From the Scottish highlands, to the bustle and tussle of London, to a hotel on the outskirts of town, three unforgettable authors bring the joy of Christmas romance in Kissing Under the Mistletoe. Great Scot! by Suzanne Enoch Miss Jane Bansil knows she will never have a fairy-tale moment. Well past the marriageable age, she’s taken a position as a companion and is now stuck in Scotland for Christmas, alone even in the middle of the boisterous MacTaggert family. But when Brennan Andrews, an architect and cousin to the MacTaggerts, arrives to draw up plans for a new family home, Jane must decide if she will take a chance at a happily-ever-after, or settle into her small, safe life for good. Christmas at Dewberry Hollow by Amelia Grey Miss Isabelle Reed has no plans to ever fall in love. She has a perfectly acceptable life with her mother at the Dewberry Hollow Inn, thank you very much. But when Gate, the Duke of Notsgrave’s grandson, appears at Dewberry Hollow searching for a carving on a tree, Isabelle cannot help but get involved. But Gate’s charm and their instant attraction makes Isabelle question if she’s willing to take her chance at love once again. My Mistletoe Beau by Anna Bennett Miss Eva Tiding is determined to cheer her widowed father with the perfect Christmas gift. Even if it means breaking into the home of the rakish Earl of Frostbough who swindled Papa out of his pocket watch. But when the earl, Jack Hardwick, catches her in the act, they strike a deal: she’ll pose as his fiancée in exchange for the watch. Falling in love is not part of the plan—but with a little Christmas magic, anything is possible...

Book Description
Trev goes into his doctor’s office, comfortable for he is 15 years removed from the rock scene. He sits down and waits his turn along with many others because the waiting room is, of course, crowded. The Medical assistant comes to the door and announces who she wants next. "Sonny Glassburg" she says. Trev stands up and starts to walk toward her, reacting to one of his Alias names he used to go by back in the day. You know, Sonny, a good guy name and who in their right mind would be a Glassburg? And it’s an automatic thing now... But he is met with another, - turns out blue eyed beautiful gal. She gets up as he does- they end up meeting each other face to face, and time freezes. She saw him rise. She saw him move toward the med assistant when she called her name. Is this guy going to butt in front of me? She should be reacting- throwing a fit- she has been waiting, and he should have to wait his turn too----------- but she can't because she is suddenly so drawn into him. He starts to blush, having no intention of butting, realizing his mistake of an automatic reaction and not thinking. It just happened, and here stood before him was a woman. A woman sporting ---- a Roundabout shirt. The med assistant stands there patiently- seeing the chemical reaction between the two............. _______________________________________ The imagination- what a wonderful thing. Song Lyrics- HE wanted to give you an outline to start you off. However, I find as one gets older, your inner child starts to fade. So, I write, coloring in the outline and fill it with my words to help you find your imagination once again. And then, give that to you in these books. You get to spend time with that ONE who wrote the lyrics, if only in words, for the amount of time it takes you to read. Light romance, comedy, suspense where HE is your hero or YOU, his. I hope I am helpful.

Book Description
Why is Christmas the way it is? How did we get from the birth of Jesus to everyone pushing their credit card and their belts to their maximum extent? Starting with the events surrounding Jesus' birth, this book takes us through centuries of commemoration, celebration and over-consumption. Along the way we'll find out why we eat turkey, how an obscure Turkish saint turned into a man flying a sleigh, and why that tree in your house should really contain an apple and a snake. Combining in-depth historical research, cheerfully irreverent humour and cutting-edge guesswork, Nick Page explores what this festival really means, and how we can get back to something real and true beneath all that wrapping.
