As they wait for her memory to return, Nash welcomes her to his home and town as everyone prepares to celebrate Christmas. Romance begins to blossom between the couple. But is anyone looking for this mysterious woman? Does she have someone waiting for her back home? And what brought her here to begin with?

His Little Vixen

by Lulu Waters

She heads home for Thanksgiving expecting the usual—turkey, family drama, maybe a nap on the couch. What she doesn’t expect? Braxton. Her dad’s best friend. Divorced. Smoldering. And absolutely off-limits... or so she thought. She’s crushed on him for years, but now she’s not just looking—she’s taking. Sparks fly, rules break, and their secret? Too hot to hide. She’s got one goal this holiday season: turn a lifelong fantasy into a very real, very delicious reality. No more waiting. No more pretending. It’s time to go after what she wants—and she’s not taking no for an answer.

They quickly find that there are complications to their charade. Levi’s family is pressuring him to stay permanently, and he knows he shouldn’t get involved with Milly anyway. But there’s an attraction there.

Something About You

by J. Nathan

Kason

I’m what you call a god, a superstar, a winner.

I’m good at everything I do and

I know exactly how to get what I want.

Being a professional snowboarder is my purpose in life.

I’m only at Cranmore University to appease my parents.

But, if I want to graduate, I need to pass physics.

And, since failing is not an option,

Blackmailing a nerd who hates me is my last resort.

Shay

I’m what some call a geek, a nerd, a loser.

And I don’t care.

I know who I am.

I know where I come from.

And I know exactly where I’m going.

That’s why I’m at Cranmore University.

To get my degree and begin my life.

But that plan gets quickly derailed

Thanks to an unbecoming video

A blackmailing snowboarder

And his ex who’s hell bent on making my life miserable.

They say everyone comes into your life for a reason.

What happens when that person is the opposite of what you want

but exactly what you need?

Boxing Day

by Jen Cooper

“Spread your legs, Millie.”

I couldn’t believe I was in the boxing ring with the head coach of my dad's gym. Leo was over a decade older and completely off-limits.

And he was training me in secret.

When I entered the Boxing Day tournament to save my bakery, my whole family bet against me. If my dad found out Leo was coaching me to win, he’d fire Leo and disown me forever.

Imagine what he’d do if he knew what else was going on between us.

Leo kicked my feet apart and gave me a smirk I knew was going to cause trouble. “Good girl.”

But I was starting to think a little trouble was worth it.
