Hi everyone! This week has been crazy for me. I ended up working four days and that is great for my clients but not so much for my writing. I won't have an update for Digging but I hope to finish it the next two weeks when I have some time off. I need to work out their ending and I just don't have the spoons for it this week.
Is everyone watching Heated Rivalry? I LOVE this series. I haven't read the books but I have bought the first one and plan to start it this week. Episode five was so good! Seeing Scott and Kip finally get to be happy was amazing!!!! And I'm not even going to mention the ending lol. If you haven't watched it yet, you're missing out and you REALLY need to check it out.
Thank you to those of you that sent me Christmas Cards. I really love seeing where you're all from. I still have shopping to do so hopefully I can finish it the next few days. We usually have a very casual holiday and I'm hoping to continue that tradition this year.
I'm so excited for what I have planned for next year, and hope to have a schedule soon. But you'll see more PNR, and more Small Town. You'll also get more hockey and hopefully another fairytale retelling. While I have loved doing collaborative projects, I really want to play in my own worlds and hopefully you'll enjoy that too!
Now for the good stuff!

Rory Smith has been playing bass for Blinding Light since the beginning. Sure, he left a few times temporarily, but he’s always gone back to the only life he’s really known. It was all fun and games in his twenties, but lately he wonders if there’s something more out there besides traveling show to show.
Kai Marshall has always been a huge fan of Blinding Light, but the real reason he goes to every show he can sneak into is to get a glimpse of their hot bass player. Everyone else worshiped the lead singer Easy Rian. When they found out, he was out and proud, and in a relationship with the new guitar player, many hearts were broken. But not his. His heart only beats for Rory, the white-blonde haired rock god that he can’t get out of his head.
Rory’s played the rockstar game for many years. Not one time in all those years has he met anyone who made him feel the way the cute guy off to the side with the haunting blue eyes does. He’s always kept his heart on lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone.

In a world of violence and secrets, they’ll have to decide if love is a lifeline or a death sentence.
One is running from a Russian crime empire. The other is a novelist who gave up on happy endings.

Benson McCoy likes life neat, tidy, and timed to the minute. His truck is his fortress of order; his schedule is his religion. But beneath the polished routine is a guy who’s lonely as hell and not expecting his world to get flipped by a hitchhiker with too much energy and zero chill.
Kyle Foster. Twenty-two, reckless, running from trouble with nothing but a backpack and a grin. He laughs too loud, asks too many questions, and has no idea how to keep his heart or his mouth shut.
One icy highway, one rig, and two strangers who can’t stop colliding. Between greasy diner stops, awkward silences, and late-night confessions, Benson and Kyle unravel each other in ways neither saw coming.
Benson wasn’t looking for a boy. Kyle wasn’t looking for a Daddy. But Christmas has a way of messing with plan.
Love doesn’t follow a schedule—especially on the open road.

Stability wasn’t part of Beck’s vocabulary until he reached the legal age of eighteen and had to fend for himself. Young, not so naïve yet well aware of his best…assets, he did what he had to do to survive. But what Beck desired above all else was a daddy who’d love him and his needy, unfiltered little side.
Crispin Knight was a workaholic, and that was putting it mildly. Boys came and went, and he was fine with that. Whenever he was home, he’d head to Cordes and find one to play with until it was time to leave again. That worked well until his friend Stanley’s boy Jobe brought his best friend to dinner one night.
Will a bunny-loving boy with a knack for saying the wrong things at the most inopportune times tame an overworked Daddy and build a forever with him? Or will he be hop, hop, hopping away with a broken heart?
Beck’s story is part of A Little Christmas: Season Four, a multi-author series. Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone but why not read them all and see what our silly boys and their protective daddies are up to?

From Author Wendy Rathbone

Can a young omega reindeer shifter and Santa’s number one elf find love amid the chaotic demands of the North Pole Christmas season?
Alpha Keir is a serious elf in charge of Santa’s team of flying reindeer. Navigating the spacetime continuum is no small feat, and he must see to it that everything is in order to conduct a single night of massive gift delivery. There can be no mistakes.
Fallon was born on a snowy night in December and left in an ice drift to die. He is rescued and raised by elves. Because of his difficult beginning, he can’t fly. He’s worked hard with the elves who serve Santa, making toys, but his first love is math and science and he studies hard in his off hours. He hopes to join Santa’s team at ground control. It would be the perfect job.
Keir is the big boss Fallon must try to impress to get the job he wants. But everything goes wrong when Fallon finds his attraction to Keir fogging his mind and sending him into the throes of heat. Worse, a big storm is brewing and it’s affecting the continuum.
Can two very different men save Christmas and find love all at the same time?
