Summary: “I have watched you from afar for so long. ‘Tis only fitting, as I breathe my last, that I do it in the arms I’ve longed to feel around my person for two plus years or more.” Rojan Purchanting, Pirate Captain, and half-brother to the King of Gunkermal didn’t mean to blurt out fateful words as he stumbled into Petrov after a disagreement with a knife. But the Goddess of the Moon and Sea works in mysterious ways. Rojan soon found Petrov following him out of castle windows, into houses of ill-repute, and riding beside him as they chase down the threats to Caspian and Nikolas, still bristling with the innate confidence and protectiveness that had caught Rojan’s eyes years before. “I’m going to work on keeping the foolhardy man alive first. Anything else we’ll count as a bonus.” Petrov, Duke of Moorland has been a confidant and friend to King Consort Nikolas for most of his life. He really didn’t need to be following around Caspian’s half-brother, hoping the fool man wouldn’t get himself into more trouble. But somehow, it quickly became all he wanted to do. It’s the only thing left I can do. Determined to keep Rojan safe by any means possible, Petrov decides the only way to do that is to enter into a Marriage Contract with him. But as the danger to Caspian and Nikolas gets closer to home, Petrov wonders if he’ll ever know the true Rojan Purchanting. Would he be pirate captain, prince, or king? While most of the books in my Another Arranged Marriage series can be read as standalones, readers will understand more about the motives of the secondary characters and main plot points if they have read The Infidelity Clause first.

Summary: Brighton Stanley lived under the control of his strict parents until he finished college. After toughing it out another year and saving every dime he made, he was all too happy to be in his first apartment away from their meddling. But that didn’t matter to them, and they kept his room just as he’d left it, awaiting his return. But Brighton knew there was nothing that would make him ever go back. Finally free, and with a place of his own, he spun around the vacant space, and was far too happy to care that he’d be sleeping on the floor. A knock on the door—his door—made him smile as he swung it open. There on the other side stood the most handsome man he’d ever seen with a gift in hand. Was he dreaming? Edward Fulton hadn’t seen his boy in weeks and was tired of the too few and too far-between calls they’d exchanged. The need to see his Christopher had led him here, and the present he held in his hands was a good excuse for the unscheduled visit. But when he met the surprised face of a different resident at the place his boy had lived, all he could do was shove the gift he’d brought at the curious stranger, and hurry away to lick his wounds. Brighton is part of A Daddy for Christmas, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones, but each Daddy has a unique gift for his wonderful boy (or boys). Except all boys know that sometimes Santa gets it wrong, and it's going to take a very special Daddy to make it right. So why not stay and read them all?

Summary: Nachielus (not Nicholas) may have gotten into a bit of trouble over unsanctioned miracles, ending up on the upstairs’ naughty list. Sure, maybe he’d gotten a little carried away with the whole Christmas thing, but he hadn’t meant to become a part of folklore, and surely that wasn’t a reason to bury him in centuries of paperwork. Banned from topside and missing his favorite holiday, he gets a push from a certain demon to pop up and have a look around. When he meets Beckett, a Christmas-loving elf enthusiast who mistakes him for the Santa hired for a fundraiser, how can he say no? Next thing he knows, Nach is in over his head again, because this is one human he can’t resist. Beck's Christmas is merry and bright, especially after he encounters Nach, the hottie in questionable Santa attire. Nach's kindness, generosity, and charm have Beck falling faster than a snowflake. With no place to stay, obviously Beck needs to bring Nach home with him. Beck never believed in love at first sight before, but there’s just something about Nach that calls to him, and it isn’t long before he’s trying to figure out how to keep this sexy Santa all to himself. Tags: Beck is living his own Christmas rom-com, complete with a meet cute and lots of Christmas kisses; Nach never means to cause trouble—it just seems to find him (and the reindeer thing was definitely not his fault); Nach has a very loose definition of what constitutes a miracle; corporate Scrooges try to suck the fun out of Christmas (but don’t worry, they don’t succeed); Nach is an angel of joy of fulfillment, so expect plenty of joy… and fulfillment (wink, wink). A Beginner’s Guide to Christmas Miracles is a 30k novella bursting with laughs, holiday spirit, and a Happily Ever After that even the Grinch would approve of. Get ready for festive chaos, Christmas kisses, and a love story weirder than Grandma's fruitcake.
