Newcomer Maggie Iverson comes to the small resort town of Snowfall, Vermont, for a one-week reprieve from her high-powered marketing job in Boston. She's designing a new website to boost tourism traffic (both virtual and foot) to Snowfall for the holidays. She enthusiastically throws herself into all things Christmas, but deftly dodges each match-making hint. Long-time bachelor and veterinarian Alden Marshall has never embraced the holiday season, but when he meets Maggie, their chemistry is powerful enough to light up a dozen Christmas trees. Suddenly he finds himself immersed in the town’s merry-making with Maggie by his side. Will the magic of Christmas cast the spell Maggie and Alden need to let go of their pasts and finally find a love that lasts?

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray spins a beautiful holiday tale of finding love in unexpected places. Twenty-year old Ruth Stutzman is a wonderful caregiver—but she has no experience with kinner. Laid off from her job at a retirement home due to budget cuts, she’s relieved to find work—even if it means temporarily watching widower Martin Rodes’ brood of six! Martin has done the best he can since his wife’s passing, but he and the children need help. Their house, once full of laughter and light, has been darkened by sadness. Soon after Ruth arrives, the children are drawn to her warmth and gentleness, and so is Martin, even though he feels it’s wrong. But the harder he tries to ignore her, the deeper he begins to care for this attractive young woman who has brought joy back into his children’s lives . . . and his own. Each passing day brings the Rodes closer to Ruth . . . and closer to Christmas, when she will have to say goodbye. Ruth, too, cannot deny the bond she feels with the children—and with Martin. When her old job becomes available again, Ruth finds herself torn. How can she stay with the Rodes? Yet how can she go?

Book excerpt: A blizzard. A Christmas rescue. A man with the heart of an angel.HaydenHayden knows it was stupid to think he could walk home from the office and beat the blizzard. So what if he worked out all the time until he was big and strong. So what if he hated to ever ask for help. Loners who think they can do everything themselves are just as vulnerable as anyone. His only consolation is if he dies there will be very few people who will miss him.MatthewThe half-frozen man falling through the door to Matthew's coffee shop is more than alarming, but it's a good thing he'd forgotten to lock that front entrance or the beautiful guy covered in snow might have died in the cold.The man is gorgeous, soft-spoken, helpful, maybe even a bit old-fashioned in his manners. Just the type Matthew always wished for but never met. Sharing a fire and a snowed-in night with him will be no hardship.When the storm lasts more than a day, attraction blooms. But when it is over, will Hayden and Matthew's feelings fade? Or will holiday charm and a heart-warming miracle draw them together again?Rescue, forced proximity, overwhelming attraction, blizzards, and a heart-warming Christmas miracle.Although this book is part of A Snow Globe Christmas series, it is a complete stand alone and it isn't a requirement that you read the previous books to follow along. We wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Book excerpt: Two warm-hearted, classic romances to take the chill out of your winter, from a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. The St. James Affair Elaine St. James has it all—a thriving career as an elite Manhattan publicist, A-list best friends and a gorgeous, high-profile boyfriend her parents adore. But when Byron breaks up with her on Christmas Eve, Elaine is faced with the prospect of spending the holidays alone . . . until the man she loved long ago reappears, much like a ghost from Christmas past. Tony Fiore was everything her Upper East Side parents wanted Elaine to avoid—the Italian-American boy from Brooklyn was hardly an ideal match for their perfect socialite daughter. Despite their differences, they always found themselves together on Christmas Eve, ice-skating at Rockefeller Center. Until the year Tony failed to show up and broke Elaine’s heart. Now, seven years later, on another Christmas Eve, they might finally have a second chance at first love . . . Candlelight Christmas A single father who yearns to be a family man, Logan O’Donnell is determined to create the perfect Christmas for his son, Charlie. The entire O’Donnell clan arrives to spend the holidays in Avalon, a postcard-pretty town on the shores of Willow Lake, a place for the family to reconnect and rediscover the special gifts of the season. One of the guests is a newcomer to Willow Lake—Darcy Fitzgerald. Sharp-witted, independent and intent on guarding her heart, she’s the last person Logan can see himself falling for. And Darcy is convinced that a relationship is the last thing she needs this Christmas. Yet between the snowy silence of the winter woods and the toasty moments by a crackling fire, their two lonely hearts collide. The magic of the season brings them each a gift neither ever expected—a love to last a lifetime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He just lost his arm. She just found her backbone. Being stranded in a snowstorm may just help them both find love. Battle scarred and bone-weary, the prodigal Lord Redford finally journeys home after losing a lot more than his optimism while fighting Napoleon. Trudging through the snow he never expects to find an educated miss (digging a grave!) in the freezing night. Though still grappling with the loss of his arm, he offers assistance, more intrigued by the stubborn woman than he should be–given how, along with the unexpected title, he also inherited his brother’s intended. Lady Anne Larchmont is tired of waiting, of watching life pass her by. After months anticipating a visit from her unmet betrothed, she’s quite ready to abandon the lout and the idea of marriage altogether. But then a wounded soldier crosses her path at the most unexpected moment. Arguing over the business end of a shovel, they take refuge from the storm and find that sparks and kisses warm their frigid selves as much as unexpected laughter. But he’s engaged, and she’s decided to never marry, so in the morning they go their separate ways, leaving pieces of their hearts behind… When Lord Redford finally returns home, he’s greeted not with the small welcome party he expected, but with a house full of people ready to celebrate his engagement. Which is going to prove rather a challenge, given how he’s never met his betrothed… Or has he? With a guaranteed HEA, A Snowlit Christmas Kiss is a sweet and spicy extended novella of 40,000 words (with hot kisses and just a bit more) perfect for readers who enjoy Historical Romance spiced with a bit of Regency slang. If you like feel-good stories full of wit and wordplay, Larissa Lyons’ heartfelt holiday Christmas Kisses are what you want in your stocking—and ereader!

