Spiralling By Cici Williams
Can she keep her head in the game, or will she fall for him?
Maya is trying not to spin out. Since she gave up on her childhood dreams of figure skating, she is now the successful PR behind this year’s skating champions and she really needs to dazzle everyone for their performance at the Winter Gala.
The job heats up when Maya finds herself stuck sharing a fancy suite with Gabriel, the way-too-organised and way-too-handsome Sports Commentator she has a huge crush on. But she knows he is looking for love – and Maya only does one-night-stands.
Gabriel is on thin ice. He’s trying to stay in control: of his words when he’s on camera, and his feelings for Maya, the emotionally unavailable woman he’s still secretly yearning for. Now he can’t avoid spending time with her in an incredibly romantic Alpine hotel, and he’s dangerously close to falling for her.
When Maya finds herself pulled back on to the ice — and closer to Gabriel — will they give in to their desires? Or will their chance at happiness slip out of their reach?
Stay Another Christmas By Phillipa Ashley
After a life-changing accident, Katie’s plan for Christmas is simple: rent a spectacular island house in the Lake District, gather the people she loves, and enjoy snowy walks, crackling fires and the promise of a fresh start.
What she doesn’t plan on?
Her ex-boyfriend turning up.
Still reeling from their break-up, Katie isn’t sure whether seeing him again will bring closure or reopen old wounds. Especially when she finds herself drawn to Arlo, the handsome owner of the island house, who is keeping his heart carefully guarded.
As Christmas approaches, old feelings resurface and new sparks begin to fly. Katie must decide whether to give the past one more chance, or open her heart to a love she never expected.
The Replacement By Nicola Gill
Jane has everything under control. Though her ex-husband has moved an hour away, totally disrupting her daughters’ routines, and her mother has died, her publisher has dropped her and her literary agent no longer wants to represent her. She’s even organised enough to be able to stand in for an ill friend and teach a residential writing course at a day’s notice.
But the last student to arrive, in a flurry of drama and noise, is the person who will bring everything crashing down: Lucy, the woman who Jane’s husband left her for, his second wife. How can the two possibly spend a week together?
But this course could mean a serious boost to the writing career of one of them. How can they not?
Rivalry Brewing By Walker Rose
She belongs in the saddle. He loves the ride…
Bowen
I’ve never belonged on Crossroads Ranch. But since my father passed, I’m stuck trying to hire a ranch manager to take over, without a bed to call my own. Nothing ever changes around here: including our sassy veterinarian and parttime ranch worker Sawyer Booth. She’s the girl I’ve always resented for fitting in here when I couldn’t, but whose sexy, jean-clad sway I’ve secretly never been able to resist…
When I get wind her ex is still bothering her, it’s like a red rag waved at a bull. Before I know it, I’m offering her a deal. I’ll be her fake boyfriend, get her ex off her back. All I need to do is temporarily move into her spare room—and take her for a good ride around the dancefloor at the next country barn dance. What could go wrong?
Sawyer
Sexy, studious Bowen Cross is clearly more comfortable behind his annoyingly hot glasses and a computer screen than in his cowboy hat and oh-so-deliciously-tight wranglers. It’s no secret Bowen resents me. So when he suggests I fake date him, you could knock me down with a feather.
The thought of Bowen sleeping in the room next to mine makes my heart pound… But I really do not want to go to the charity dance alone when my ex will be there making unwelcome eyes at me.
I should have known that fake handholding would lead to real kissing. Real kissing would lead to two-stepping and hands roaming—and that could lead to so much more…
If only Bowen could admit this is where he really belongs. On this ranch. Between my sheets. And in my heart… before I get hurt all over again.
