    The Sheriff’s Christmas by Lorelei Confer

    Five days before Christmas, an old flame of the Sheriff’s returns to Saddle Creek, Wyoming to convince him to run away with her and take all his wife’s money with them. She disappears quickly and, in her haste, leaves something behind.

    While searching for Christmas decorations in the attic of the Travis B&B, the owner, Deputy Ronnie Travis Rogers finds a hidden trunk that belonged to her late Aunt Sally. What she finds inside is a mystery that could change the entire dynamics of her family. Will she pursue it? Or keep it a secret?

    After years of working on Christmas Eve, the Sheriff is finally able to attend the annual Christmas Eve celebration with his three best friends who he considers them his brothers (from another mother) and their growing families at Rosie’s Diner. Mitch and Ronnie return to their home with the promise of love, joy and happiness; the true meaning of Christmas.

    Sheriff Mitch Rogers and his new wife, Deputy Ronnie Travis Rogers, Owner of the Travis B&B in Saddle Creek, Wyoming, share their First Christmas together with an unexpected gift left behind by an old flame of the Sheriff’s.

    Sheridan DeMarco wants to be anywhere but home for the holidays. She’s happy to spend Christmas house-sitting in South Carolina, far away from her parents’ new blended families. Too bad when she arrives at the charming beach cottage, she isn’t as blissfully alone as she planned.

    Michael “Mikey” Patterson needs to stay out of sight until his attorney gives him the all clear. He finds the perfect place in a small coastal town, but there’s a problem. Mikey isn’t the only one staying at the beach house, and his surprise roommate pushes all his buttons.

    A sprig of mistletoe and one memorable kiss make Sheridan and Mikey forget their plans to stay away from each other. But when family gets in the way, will their happily ever after get tossed out along with the discarded wrapping paper and tinsel?

    What happens under the mistletoe…

    When a sledding accident catapults governess Annabelle O’Sullivan ninety-four years into the future, she panics. She doesn’t know how to get back to 1925, and she doesn’t know how to survive in the twenty-first century. Annabelle must depend on the kindness of a stranger and his daughter, and she repays that kindness the only way she knows how: by making a home. The longer she stays, the less she wants to leave. But can she trust this stranger with her life?

    Since the death of his wife, Daniel Wagner has shut down his heart to everyone except his daughter, Olivia. Other women—including some of his employees at the ski lodge he manages—have angled for his attention. But Daniel found avoidance easy, until he was forced to rescue an unconscious woman lying in a snowdrift by the side of the road. Although the stranger seems to have no past, Daniel soon finds himself thinking about a present—and a future—with her.

    First Class Christmas by Katy Eeten

    It's time for a Christmas Romance - 6 authors share their best #RLFblog #ChristmasRomance @loreleiconfer @AugustinaVHoven @TheCaroCarson @MelissaMcClone @KatyEetenWhen Mandy Brockman flies home from her friend’s destination wedding, her heart is on empty at the thought of spending Christmas alone. It doesn’t help that her ex is on the plane, seemingly unaffected by their breakup. But the kind-hearted man seated next to her seems to have it all together—and he’s handsome to boot. She knows her emotional healing won’t come in the form of another guy, but will the source of this man’s peace and joy help Mandy find the Christmas she’s looking for?

    CJ Hawkins is captivated by the beautiful, feisty woman he meets on his flight. The only thing is, she’s fresh out of a relationship, and he has no interest in being anyone’s rebound. But the more he learns about Mandy, the more he’s drawn to her unique mixture of compassion and spunk. Can he figure out how to make their relationship take off before this First Class Christmas is grounded forever?

    The Hidden by Augustina Van Hoven

    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13

    The monsters are real…

    For most of her life, Lily Montgomery had thought the creatures that inhabited her dreams lived on only in the pages of the horror novels she wrote. Until she was kidnapped by a vampire and forced to go on the run from werewolves and other shapeshifters. And from her emotions. For, against all reason, her heart was also at risk of being captured by the vampire.

    Valerian DuCharme had been turned into a vampire against his will. But in the turning, he did not lose his charisma or his caring. Now the enforcer for one of the princely houses of the Community, he tried to ensure the safety of anyone who came within range. And of many who didn’t. But it was all reflex, until he met Lily. And emotions he hadn’t felt for hundreds of years surfaced.

And emotions he hadn’t felt for hundreds of years surfaced.

    Know the Hero from The Hidden

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

    He’d go for a run under the stars, preferable along a nice lake or river.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    He loves breakfast food with eggs and bacon so he’d pick up a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    He loves boots, jeans, a tee shirt and his leather jacket.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    If it is something created before electricity, he can fix but modern things, not so much.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    His current mission is to find out who is leaking information about the hidden community to the humans. He needs to question a woman about it but soon discovers there are others after her. He kidnapped her to keep her safe and now must protector her from shifters and others who want to kill both of them.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    Since he was turned into a vampire, he lost the ability to have his own, so he is very kind and gentle with children.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Since being in any kind of sunlight turns him into a briquette, he is in his case before sunrise.

    How does he act around people who don’t know what he is?

    That depends on his mission. He can be very charming and diplomatic when he needs their trust or he can scare the crap out of them if they are in his way.

    Will he let a worker handle things or do it himself?

    He has a trusted human assistant named Karl. Karl also acts as his daylight ambassador.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Unadorned skin.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Personal vehicle always. He is either in his van if he is on a mission or his Ducati Diavel motorcycle.

    Recycle or toss?

    Toss. Two hundred year old habits are hard to break.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!
