The last time I saw Cate Morgan, she called me a name not fit for public consumption and walked away. This time wasn’t much better, since I was dressed in a Santa suit and had a kid reciting her list of wants in my ear. Of course, the last time, I'd told her to go, but that was beside the point. She was here, now, in front of me - right where I'd always wanted her. Well, there are other places I want her, but in front of me is a good place to start. Now that she’s here – I’m going to do things differently. I don't want to lose her again. The challenge is getting her to see that we’re perfect for each other. I’m stuck playing Santa, so maybe I just need to get her to sit on my lap and tell me what she wants for Christmas. Then I can show her how nice it is to be on Santa’s Naughty List. Santa comes once a year … or does he? Join sixteen of your favorite romance authors as they make all of your Christmas wishes come true with the Santa’s Coming Short Stories!

If I have to face another year avoiding the guys at my accounting firm, I’m going to lose my ever-loving mind. So when I apply for a second job as an instructor at my favorite ski resort, I feel like everything is adding up perfectly. But when the guy interviewing me turns out to be the same guy I mowed down not twenty-four hours ago on the slopes, it seems like the universe really is conspiring against me. Markus happens to be the yummiest specimen I have ever seen cutting up the powder. He’s irresistible and things between us are hot enough to melt snow. But when his ex-girlfriend shows up, that’s my cue to nope on out of there… I won’t be put on ice for any man; not even one who fills my dreams and makes me wish I was his own personal snow bunny. #MeltMyPantsOff #SnowJob #YesPlease #HappilyEverAfter
