It came out of nowhere. A huge cat in the middle of the road. We swerved to avoid it and crashed into a snowy tree, ending our road trip early and stranding us far from the local town, in the middle of a snowstorm with another on the way. How can a pop star, her assistant, and her best friend survive in a snowy wilderness? Short answer is: they can’t. But then \he\ came out of nowhere. The big guy with the gruff voice and the sharp eyes. The eyes that are always on me. I have to trust him, to accept his rescue of my friends and me, but the more I get to know Charles, the more I realize I need him. Maybe we landed at the lodge with these mysterious mountain men by accident, but Charles makes me believe it was good luck that brought us here. Even though he’s vague about his past, his kisses are certain, and his gentle touches become addictive. His love is all-consuming. But when an old threat follows us to the lodge, Charles reveals his particular set of skills, deadly ones. Can I accept the man who treats me so sweetly but can kill without a thought? \-\ MINK's Note: Grab you a fluffy friend, and get comfy, for this tale of a man who knows his bride when he sees her.

Performing on stage in front of tens of thousands of fans is a rush, without a doubt. But one look from Diego sends an even hotter thrill of excitement through my veins. He’s huge, a man of few words and hungry eyes. No matter how much I try to get him to open up to me, he won’t. So, I have to change my tactics. This mountain lodge is full of mysterious men, and Diego is the one I’m desperate to solve. He’s madly protective, but he won’t get close. Pushing him over the edge has become my main goal. I tempt him with skimpy outfits and my signature chocolate cake. My plan is going perfectly until my biggest fear comes true. I thought I would be safe out here in the snowy wilderness with Diego. Was I wrong? \-\ MINK's Note: Grab you a floof and a coffee, then enjoy this romantic tale of a winter wonderland, a beautiful songbird, and a thick beast.

I can take care of myself. I always have. For that matter, I’ve also taken care of my best friends Aurora and Clover. Keeping them safe has landed me with a concussion after our car accident thanks to a wayward lynx. On top of that, I seem to have landed in a handsome man’s bed. Not just any man, Barrow attends to all my needs and never wants to leave my side. He’s big, brawny, and possessive, and I find myself falling for him more by the minute. The lodge is a safe haven that I’m quickly wanting to call home. But my self doubt creeps in,and I start to think maybe I’m imagining Barrow’s attraction to me. After all, Aurora’s the star of our group, not me. But the more he dotes on me, compliments me, and gives me those heated looks I feel down to my toes, the more I realize he’s genuine and that we could have a real future together. When I get a job offer that’s hard to turn down, will I choose love or life outside the lodge? \-\ MINK's note: Grab your extra-large fluffy, and cuddle with this sweet and snowy HEA.

I’ve been chasing stories from the first moment I could ask questions. When I started my own investigative blog, I pulled stories straight from the headlines, and dove deeper to discover the truth behind the circumstances. None more so than in the case of the missing mafia prince—the very first investigation I undertook from the warmth and safety of my teenage bedroom. Then I grew up and got mixed up in a whole lot more than musings on missing kingpins. I followed the story of a maligned pop princess and wound up at the lodge—a hidden safe house for bad men with dark pasts... When I met the growly Tiernan, I knew I’d be in for the story of my life. The more I get to know him, the more I realize how much I’ve been missing one aspect of my own story—romance. He brings it—and so much more... His gruff ways and soft touches—melt me until I’m hopeless for him. But when some of the people I’ve exposed on my blog come calling—I’ll have to rely on more than his soft side if I want to survive. \-\ MINK's Note: A kitty, a coffee, and a happily ever after—heaven!
