Mind You Manors by CeeCee James

The story started with Oscar O’Neil (and his dog Peanut/Bear) from from the Baker Street Mysteries. He was the retired FBI agent who was estranged from his two boys. Well, this series is written from the point of view of his granddaughter!

I can’t wait for you all to meet Stella O’Neil! She’s got a lot on her plate, trying to figure out her crazy, stubborn family and starting a new business. Throw in a dead body found in what used to be the town’s “royalty” family’s manor, and you’ve got quite the mystery. But, I think she can get it done. She may be sweet, but she’s pretty stubborn herself.

How the Grinch Stole My Heart by Annabelle Costa

Single mom Noelle can’t stand her crotchety next-door neighbor.

She’s never met the man in person, but Mr. Grieder, a.k.a. Mr. Grinch, leaves her nasty notes whenever her son plays in the hallway. He complained until their doorman got rid of the beautiful Christmas tree in the lobby. He even slammed his door on the Girl Scout Carolers. This is Noelle’s first Christmas since a painful divorce, and this grouchy old hermit seems determined to make her favorite holiday as unpleasant as he possibly can.

Except there are two things Noelle doesn’t know about Mr. Grinch:

One, he’s not an old man.

And two, he’s going to be her date for Saturday night.

About the Author…

Annabelle Costa is a physical therapist who loves the following things, not necessarily in this order:

–Chick lit (both reading it and writing it)

–Cupcakes (both making them and eating way too many of them)

–British accents (both listening to them and pretending to have one)

–80s movies (both watching them and quoting them out of context while her friends frown in confusion)

–Pop music (both listening to it and singing it very, very badly in the car and/or shower)

Christmas at Conwenna Cove by Darcie Boleyn

Pack your bags for a festive trip to Conwenna Cove, just in time for Christmas…

When Grace Phillips arrives in Conwenna Cove to help her parents move in, 30 years after their honeymoon in the village, she sees why they fell in love with the place. The festive decorations, carols in the air and constant supply of delicious mince pies certainly make it hard to leave. Not to mention mysterious, if abrupt, local vet Oli Davenport.

It’s been two years since Oli lost his wife to cancer. He loves his eleven-year-old Amy and five-year-old Tom more than anything, and his world revolves around being both mum and dad to his children. He has no interest in romance until he crosses paths with beautiful and kind-hearted Grace. The sparks fly but both Oli and Grace are holding onto the fear of letting someone into their heart.

As the snow falls and Christmas wishes come true can Conwenna Cove work its magic and help Grace and Oli find the happiness they both deserve?

About the Author…

Darcie Boleyn has a huge heart and is a real softy. She never fails to cry at books and movies, whether the ending is happy or not.

Darcie is in possession of an overactive imagination that often keeps her awake at night. Her childhood dream was to become a Jedi but she hasn’t yet found suitable transport to take her to a galaxy far, far away. She also has reservations about how she’d look in a gold bikini, as she rather enjoys red wine, cheese and loves anything with ginger or cherries in it – especially chocolate.

Darcie fell in love in New York, got married in the snow, rescues uncoordinated greyhounds and can usually be found reading or typing away on her laptop.

On the twenty-second day of Christmas…

The Deermaster by Christina van Deventer

Everyone agrees that Sean Stern was supposed to become the first elven apprentice to the Deermaster. But instead, the Master chose Chris Claussen, a human orphan who doesn’t seem to have half the magic or knowledge Sean has. To make things worse, Chris Claussen has killed two reindeer since his appointment and he doesn’t seem to be getting any better at flying the sleigh. When he knocks on the Sterns’
door in the middle of the night, Sean just knows something is very, very wrong. But Chris isn’t there to ask for his help. Instead it is Carol he asks for. Carol, who might just go to impossible lengths to help the new Deermaster. Even if it endangers everyone in Snow Falls. Even if it costs her her life.

About the Author…

Christina van Deventer is a South African/Icelandic writer who loves books almost as much as she loves life. She has various short stories published in her native Afrikaans in the ‘Nuwe Stories’ collections, available on Amazon. Her first novel will come to Amazon Kindle in 2018.

Christmas and Cannolis by Peggy Jaeger

With Christmas season in full swing, baker Regina San Valentino is up to her elbows in cake batter and cookie dough. Between running her own business, filling her bursting holiday order book, and managing her crazy Italian family, she’s got no time to relax, no room for more custom cake orders, and no desire to find love. A failed marriage and a personal tragedy have convinced her she’s better off alone. Then a handsome stranger enters her bakery begging for help. Regina can’t find it in her heart to refuse him.

Connor Gilhooly is in a bind. He needs a specialty cake for an upcoming fundraiser and puts himself—and his company’s reputation—in Regina’s capable hands. What he doesn’t plan on is falling for a woman with heartbreak in her eyes or dealing with a wise-guy father and a disapproving family.

Can Regina lay her past to rest and trust the man who’s awoken her heart?
