A Hard Luck Christmas By Brenda Novak
Single mom Patience Mather is focused on two things—her daughter and planning a Christmas festival that will contribute to the revitalization of Hard Luck, Nevada. She has no time for complications—or sparks with returned bad boy Kanon Kincaid. He’s back to claim an inheritance of half of a failing motel. He’ll fix what’s broken…starting with his own reputation.
As a pastor’s daughter, Patience knows better than to fall for someone who might skip town again, and Kanon believes someone steady and safe is what Patience deserves. But in the glow of twinkling lights and holiday magic, their undeniable connection makes every choice harder. Can Christmas in Hard Luck deliver a second chance…or just heartbreak?
The Gift Of The Matchmaker By Liz Alden
When I agreed to attend a romantic and lavish winter wedding as Lee Thorne’s fake date, I knew his family would be a problem—but I didn’t expect to tear them apart.
My matchmaker set me up with a sugar daddy who doesn’t want sugar. Four months in, Lee still hasn’t asked for anything but company—until he asks me to be his girlfriend for Christmas.
Not for real. For his sister’s wedding, in front of a family he’d clearly rather not face alone. It’s easy money, the kind that could buy me more time with my sick dad, and all I have to do is smile, wear the clothes he buys me, and remember that I’m supposed to be smitten.
Except while in this gorgeous mansion in the Berkshires with his family, Lee and I team up. He defends me from his family’s pointed questions, I help him ignore their disapproval. When the heat goes out, we stick together.
And somewhere along the way, the awkward, quiet man I know becomes someone I can’t stop thinking about.
Until I get an ultimatum. Turns out we’re both willing to give up everything for each other—we just don’t find out until after the wrapping paper’s gone.
Thanksgiving With The Firefighter By Tanya Agler
Can a small-town firefighter…
Win a city girl’s heart?
Structural engineer Amelia Foster is in Ruby Canyon, Wyoming, to help her sister through a risky time during her pregnancy before starting a top-notch project back in sunny Miami.

But Amelia’s well-meaning efforts don’t go smoothly, causing Dan to rethink the arrangement—just as the kids grow attached and he and Amelia draw closer. When a twist of unexpected danger causes Dan to race to Amelia’s rescue, their feelings are finally forced into the open. Will they realize that their hearts are not meant to be apart?
Stupid Matchmaking Love By Amy Boyles
If there are two things massage therapist Cristina Palmer is done with, it’s men (thanks to her manipulative ex) and magic (it can make a girl lose control). All she wants is to run the spa at the new Summit resort, make her clay figurines, and avoid her frustratingly attractive boss, Rhett Maddox.
Unfortunately, magic has other plans.
To boost publicity, the resort is hosting the very first magical matchmaking competition in Mystic Meadows. But when Rhett and Cristina are paired as supposedly perfect soulmates, they’re determined to prove the magic wrong. Six weeks of live stream challenges designed to make them fall in love? Easy. They’ll simply fail.
Except their chemistry is anything but fake.
And the stakes aren’t, either. A six-figure grand prize could bring Cristina’s manipulative family crashing back into her life—and getting close to Rhett means risking her heart all over again.
Because the real challenge isn’t the competition.
It’s trusting each other.
And maybe—just maybe—embracing the magic.
