Everyone knows that if you want a Christmas wish to come true, you go to Garland, Maine, and make a wish as the star is placed on top of the tree in Cider Center.
And this year, I made an impossible wish–that all of my friends and I would fall in love before the holiday was over.
The only problem? No guy at school has ever even looked my way long enough to be interested in me.
Now I’m worried this might be my first Christmas wish that won’t come true… Until I start working in Santa’s workshop. And Santa?
He’s not a pudgy, hairy old man.
He’s a hottie in a red suit with captivating blue eyes, a stunning sense of humor, and a smile that makes me melt like a snowman in March. Unfortunately, the other Garland tradition is that no one can know Santa’s true identity.
I’m falling for him, but if he tells me who he really is, he’ll break the most sacred tradition in Garland. And without knowing him, this relationship will never be more than a winter fling.
How can my wish come true when I’ll never know who Santa really is?
Everyone knows that if you want to have an incredible Christmas season, you go to Garland, Maine, where the entire town joins in on celebrating Christmas.
Well, everyone except me.
Every year since my parents’ divorce, they’ve fought to make Christmas at their place the best. Shuffling back and forth between the two and running ragged with all the activities has ruined the holidays every year.
So this year, I finally tell them both I’m done celebrating Christmas. And they agree on one condition: I have to show the new guy in town the best Garland has to offer this year.
I thought it would be a tedious set of tasks to show him around, but for the first time I’m having fun during the holidays. Even better? I think he likes me too.
That is until I learn our arrangement wasn’t just a way for me to get out of the Christmas Olympics with my parents. There was something in it for him too.
And at the end of it all, I have to wonder… Was any of it real for him, or would I have been better off celebrating with my parents after all?
What happens when the Christmas-loving curvy girl is forced to volunteer for a Christmas charity with the grumpiest guy in a town?
I’m babysitting two little girls while their mom works and their dad’s deployed. Their mom asked me to keep them busy serving others so they don’t have time to miss their dad. I’m all for it… until I realize the charity she signed us up for is managed by the Scrooge-iest guy in town.
You’d think someone who’s grown up selling Christmas trees with a giant, fluffy dog named Bauble would have a little more holiday spirit but no such luck. His parents put him in charge of the project to try boosting his mood.
At first, I’m not sure their plan is working, but once I see his gentler side with the girls, I start falling for him, even though I know we’re more opposite than peppermint and garlic.
As he opens up to me, I have to wonder… Does all the mistletoe in town have my head coming up with make-believe stories that will never come true? Is he being nice just for the girls? Or could he be thawing his heart for me too?
Men view love as a game. One you can walk away from.
At least that’s what the men in my life have taught me. My dad ran off when I was young, and just when I thought I was getting my own happily ever after, my ex left me on my own with two kids.
Trying to pick up the pieces, I move to a small town where I can have help from my children’s grandparents. I think I know what to expect from small-town life. Until I meet my new neighbor.
Knox Madigan. Local hero. Great smile. So hot I'm sure I’d be burned if I got too close.
Literally. He and my kids are in a major prank war. From whoopie cushions in my bed to snapping fireworks under my front door mat, I’ve witnessed it all. But I can’t hold it against him because my kids are smiling more than I’ve seen since their dad left.
Every meddling person in this town thinks we’d be the perfect match, but I know better.
History’s shown men view love as a game, and he’s an expert. But I can’t afford to play with my heart again. Especially since it’s not just my heart on the line.
Pain burned through my veins like wildfire, electrifying each nerve ending and searing through every thought I had ever had. I was sure this was how I would die, and I wished it would hurry up. - Charles Walsh.
Deep in the woods a darkness stirs and impossible, horrifying, creatures exist. Deputy Charles Walsh had always held a healthy level of skepticism. However, when he meets Eric Linnaeus, a man marked by the fae and trained to kill, he is forced to accept a new reality. Facing supernatural creatures and cursed objects, he discovers that everything is not as it seems. If he hopes to survive, he must learn from Linnaeus, yet he can’t help but wonder - is this man’s word to be trusted?
Book one in the dark fantasy horror series Eric Linnaeus.
An alpha rises, one pawprint at a time.
Thom has his hands full with a gathering of pack leaders, a hunt for his mate's smile, and a visit from a very unconventional alpha. Find out how he comes into his own in these two short stories, intended to be enjoyed after Moon Duel.
The Book of Demons, the much-anticipated sequel to The Book of Souls, finds Jack Kelly in the fight of his life. This time, he's not battling ghosts. His nemesis is the shapeshifting necromancer, Mr. Philips, who inhabits both the world of the living and the world of the dead.
Ghost-touched teen Jack Kelly returns in this polished urban fantasy/horror sequel to Moore’s The Book of Souls. At times an intriguing mystery, at others a chilling thriller, The Book of Demons offers a sensational stroll through the hustle and bustle of an inventively paranormal version of 80s New York City. Jack’s development throughout is an adventurous, if spooky, coming of age story that will thrill and at times scare readers of classic urban fantasy and YA series... — Booklife Reviews
When Mr. Philips discovers a powerful, cursed painting whose magic he can use for personal gain, he will stop at nothing to acquire it…including murder.
Before he can get his hands on it, the painting goes missing and its artist is found dead. Enraged, Mr. Philips vows to hunt it down. But someone else finds it first: Jack, a teenage mystic who understands the painting’s tremendous power and would do anything to keep Mr. Philips from harnessing it.
Along with two unexpected allies—a non-verbal autistic child and the spirit of a dead nun—Jack battles to keep the painting away from Mr. Philips. But as the stakes rise along with the body count, their epic battle for possession of the painting may cost Jack everything and everyone he loves.
A fresh, funny and deeply moving novel set in the gritty world of mixed martial arts, with an unlikely main character and a story that will stay with you long after you finish listening to it. Perfect for fans of John Green and anyone who enjoys stories that are heartfelt and humorous.
When a car wreck leaves sixteen-year-old Dylan with one leg, suddenly everyone in his life treats him differently. His girlfriend dumps him, his parents want to wrap him in cotton wool and the jocks at his new school see him as an easy target.
As he struggles to come to terms with what’s happened, curiosity (and a humiliating schoolyard fight) lead him through the doors of a local MMA gym where he runs into Santana, a tough, Latina fighter with her own unique set of challenges.
With Santana as a reluctant mentor, Dylan begins training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a full contact martial art that makes learning to walk again seem easy by comparison. With his body bruised and his ego dented, Dylan finds himself pushed to the edge, not just physically, but also emotionally.
Can Dylan stay the course and find the courage and determination to change not just how the world sees him, but how he sees himself?
