Matchmaking a Scrooge
He wants to destroy her show. She wants to get on Santa’s naughty list with him.
Rowans narcissistic grandmother just sold a reality dating show to network television.
Her show needs to be stopped, and hes exactly the man to do it. Cupid, reporting for duty.
Kennedy is supposed to be dating eight men, and they all suck. But shes not here to fall in love—shes trying to save a non-profit with the publicity from the show—but shes hoping for a Christmas miracle. She loves Christmas, and there’s only one thing she wants more than Christmas cheer: the ornery grump who keeps hanging out around the set.
Jingle Bell Hell

Getting Lucky
One night. Just one night.
At least thats what Maisie tells herself because even though Jacks arms are things of beauty and he can charm wild animals (a huge turn-on for an animal lover like her), she’s in no position to start anything with anyone. So she pretends she’s just scratching an itch.
Jacks pretending too, telling himself he doesnt have time for a romantic life with his family turmoil. Only his best friend announces his engagement, and surprise, Maisies in the wedding.
Fate keeps bringing Jack and Maisie together, reminding them of how good they are together—if only they can get past their issues.

The Thief Who Saved ChristmasRomance · Angela Casella
Hed like to be the man in her life, but she already has one-hundred-and-seven collectible Santa Clauses.
Ryan
Im not a ho-ho-ho kind of guy. My brother and I were raised in foster care, and the closest thing we had to a father was a career criminal whod sooner steal Christmas than save it. I followed in his footsteps, Im ashamed to say, and did things for him that I regret.
Like taking a priceless Christmas ornament from a Colonial Williamsburg inn.
I’m trying to be a better man, and the first step is returning that ornament. Except I’m too late.
The owner passed away and left the inn to her granddaughter, Anabelle—a high-strung, Christmas-obsessed loner whose cat takes an immediate dislike to me.
But Anabelle needs my help. Her inn’s in trouble, and her ex is planning a hostile takeover. Besides…
I may have come to make amends, but I stay because I’m falling for the woman who loves Christmas. And I’m damn well going to save it for her.
Anabelle
When Ryan Langston booked a room in my inn and said he was staying indefinitely, I knew something was wrong.
No one stays indefinitely. Most people seem to be in a hurry to leave.
But the longer he stays, the less I worry about what brought him here…
Because this chaotic, charming man is exactly what my life’s been missing.

The Love Fixers: A Grumpy Sunshine, Fish-Out-of-Water, Bad Boy Romantic Comedy (Unlucky in Love BookRomance · Angela Casella
Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door.
Claire
A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I've inherited property from my father. I assume it's a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar.
I board a flight to my bio-dad's hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won't make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he's about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward—and we both regret it when we discover he's my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants.
To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad's cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn't know I had—Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath.
If I weren't unemployed and broke, I'd leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are…extreme.
Declan
I came to the mountains to hide and be left alone, and now I'm never alone.
Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire Rainey. She's tempting as hell, particularly now that I've had a taste of her, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble—or get wrapped up in hers.
