Friends, in the rush of the upcoming holiday season, I almost didn't do a Christmas story this year. The holidays are so busy, tense, and carolers are calling, 'Buy my book.'

Deals and steals are everywhere, and I'm not sure about you, but I get overwhelmed by the selection.

But, I'm in the middle of this holiday series, and I didn't want to let you, my readers, down by not having a Christmas selection, so I'm working hard to make it happen.

As a result, I have a new Christmas release coming... Book 4 in the

Holiday Ever After Series

We all love a good snowed-in story, and this is one that I wrote with only two chapters, several years ago.

I used to publish on the old Discipline and Desire Website, for those of you who may recall that, run by the lovely Reesa, who is since deceased.

Many of these holiday stories are based on those old two-chapter stories, now expanded into full-length novellas.

Sierra and Spenser's story is intense, funny at times, and heartbreaking in others.

For the animal lovers out there, a spider named Legs lives under Sierra's bed, and a wolf she names Hermes can't make up his mind if he wants to be human or take up with a lady wolf enticing him into a romance of his own.

This is strictly insider information and hasn't been released anywhere else, except in the newsletter, so far.

I hope you will enjoy this tender love story, where love might conquer all after all.

She was desperate to be alone. He invaded her solitude.

Christmas cheer doesn’t stand a chance.

When a sudden blizzard threatens the cabin community of Montana Hideaways, Sierra Chapin hides under the bed with an enormous spider she names Legs to avoid an enforced evacuation. Her one wish for Christmas is to be entirely alone; the blizzard matches the rage inside her, and she welcomes it.

When resort owner Spenser Walker realizes one young woman is still unaccounted for, he makes the trek back to the Hideaway in full-on Grinch mode to locate her. He finds Sierra holed up on purpose and furious at his invasion of her solitude, but now they’re both snowbound until the roads clear.

Attraction sparks. Secrets simmer. And the more time they spend trapped together, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them.

But Sierra didn’t plan on company for Christmas—and Spenser didn’t plan on falling for a woman who treats him like an unwanted Christmas present.

Will love need a Christmas miracle?

And my good friend, Maryse Dawson, also has a new Christmas release.

Iron Creek, Wyoming, 1881

It’s the season of goodwill, and the Anderson family is getting ready to celebrate.

Nestled in the snow-blanketed heart of the American West, family means everything.

As winter tightens its grip and Christmas approaches, the Andersons prepare for a season filled with celebration, challenge, and change.

The four feisty women—Bonnie, Ellie Mae, Katie, and Carrie Anne, each with her own stubborn streak—have to navigate their way around their strong husbands—Luke, Adam, Hank, and Brodie. The rugged cowboys are protective, hard-working, and deeply in love with the spirited women who keep their lives interesting. But that sometimes means more than a little discipline is needed, especially when the girls put themselves in danger.

This Christmas, there’s a pie competition, and Carrie Anne is determined to win, but so is her rival, Alanna Sawyer. Who will win, and at what cost?

There’s also a new dance troupe at the saloon called The Kansas Girls, which creates its own problems. Rusty asks Katie and Ellie Mae to help him and the girls out, going behind Hank and Adam’s backs. When they find out, there’s hell to pay.

Add a blizzard, forcing the men to brave the storm in search of their wives after a misadventure and lessons learned. How can the women redeem themselves?

With a scandalous surprise!

When Christmas night arrives, the four women scheme together to give their husbands the best night of their lives.

The Anderson Ranch, with its glowing lamplight, roaring fires, and echoing laughter, shows the enduring power of family and the wild, beautiful unpredictability of life on the frontier.

This is Book V in The Anderson Brothers, but it can be read as a standalone.
