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.
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.
From USA Today bestselling author Heidi Rice comes a steamy fake engagement, marriage-of-convenience sheikh romance featuring a smart Irish virgin heroine, a royal billionaire alpha hero, forbidden attraction, arranged marriage, forced proximity, opposites attract and a happily-ever-after guaranteed.
I’m going to lose everything. My home. My livelihood. Because my family’s Kildare racing stud is about to be sold off to pay my late father’s gambling debts.
So, when billionaire playboy sheikh Prince Karim Jamal Amari Khan offers me a way out I take it… All I need do is pose as his adoring fiancée for the next little while… No problem, that’s grand, I’ve totally got this.
But for a few snags:
1). Karim’s the coldest most arrogant man I’ve ever met, but also the hottest. Confusing? Much?
2). After a disastrous engagement to a cheating gobsh*te, I’m still a virgin, so I’ve no clue how to fake ‘wanting’ Karim, when I already do!
3). Our first kiss is fire, so apparently he’s not faking it either… But we can’t follow-through because that’s absolutely NOT in the contract I signed.
4). His father dies unexpectedly, and I get whisked off to his desert kingdom where a REAL royal marriage has been arranged we can’t get out of…
After our super-hot wedding night, though, breaking Karim’s one rule is the least of my worries, because I now realise my new husband’s not cold, he’s just broken, and – far worse – I’m after believing I might be the one to fix him! Even though I already know (thanks, Da), when a woman tries to fix a man, it always ends in tears…
PS: My Billionaire Fake Fiancé is a comprehensive update/reboot of Innocent's Desert Wedding Contract.
PPS: This is also a linked book to My Billionaire Sheikh – because Karim is Zane Khan's cousin, and Zane and his wife Catherine and their kids have a cameo in Orla and Karim's story!

Now she writes romantic suspense stories, specializing in MC (motorcycle club) romance. She plans to broaden her writing horizons in the near future and move into other forms of romantic suspense. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with her husband, three kids, and fur babies.

A date with desire and destiny...

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. Mistletoeis 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.
Juliet Tinsley is definitely not living her best life.
She’s lost her job, her apartment, and what little confidence she had left—and now she’s facing the ultimate going home for the holidays and admitting her overachieving family was right all along. But just when everything feels completely hopeless, her best friend offers a lifeline—house sitting for a wealthy family over Christmas. It’s the perfect temporary fix . . . a place to stay, time to regroup, and a chance to figure out what comes next.
Declan Rhodes has spent years building a life far away from his family—and exactly how they expected him to be. Burned out and running on empty, he returns home unannounced, only to find someone else living in his parents’ house. Juliet. And thanks to a very official contract, there’s absolutely nothing he can do about it.
All Declan wants is peace, quiet, and a few weeks to breathe. What he gets instead is a Christmas-obsessed whirlwind determined to turn the house into a holiday spectacle—one that’s already caught the attention of the HOA. Now, between over-the-top decorations, mounting complaints, and a very suspicious HOA president, Declan finds himself dragged into one ridiculous situation after another . . . including pretending to be Juliet’s fiancé just to keep the peace.
It’s not the Christmas either of them expected—or wanted. But somewhere between the chaos, the forced proximity, and the unexpected sparks, what started as a temporary arrangement might just turn into something worth holding on to.