Get swept away by a Christmas story from Hallmark and bestselling author Teri Wilson— the queen of royal romance! “I’m Prince Nikolas of San Glacera. Oh, you’ve never heard of us? Well, you’re not the only one. Our country relies on winter tourism, but we’re attracting fewer and fewer visitors. I admit it’s a problem. I just don’t think the solution is an American who likes to play dress-up. You see, while I was away on a trip, my younger sister convinced the palace to hold a contest. The winner gets to star in our annual Ice Village festivities and accompany our royal family to holiday events. And who did they choose? Gracie Clark, who runs a children’s party business and performs as—I kid you not—‘Princess Snowflake.’ Of course, I do respect the fact that she volunteers at children’s hospitals. I suppose to some, she might have a certain charm... But the whole cheap spectacle is beneath our dignity. I’m not going to shirk my duty to my kingdom. I’ll go to every event with her. At least, once Christmas is over, she’ll be gone…”

The twinkling lights that adorn our homes, the joyful carols that fill the air, the delectable aroma of gingerbread swirling through the kitchen - these are just a few threads woven into the rich tapestry of Christmas. But have you ever wondered how this beloved holiday, celebrated across the globe with such diverse traditions, came to be? Brace yourself, dear reader, for we're about to embark on a fascinating journey through time, unraveling the history and origins of Christmas, a tale far older and more intricate than many might imagine. Our story begins not in the manger in Bethlehem, but under the winter solstice skies of ancient Europe. Long before the birth of Christianity, pagan cultures held festivals to celebrate the return of longer days and the promise of spring's warmth after the harsh grip of winter. The Norse, for instance, feasted during Yule, a twelve-day celebration marked by fire, feasting, and the sacrifice of animals. The Celts, too, revered the winter solstice, honoring their gods and gathering around bonfires to banish the darkness. These ancient winter celebrations laid the groundwork for the Christian traditions that would later emerge. By the 4th century AD, Christianity had become the official religion of the Roman Empire, and the celebration of Christ's birth began to gain momentum. However, the date of December 25th wasn't chosen arbitrarily. It coincided with the Roman festival of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, the birthday of the Unconquered Sun, a potent symbol of hope and new beginnings in the darkest days of winter. By adopting this date, early Christians could subtly blend their beliefs with existing pagan traditions, making the transition more natural for non-believers.
