Kissing-under-the-mistletoe rule #1: never kiss your ex-fiancée. Oops. My plans for the Christmas break include: 1. Drive to Lake Tahoe, 2. Learn to ski, 3. Enjoy hot, earth-shattering sex (and end my sex drought!), 4. Meet my Forever Love under the mistletoe. Right—the last one was my friend's prediction, but you never know. What I don't count on is a flat tire, a major blizzard, and for Liam Quade, my ex-fiancé and the man who broke my heart ten years ago, to come to my rescue. Oh, damn. **** While driving back to San Francisco to spend Christmas with my family, I discover Ava stuck on the side of the road. She's the woman I was forced to walk away from ten years ago. And now, she's the woman who would rather be coated with honey and fed to a hungry bear than to be within ten feet of me. Ouch. I drive Ava to a nearby inn to wait out the storm…and end up kissing her under the mistletoe. But Christmas magic is in the air and I quickly realize that I never stopped loving her. As secrets from ten years ago begin to unravel, I have to prove to her our love is worth a second chance. I have to prove to Ava that I'm her forever.

She's pregnant with another man's baby. He's now the father to his little niece. A sexy rom com with all the feels! Single Mom-To-Be Rule #1: watch out for those horny hormones. Oops. After a childhood of bouncing from one foster home to another and a series of failed relationships, I've taken matters into my own hands when it comes to starting a family. Or rather, someone else's hand. And a plastic cup. I'd rather be a single mom than be let down again, and I'm definitely not looking for a baby daddy. That includes sexy workaholic game designer Wes Chiasson, thank you very much. *** My software company has been my number one, two, and three priorities. But that all changes when I suddenly become the guardian of my three-year-old niece. Now my world has turned topsy-turvy with princesses and little-girl tea parties. When Hannah Morrell needs a place to stay after the pipes in her apartment burst, I invite her to move in with my niece and me. Hannah is a pediatric nurse, and given my situation, who could ask for a better roommate? Sounds easy. Right? It is—until emotions get tossed into the mix. Because if there's one thing history has taught Hannah, it's that the people who've gained her love can't be trusted. And now I have to put my heart on the line to prove otherwise.

Masquerade ball rule #1: what happens at the ball doesn't always stay at the ball. Oops.   A chance encounter with a masked stranger at a charity ball led to an incredible kiss and a night of hot sex. The kiss was my goal for that night, a baby step forward after my husband's death a year ago. The hot sex? Not so much.   You know what else hadn't been my goal?   To be knocked up by a man whose identity is a mystery to me.   So now I'm preparing for my impending motherhood and planning a fundraiser to provide books for foster kids.   The latter is where hot hockey player Logan Mathews comes in...   **** The last time I saw Kiera Ashdown was the night of the Jingle Balls masquerade ball. She'd wanted her first time with a man after her husband's death to be with a stranger.   After my NHL team trades me to San Francisco, where my daughter and ex-wife live, I'm determined to be a better father and not repeat past mistakes. My hockey career and my daughter come first.   The last thing I expect to discover is that Kiera is my seven-year-old daughter's teacher. The last thing I expect to learn is that she's pregnant with my dead best friend's child.   And the last thing I want to admit is that I was the one who made love to Kiera—several times—the night of the ball.   Because if she ever found out that I'd lied to her, I could lose her friendship. I could lose so much more...

Bucket List Rule #1: Be careful who finds your list.   Oops.   As the future CEO of my grandmother's fashion empire, I'm not supposed to want to design a line of fancy dresses for girls with special needs. But when I pull out all the stops and present my vision to my grandmother, she agrees to let me try on one very questionable condition.   The condition?   I have to complete every item on the bucket list I wrote in college.   Challenge accepted.   Only, this is the same bucket list that includes going on a date with a hot hockey player, riding a horse, kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower…oh, and finding a husband.   The first one is where NHL player Eli Lawson comes in.   *** When my matchmaking mother sets me up with a date for my cousin's wedding, I tell her the only thing I can…that I'm bringing my girlfriend.   Except, I don't have one.   And I certainly don't have someone who will spend a week with me in Copper Creek, Montana for the wedding festivities.   When workaholic Nala Johnson wins a date with me at a charity auction, I think I've found the perfect solution to my problem. Even better when she tells me about her bucket list. Because I'm just the man to help her with it.   I mean, how difficult can it be to find her a husband?