A Forbidden Father's Best Friend Romance. A Marriage of Convenience Under the Mistletoe.
He was my father's best friend, until my father betrayed him. Ten years later, he walks into my life as revenge with a wedding proposal wrapped in tinsel and bad timing.
Tristan Hamilton is the silver fox billionaire lawyer my father once called a partner. He's Scrooge personified. I'm the woman who starts decorating before the leaves have finished falling, who treats every London Christmas market like sacred ground, who believes mistletoe, fairy lights, and a cup of mulled wine can fix almost anything.
He can't stand carols, cheer, or anything wrapped in tinsel.
Yet somehow, with the advent calendar counting down and my father's law firm, now my responsibility, drowning in debt, Tristan is the one man with enough money, and enough motive, to save it before my debtors close in, before Christmas Eve arrives.
The Christmas Clause: My hand in marriage. No prenup. No exit clause, ever. The Payoff: His fortune to save my company and my family name before the holidays are over.
It's supposed to be simple. A transaction dressed up in snow and bad timing, somewhere between the fake proposal, outings to Winter Wonderland and the real wedding under a canopy of holly.
Except amid the mistletoe and the mulled wine, and a festive themed dinner on his yacht, I start wanting this marriage to be more than a deal.
Just two people trapped by a contract, thrown together for the entire festive season. His townhouse strung with fairy lights. His family's Christmas Eve lunch. His bed, snow gathering on the windowsill outside.
Then a freak snowstorm strands us overnight with nowhere to sleep but one room, one bed, one flickering fire, and a decade of tension neither of us can outrun anymore.
He thinks he can marry me under the mistletoe, ruin my father through me, and never once fall for the woman he married to do it. He's wrong.
And this Christmas, with the whole city glowing gold and the countdown to midnight running out, I intend to make him admit it.
This is Tristan Hamilton & Opal's story. There is no cheating, and a very satisfying festive-season HEA.
I walked into his restaurant needing a paycheck. Now I’m his fake wife. And if I’m not careful, I might just fall for the man I hate.
James Hamilton is grumpy. Emotionally unavailable. Impossible to reach. He’s also my best friend’s brother. The man who broke my heart without even trying. Now he’s a world-famous chef. Well known for his brilliance.
Working for him is my chance at the career of my dreams. But when he calls me out in front of his entire staff. I decide to leave. But James stops me with an offer I never saw coming. A marriage of convenience to secure the future of his culinary empire.
In return, he will pay off my debts and help my family. I should refuse. Instead, I say yes.
His rules are simple. This is a contract. There will be no feelings. No expectations. No future.
I agree to keep things strictly professional. But the longer I share his home and answer to the title of his wife, the harder it is to pretend this is just business.
And when he lets me see the man behind the reputation, I start to wonder if this fake marriage is the most real thing I have ever known...
Welcome to The Hamiltons. A new emotional romance series from international bestselling author L. Steele, where strong women go toe-to-toe with powerful billionaires… and love never follows the rules. This is James and Harper's story.
James Hamilton is a Royal Marine who has seen the darkest parts of the world, and he’s determined to keep Harper away from his shadows. But Harper isn’t looking for a perfect hero—she’s looking for him.
****
James Hamilton is the definition of off-limits. He’s cynical, jaded, and way too protective of his sister’s best friend. But when the air crackles between them, it’s clear his instincts are anything but brotherly.
READ THE EXCERPT: 📖
“He cups my cheek and lowers his head. I close my eyes, tip up my chin, and feel the warmth of his breath on my cheek, on my lips. Then just like that, it’s gone. And so is his touch.
I snap my eyes open, to find him looking at me with a tortured expression in his eyes. 'I can’t, Harper... someone who’d taint your innocence, someone who’d drag you down into the darkness with him. I’m not the man for you.'
'But what if you were?' I swallow. 'What if you were the man I was waiting for.'”

NYT and USA Today bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series set in a small town, surrounding four sisters. Trying Not to Kiss You is a small-town, friends-to-lovers, secret-relationship romance.
Leighton
Dixon Turner has always been a part of my life. I never thought twice about him… until now.
Volunteering to help him launch his new agricultural mechanic shop seemed harmless enough.
But I wasn’t prepared to spend every day with the guy I’ve known most of my life… and start seeing him in a way I never have before.
The quiet steadiness of him. The way he listens like he actually hears me.
Something has definitely shifted. And when the tension finally snaps, I make him an offer I really hope he doesn’t refuse.
Friends… with benefits.
I know a guy like Dixon doesn't do forever.
But I’ll take whatever he’s willing to give.
Because it’s a whole lot better than pretending there’s nothing between us… and trying not to kiss him every time he gets too close.
Dixon
Leighton was always there… the little sister who tagged along.
Looking back, I can’t remember a time she wasn’t.
But somewhere between rebuilding engines and building my business, I realize she’s all grown up.
Wanting Leighton and letting myself have her are two different things.
I’ve seen firsthand what happens when you build your world around someone and lose them.
My father never recovered, and I’ve spent years making sure that never happens to me.
Then Leighton happens.
And if I can’t bring myself to love her the way she deserves, I’ll lose her anyway.

From NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan comes a new standalone small-town series about four sisters finding love.
Trying Not to Love You is a small-town, second-chance, first-love, ex-military romance.
Paediatric surgeon Imogen is set for a blissfully solitary Christmas—though she has agreed to a blind date. Festive fun only; long-term is off the table! Then a complex case pairs her with the last man she expected: her ex, Mark. He’s still devastatingly handsome, still effortlessly charming, and when she turns up to her date to find Mark waiting, Imogen’s resolve melts completely. One night leads to another…and with Mark’s flight back to NYC looming, why shouldn’t Imogen risk a merry ex-mas?
He’s my former best friend and my husband of convenience, but he’s not the man that got me pregnant.
One year into my nursing program, two little pink lines alter my reality.
Add on that the baby’s father wants nothing to do with us and I no longer have healthcare coverage, and well?
I start to panic.
Enter Easton Buckley—Mr. Dependable, lineman with great health benefits, and a stubborn streak that pays off when he convinces me to marry him so me and my baby can be taken care of.
The problem is, Easton and I haven’t been on good terms for years, and neither of us has attempted to fix it.
Yet now I’m living with him, forced to see him shirtless, and wondering why hearing him call me his wife is making my hormones even more wild.
Then I figure out his secret.
And there’s no stopping the flood of emotions and unresolved feelings that come up.
I’m scared to fall for Easton. I don’t want him to be a mistake like every other love interest in my life.
But what if the reality is, you can’t help who your heart chooses to love? Even if they could be the one to break it once and for all?
New name. New face. Old vengeance. He’s back to steal what the Blackstones took.
Olivier
I made myself into a stranger to walk back into Blackstone Bourbon. New name, new eyes, one job left to finish.
She was my first love. First heartbreak. Being near her again brings back the best parts of us I’d made myself forget.
It changes nothing. I still can’t forget or forgive what her family did to mine.
Get in. Get what’s mine. Get out.
But I forgot how sharp she is.
That is my first mistake.
Lillianna
Months of research. A folder I can’t stop opening. A first name that’s probably nothing.
I sign the deal. Then he laughs in my lobby, and something in me stops arguing.
So I watch. I wait for the proof I don’t want.
Months later his four-year-old son hands me my answer. Olivier Sawyer is back in my family’s distillery, wearing someone else’s name.
I should throw him out. Instead, I don’t tell my brothers. Not to protect him. To protect the one thing I’ve built here that isn’t already theirs.
Keeping my enemy close should make him easier to control. It would, if my body didn’t like him close.
But I already made the mistake of wanting him when I was seventeen. I won’t get burned by the same fire twice.
Some secrets age like bourbon in the dark. The longer they sit, the higher the price when poured. They thought they knew what broke them. They were wrong.
Perfect for readers who love: – Workplace enemies-to-lovers romance – A cocky hero and a heroine who won’t back down – Flirty, steamy, banter-driven heat – A dare, a dark mansion, and forced proximity
Lily McIntire is alone in the creepiest mansion in town, at night, all because she couldn’t back down from a dare issued by her cocky, infuriatingly hot coworker, Marcus Black. She’ll be damned before she gives him the satisfaction of winning.
What Lily doesn’t know is that Marcus has wanted her for ages. The plan is simple: scare her out of the house and into his arms. But scaring her turns to protecting her, and protecting her turns to seducing her—and that’s when the plan starts working a little too well.
Suddenly Lily is having real trouble filing Marcus under “insufferable.” He’s funny. Charming. Sinfully good-looking. One unforgettable night still isn’t enough to make her break her no-love-at-work rule—but surviving the mansion turns out to be the easy part. Surviving Marcus’s charms is going to take every ounce of her willpower. And for Lily, losing is not an option.

Falling for Kroydon University’s golden-boy quarterback wasn’t in my four-year plan. Neither was fake dating him, yet here we are.

He plays under the lights, and I dance on the sidelines.
We are not the same, and I’m perfectly happy to keep it that way . . .
Until one reckless night changes the game.
Now I’m fake dating Kroydon U’s most eligible bachelor. And this infuriating man is determined to prove everything I think I know about him is wrong—which would be a whole lot easier to ignore if he weren’t so good at making me forget.
But at a university where football is religion and secrets are currency, one wrong move could cost us everything.
He has a legacy to live up to.
I’ve got a future to fight for.
Neither of us can afford what happens when fake starts feeling like forever.
