโt expecting any miracles this Christmas. With her parents gone, sheโs never felt as alone as she does this holiday season. But when she finds herself struggling to get her lonely little Christmas tree up the stairs into her apartment, her elusive hot neighbor, Simon James, appears just in time to help lift the treeโand her spirits. But can Simon ease her heart long enough for Astrid to allow herself to simply have a wonderful Christmas?
Kiss Me at Midnightby Julia Kelly
Allina Hemphillโs been (unsuccessfully) set up by her parents too many times, but when her motherโs scheming puts Blane Douglas in her sights on Christmas Eve, she finds sheโs more than happy to steal a kiss under the mistletoe.
This Christmasby Alexandra Haughton
This Christmas, Maggie Embry feels like a misfit toy. When her parents announced their divorce over Thanksgiving leftovers, it rocked the foundation of her lifeโeven though sheโs almost thirty, not six.

Reluctantly, Maggie agrees to join her best friendโs little family celebrationโitโs better than spending Christmas alone. But when their party grows by an unexpected number at the candlelight Christmas Eve service, itโs a blast from the past who just might be able to help her find her missing piecesโฆ
