Christmas Comes Early This Year!

A couple of weeks ago, I activated your Halloween button by introducing the Unforgettable Paranormal Passions box set.

Today, I’m here with another fantastic reading opportunity for you. Fall has arrived, and with it, more time to cuddle up and read, and since some of us are already thinking of the holidays, it’s a great time to get into that holiday spirit early with a new box set.

Synopsis

Christmas has a way of finding people who have stopped looking for miracles.

From snowy Pemberley and rugged Alaska to a tropical cruise, cozy villages, second chances, unexpected families, and animals with opinions of their own, these holiday romances prove that Christmas magic can find any heart—sometimes in the craziest possible way. Here’s what’s waiting to tickle your imagination!

MR. DARCY’S CHRISTMAS STRAYS

Rachelle Ayala

Elizabeth Darcy wants only a quiet Christmas and the safe arrival of her unborn child. Instead, a mysterious boy and his mischievous puppy arrive at Pemberley—bringing secrets, chaos, and an unexpected chance to heal.

KIT KRINGLE: AN ALASKAN TALE

Dani Haviland

Kay came to Alaska to build a business, not fall in love. But a quiet mechanic, a feral cat named Yardley, and one unforgettable winter have other plans.

ALOHA TO LOVE

Josie Riviera

A screenwriter boards a Hawaii-bound Christmas cruise to repair her screenplay with the volcanologist who criticized it. She expects arguments and deadlines—not tropical romance with the one man determined to get every detail right.

THE ID BIRD

Lark Lonestar

A widowed pet-shop owner is struggling to save his business when a lonely woman begins stopping by for crickets—and conversation. Unfortunately for Horace, his African Grey parrot has heard every private thought he’s had about her and is eager to repeat them.

SWEPT INTO SHANGRI-LA

Susan Jean Ricci

After another betrayal, Sylvie searches for an affordable refuge where she can rebuild her life before Christmas. Her tiny new “she-cave” offers surprising neighbors, unexpected complications, and the possibility of a love she thought she had lost forever.

ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS

Denise Devine

Returning home to restore a long-neglected tavern wasn’t part of Ashton’s plan. Neither was reconnecting with the man she left behind—but Christmas in West Loon Bay has a way of making old dreams feel possible again.

NOELLE’S GAMBIT

Susanne Matthews

Noelle Canton refuses to let the sale of her family’s inn destroy the town’s final Christmas Extravaganza. To save the celebration, she must outmaneuver a corporate troubleshooter whose familiar face may be hiding the biggest secret of all.

Filled with laughter, hope, healing, and happily-ever-afters, this is the perfect collection to enjoy with a cup of cocoa—marshmallows optional.

Here’s just a bit more about Noelle’s Gambit!

When Noelle Canton discovers that her uncle’s sale of the inn will ruin Christmas not just for her but for the town, she is determined not to let it happen. All she needs to do is delay the demolition by a month and convince the corporate troubleshooter to see things her way. Will her plan work or will Scrooge and his greedy band of followers carry the day?

The Hollygrove Inn on the outskirts of Oakville, Vermont, has always been Noelle’s home, but lately, things haven’t gone well. When Clarington Resorts makes her uncle a generous offer, he accepts, but the offer requires them to move out of the inn before Christmas, canceling the annual Christmas Extravaganza, something he failed to mention to Noelle.

Determined not to let that happen, Noelle comes up with a plan she hopes will delay the demolition and shows up at a town council meeting with a significant number of supporters. With goodwill essential to the company’s success in the area, they offer to send someone to discuss the matter and try to come to an arrangement.

It’s up to Noelle to convince the company’s man to let them have this one last Christmas Extravaganza at the inn. But things are not what they seem. There’s something familiar about Jim Hatcher. When she discovers the truth about him, will she forgive him, especially when it looks as if her gambit has failed?

Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren. I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write. If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s. I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well. I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those. If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows. Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them! Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it!
