The woman who destroyed his dreams is having his baby After spending the last year trying to get his song-writing career off the ground, Wally MacIver is back in Christmas Town for good. His dreams and ambition didn't bring him anything other than betrayal and pain, mainly at the hand of his boss, record executive Grayling Stanhope. So much for thinking their "connection" was anything other than business. But the last thing Wally expects is to run into Grayling again...in Christmas Town Grayling fell in love with Wally's songs long before she ever met him. Their attraction and connection was immediate, but divided loyalties and her own insecurities cost her the only man she's ever truly loved. She knows he might never trust her again, but there are some secrets she just can't keep. Somehow, some way, they've got to find a way to move beyond the past: especially now that they're going to have a baby

The Tome Wardens Novella Trilogy 3 Sisters. 3 Imprisoned Warriors. 1 Magical Destiny Warden of Magic Librarian Clara MacQueen came to Scotland with her two sisters to reunite with the mother who abandoned them years ago. But a visit to what looks like an innocent bookstore catapults Clara into a world of magic, mystery and adventure...and right into the arms of Bowen, an imprisoned warrior fighting an evil who will soon set its eyes on the MacQueen sisters. Warden of Sight Nellie MacQueen can't seem to catch a break. Dumped by her philandering fiance, she's come to Scotland with her two sisters to meet the mother who abandoned them ages ago. She's got enough to worry about without being catapulted into a magical world filled with water demons, violent soldiers, and no cell phone reception. Being saved by Keane, her one-time storybook hero turned blind resistance fighter, seems an outrageous fantasy, even for Nellie. Magical powers? Destiny? Love? It all seems impossible to logical Nellie, but there's nothing logical about the way Keane makes her feel. Is the attraction they feel for each other real? Or has Keane finally found the weapon he's been searching for? Warden of Fate To protect her sisters, Amber MacQueen's kept her magic a secret for her entire life. But when Nellie and Clara disappear into a magical storybook realm, Amber doesn't have any choice but to follow and fully embrace the powers she's long denied. Finding an imprisoned Rivalin, the warrior she's long dreamed about and loved, waiting for her upon her arrival is more than she could have hoped for. Meeting him in person does not disappoint. Finally, she's met the man of her dreams. Except Rivalin isn't the man she thinks he is. Being banished to the Forgotten Realm was torture enough, but the curse he's under has stolen everything from him, even control over his actions. Which means Amber, her sisters, and those in the realm are in grave danger. Not just from the evil forces out to destroy them, but from Rivalin himself.

Who's fooling who? Nathan Tremayne shares a dangerous secret with sister, Sheila, and his father, Jackson. Together they are Nemesis, the infamous cat burglar who targets the wealthy. But when Jackson is framed for stealing the priceless Crown of Serpia, the whole family is at risk. Nathan isn't about to let his father go down for a crime he didn't commit, but finding the real culprit won't be easy with Laurel Scott, the nosy, pushy, drop-dead gorgeous insurance investigator following his every move. But Laurel has secrets of her own. Posing as an insurance investigator was part of her own plan for the Tremaynes. A plan she has no choice but to follow through with. As their attraction heats up, and the truth comes out, will this pair of thieves steal each other's hearts? Or end Nemesis' reign once and for all?

When the right guy is so wrong...Morgan Tremayne has a heart of gold, but to keep her children's charity afloat she's had to resort to some less than legal means: donations from a notorious cat burglar who targets the wealthy. It's only a matter of time before Morgan's criminal connection blows up in her face-especially since her undeniable attraction to the man heading the investigation keeps putting her in tricky situations.Former police detective-turned-investigator Gage Juliano has two goals: salvaging his career and nabbing Nemesis, Lantano Valley's present-day Robin Hood. But when he meets a beautiful, curvaceous woman who's more interested in helping others than amassing a fortune like the rest of the town's residents, Gage finds his desires pulled in an unexpected direction...one that could cost him everything.

The family that steals together... Former beauty queen Sheila Tremayne looks dainty, but she's tougher than she seems. The hard-as-nails business woman is determined to bring down corruption among Lantano Valley's rich and powerful. Her latest scheme to get technology tycoon Chadwick Oliver is going perfectly until a distraction arrives in the form of Malcolm-the man who broke her heart and who happens to be Chadwick's son... Malcolm spent five long years away after his father publicly blamed him for some shady business dealings. Now he's back to exact some revenge. Reconnecting with Sheila was never part of the plan, but the second he sees her, there's no way he can resist... Sheila and Malcolm quickly fall into the sizzling passion between them and soon begin to believe there's more to life than vengeance. But how can Malcolm stay when he knows the secret he's keeping is the one that will drive them apart forever?
