Christmas in the City Series - 18+

 Gemma's a successful architect in London, but her personal life has been a mess since her engagement ended in a very public disaster. She throws herself into work until a chance meeting with an aloof and dominating billionaire at a Christmas party awakens a side of her she never knew she had, a side that wants to let someone else take control for a while.

Cole's got his own painful past relationship which is the reason all his bedroom encounters come with strictly defined terms, not to mention the reason that he hates Christmas. He's not looking for a change, but Gemma's unusual mix of confidence and submission leaves him wanting more.

The two strike a deal to satisfy their mutual attraction, but will their sparks in the bedroom give new warmth to the rest of their lives as well, or is their relationship destined to bloom only for the holidays, just like the mistletoe?

One year ago, Holly and Jackson met when their best friends Gemma and Cole got together. There was an instant spark between them, but they were looking for different things.

Now, Holly has come to New York for Gemma and Cole's wedding and to spend Christmas with the happy couple... and their best friend. It doesn't take long for Holly and Jackson to realize the electricity between them is still there, but the problem they had before hasn't gone away either. Holly thinks they should just have a good time, while Jackson's looking for a long time.

In the spirit of the season, they agree to a challenge. Jackson will try to win Holly's heart while she does her best to get him into bed. Whoever gives in first is the loser – though as the challenge heats up, it seems less about winning and more about enjoying the game. When Christmas morning dawns, who will come out on top?

Olivia Hanmer is a typically wholesome, all-American girl: an A student, a star athlete, a daddy's girl. Whenever she wants something, she goes after it and gets it, and this Christmas, she wants Noah Stamer. They've known each other since they were kids, but now she's all grown up and determined to prove it to him.

Noah Stamer has always led a charmed life, but there's more to him than meets the eye, especially when it comes to what turns him on. Someone as sweet and innocent as Olivia Hanmer could never understand those kinds of needs, so when he pushes her away, it's for her own good.

One year later, when they find themselves together again at Christmas time on the other side of the world, it's possible they'll turn out to have more in common than they ever imagined.

Noelle never seems to come first. In her family, she’s the second daughter. In her college classes, she’s in a battle for top spot with the annoyingly clever Aaron. Her best friend, Eve, is richer and prettier and she just managed to hook up with Corey, the guy Noelle has had a crush on for years.

Now, their whole group of friends is heading for a 10-day getaway in the Christmas town of Leavenworth, where Noelle will have to watch Corey and Eve together. To make matters worse, she’s stuck sitting next to Aaron, who happens to also be Corey's best friend, for the whole flight. One too many drinks over the Midwest and she ends up spilling the beans about her crush.

Just when she thinks she's blown it all, Aaron lets her in on a secret: he’s always wanted a shot with Eve. The relationship between Eve and Corey is just a fling, so maybe, by working together, they can find a way to break the new couple up and both get what they want. It might be a gamble, but anything worth having is worth playing dirty for.

 Eve spent the last eighteen months surrounded by poverty, far from her life of luxury as a billionaire heiress. Now, it’s time to go home, but first, she needs to handover her project to the charity’s director: the passionate and opinionated Julien. Sparks instantly fly, and when they realize they both have plans in Toronto before Christmas, they agree to meet up.

Julien has spent his life to helping those in need but his encounter with Eve has him focused on his own needs for once; his, and Eve’s. Unfortunately, his plans in the city directly conflict with Eve’s in a way that neither of them expected.

Can these opposites find common ground, or will this holiday romance end in a standoff? 

 What could be better than a Christmas wedding?

The extended Stamer/Hanmer family flies to Australia for Christmas to celebrate Eve and Julien’s big day. At the beach resort with its attached private club, old passions are indulged and new ones discovered as all five couples prepare to enter the next phase of their lives. Things aren't always easy, but with the right person at their side, they'll never have to face it alone.

When pleasure prevails, could this be the best Christmas ever?

This sweet and steamy story is the final chapter in the Christmas in the City series, and is recommended for readers over 18. There is discussion of infertilty, pregnancy and adoption. 

 Laina

I'm done with men who can't handle my job. I'm good at what I do, and I enjoy it, and if they have a problem with it, they can take that problem far away from me.

When Dorian moves in next door, I don't immediately recognize him. He's nothing like the shy, awkward boy I knew in high school, and at first, it seems like he'll be just like all the others. But when he asks for my help to spice up his new book, I agree to give him a chance if he helps me out too. Maybe it's a match made in porn heaven?

Romance is my comfort zone, but spicy romance? Not so much. Deep inside, I'm still the bullied kid who looked up to the cool girl in high school, hoping that one day, a girl like her would see something in me I barely saw in myself.

Now, I'm on set with that same woman, getting my eyes opened in more ways than one. She's always been out of my league, but when the cameras switch off, the real action begins.

 Men cheat.

Jennifer Bradshaw knows that for certain. In fact, she’s made a career out of proving it. Suspicious women hire her to loyalty test their partners, and when those men fail the test, as they usually do, she brings the receipts.

Exceptions are few and far between, but Gabriel Carter might just be one of them. Actually, he seems like a pretty good match for her... if he weren’t already in a relationship.

So, when cracks begin to show in that relationship, how far can Jen go to help her test subject without crossing the line?

Who’s cheating who?

 For years, Cara lost herself in her music. At the piano, she could forget about the death of her parents and the restrictions that keep her from getting close to anyone, but when it’s suddenly taken from her, she’s forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew. With the handsome street musician she met by chance encouraging her, Cara begins to look deeper into the world she’s always lived in and the people who lurk around its edges.

Kian has been working towards one goal for years: putting Marco Russo behind bars. Going undercover to get closer to Marco’s sister was supposed to be a means to an end, but the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to separate what’s happening between them from the job he’s there to do. If he brings Marco down, Cara’s world also crumbles, and that might just destroy him too.

How far can they go before they're in too deep?

Freya's determined not to fall for his charms, but their chemistry on and off stage is hard to resist, and soon, she begins to realize there's more to him than meets the eye.

Would giving in to a little showmance really be so bad?

 My life seems to have hit a dead end. My acting career is stalled, my love life is non-existent, and earlier today, I found out that the man I've had a crush on for the last six months already has a boyfriend. It seems like things can't get much worse when a passing car drenches me with water, leaving me soaking wet in front of the very man in question.

That's when he offers to take me to his apartment to get cleaned up and things take a turn I could have never imagined. When one door closes, another opens; that’s what people always say, but I never knew there was a door like this waiting for me, one that would lead to two different but equally amazing men who are in love with each other but might just have room in their lives for me too.

Stepping through this door isn’t for the faint-hearted. I have to discover how to trust them both with my heart, deal with the ignorance of people who don’t understand the love we share, and learn to believe in myself too. If I can be brave enough, everything I ever wanted might be waiting on the other side.
