KISSING MR MISTLETOE (APPLE RIDGE) BY ANGELA CASELLA
"Emotion with no filter. Casella holds nothing back. Sweet and spicy collide with a boldness that sets it's sights on claiming your heart. The secret of life finds solace in the spirit of love. " - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
**Spicy version**
When you kiss the one person who should be off-limits, blame it on the mistletoe.
Emily
The whole town turned on Miles after the crash that killed my boss's granddaughter. They didn't care that he hadn't been driving. Still, he brought a peace offering to the bookstore's Christmas Eve party, and my boss told him he should have been the one who died.
No one defended him. Not even me.
But I chased him outside and kissed him under the mistletoe. It started as sympathy, then turned electric. When he told me he was leaving forever, I gave him a book to help him heal.
Years later, Miles comes home with a tattoo inspired by that very book. And somehow, he knows I wrote it.
Worse, he wants to know everything else about me.
Which makes Miles Public Enemy Number One, because the life I've built here depends on keeping the truth buried.
Miles
Kissing Emily was definitely not a mistake.
Now I'm going to prove it, even if she's not my Number One Fan.
Joining her retirement home book club? You bet.
Selling Christmas trees outside her bookstore? Absolutely—and I'll even hire the punk kid she's taken under her wing.
But the closer I get to Emily, the more I realize the girl who saved me is hiding from everyone, including herself.
This Christmas, I'm determined to find out why.
Kissing Mr. Mistletoe is a small-town Christmas romcom featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, a secret identity, best friend's brother, and a snowed-in romance. Expect a bookstore cat, a retirement home romance book club, festive matchmaking, and two people who help each other heal when they need it most.
Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:
1) A spicy, open door version with some strong language and intimacy scenes
2) A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.
Please choose the version that's best for you!
**A standalone in the Apple Ridge series**

FALLING FOR XMAS (A DARE TO FALL NOVELLA) BY CARLY PHILLIPS
"One heartache short of a happily ever after. Clay and Holly dare emotions to give them a chance. Sweet and spicy unite in delicious, addiction." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
Amazon and Kindle+: November 12th
Tropes
Christmas Magic, Forced Proximity, Grumpy Sunshine, Happily Ever After, Holiday Romance, Neighbors to Lovers, Opposites Attract, Protective Alpha, Small Town and Blue Collar
I came to Charleston for a fresh start. Falling for my Christmas-obsessed neighbor wasn't part of the plan.
Holly Monroe is sunshine wrapped in a big red bow. She lights up her house like Santa lives next door and believes Christmas magic can fix just about anything.
I'm grumpy, guarded, and about as festive as a lump of coal.
But when a community toy drive puts us on the same team, Holly drags me into Christmas chaos—and straight through every wall I've spent years building.
Between holiday markets, decorating disasters, and her impossible smile, I start falling for the one woman who sees past my grumpy exterior. She reminds me of the grandmother who made Christmas magical before life took that magic away.
For the first time in years, I'm starting to believe in Christmas. And maybe love.
Then my career forces me to make a choice, and I make the biggest mistake of my life.
Holly deserves someone who chooses her. Now I have one chance to prove I'm that man before I lose the woman who made me believe in happy endings again.
Because sometimes the greatest Christmas miracle isn't under the tree. It's finding the person who feels like home.
A swoony Christmas romance featuring grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, small-town holiday magic, a grovel-worthy hero, and a happily-ever-after.

