His poison pen…Would soon be Cupid’s arrow!
Bea Fortune vows that she’ll be the most talked about restaurateur in Chatelaine. But when her opening night’s sabotaged and she’s skewered in the local paper, those dreams take a nightmarish turn. So after she’s unexpectedly thrust together with the affronted critic—Devin Street, the paper’s multifaceted owner—she expects another rebuff. But to her surprise, the charming single dad sweeps her off her feet…and into his bed. Now she’s having his baby! Devin’s committed to being a devoted dad…but it might be his good Fortune to have so much more.

Dreaming of a Bright Christmas by #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr
Mike Cavanaugh is a firefighter—he rescues people. Inviting them home isn’t usually part of the job description. But when he pulls Christine Palmer out of her burning house, something about the gutsy single mom makes him want to protect her, to make her life a little better. Only, somehow Chris and her family end up giving Mike’s life new meaning, and he is happier than he’s been in years. Chris wants to get back on her own two feet—sooner rather than later. When she no longer needs Mike’s support, will she be ready to risk her heart with him?

But when Philippa’s forced together with the celebrity cook on a project that could change her life, there’s no denying that the flames that were lit years ago were only banked, not extinguished…

Alexa met Raphael and…
One night changed everything.
Someone once told me that there are worse things than being left at the altar. Well, not many, in my experience. That was six months ago, though, and my life has moved on. Heck, I have a new job lined up and I’m leaving town.
But I can’t deny that my love life kind of sucks.
That’s why I let my friends convince me to join them for Club Escapade’s Breakup Bash. And we might just be disillusioned enough to actually enjoy it. Last time we were here, it was for my bachelorette party. That night, I met one of the dancers – Raphael – and when he flirted with me, I almost forgot I was engaged. And there’s a part of me that never forgot him.
Now, it seems my friends have wandered off and I’m thinking about calling it a night. Until the music begins and I see Raphael, my secret fantasy, on stage. And this time, I’m definitely not engaged…