Just in time for the Christmas season, Snowbound by Romantic Fiction by Maddie Taylor is available on Amazon and free with Kindle+!
Two winter storms. Two unexpected romances. Two Christmases when falling in love may be the most dangerous gift of all.
A mountain blizzard upends holiday plans and brings together two couples who never expected to find romance in the middle of a crisis. From a snowbound lodge where a string of “accidents” threatens everyone inside to a treacherous mountain escape with an assassin closing in, danger is never far away. But neither is the warmth, humor, and unexpected connection that can turn being stranded at Christmas into exactly where they were meant to be.
Snowbound is a duet of standalone romantic suspense novellas filled with forced proximity, protective heroes, wintry danger, and high-stakes romance.
Christmas at Evergreen
She came to Evergreen to escape Christmas. Instead, she found a blizzard, a mystery, and a man who makes leaving the last thing she wants to do.
When a series of increasingly dangerous incidents threatens the snowbound mountain lodge, Emma and Evergreen’s owner, Luke Walker, are thrown together to manage each crisis and keep the other guests safe. As their attraction grows, they discover they have more in common than either expected. But with the roads closed and Christmas approaching, it becomes clear the accidents are no such thing. Someone wants Evergreen to fail, and Luke and Emma must uncover who’s behind the sabotage before someone gets hurt—or worse.
The Long Way Home
She was just trying to get home for Christmas. Instead, she ran into a blizzard, a federal witness, and a man who makes getting home a lot more complicated.
Travel writer Avery Collins finds herself stranded at a small-town motel with Deputy U.S. Marshal Cole Brennan and the federal witness he’s protecting. When Avery runs into the hitman sent to silence Cole’s witness, she becomes a target too. With the highway closed, a blizzard bearing down, and killers on their trail, the three take refuge at a secluded mountain cabin, wherever they can find it. As danger pushes Avery and Cole closer together, their attraction becomes impossible to ignore. But a killer is determined to make sure the witness never reaches Washington—and their lives depend on staying one step ahead.

About Maddie:
A USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.
Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.

☀️ GRUMPY SUNSHINE π€ BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND π»
Read Sunshine for the Bear by Lia Davis & Lainie Anderson now!
Available on Amazon and FREE with Kindle+ π
He’s her brother’s ex-best friend. He’s a bear shifter. And he just found out she’s his mate.
Nicholas Richard came back to the mountains to be left alone. He has his grandmother’s cabin, his horses, and a bear who’d rather growl than talk. Then he runs his shopping cart into Kevin Kane’s little sister, and his bear roars one word: mate. The last time he saw Raelyn, she was twelve. She definitely isn’t twelve anymore.
Raelyn Kane moved home to Maple Ridge after her divorce to start over, not to chase the town’s grumpiest hermit. Still, she’s curious. Nicholas used to practically live at her house until he and Kevin had a falling-out nobody will explain. Now he’s glaring at her across town meetings, lurking outside her favorite diner, and acting like he’s ready to fight anyone who looks at her.
As it turns out, someone is looking at her. A man who gave her a fake name won’t leave her alone, wolves are prowling Nicholas’s land, and the corporation trying to buy up Maple Ridge seems to be behind all of it. When creepy gifts start showing up on Raelyn’s porch, Nicholas moves her into his cabin “just for now.”
Sharing a roof with a scowling mountain man should be easy. He makes her coffee every morning, guards her every night, and is way too good with a rescued horse. But Nicholas has a secret with claws, and Raelyn’s stalker isn’t finished with her.
Sunshine for the Bear is a steamy fated-mates romance with a grumpy bear shifter, a heroine who won’t stop smiling at him, an age gap, a protective hero, and a guaranteed HEA. Shifters of Maple Ridge has a different couple in every book but is best read in order.

THE SISTERS' NEXT ADVENTURE IS AVAILABLE NOW
Read Bayou Bones & Evil Thrones Brenda Trim today for FREE with Kindle+!
https://geni.us/BayouBones
The Six Twisted Sisters didn't survive this long by saying yes to things they didn't understand.
They said yes anyway.
One weekend. A cooking competition. Camera crews and string lights and tourists who'd never look close enough to see what lived in the shadows behind the charm. The plantation had played this role before—beautiful, composed, hiding its teeth—and the sisters were good at maintaining a mundane appearance. Probably too good.
Turns out they should've kept their heads down.
Something has been waiting in the bayou south of their property line since before New Orleans had cobblestones. Something long-suffering. Something that perseveres. After all, impatience is for things that haven't learned to fail well. This has failed a hundred times and still returned, sharpened by each defeat. Now there's a crack in the ward that held it out for nearly two centuries, and it's about to overcome that magical bond the way that water finds every weakness in old stone.
Then a vampire with knowledge that predates the nation appears like the swell of ocean waves in the hours before a hurricane.
She's not here with a warning. Warning implies time. She's here because the bloodlines connecting all nine lineages are waking up. And like it or not, if the Sisters can't hold the line, there won't be anything left worth protecting. Not the plantation. Not the city. Not the lights strung through the oaks that glow at dusk like something holy.
The competition finale is in three days.
And the ancient power yearning to break free isn't going to wait for the credits to roll.
