About this listen
When I take on a night guard position for brooding billionaire Huck Frost, I expect long hours, not long stares. And I certainly didn't expect to fall in bed with him.
When my new employer moves to an inn an hour away, I’m assigned a 24-hour detail. As a single mom living paycheck-to-paycheck, I can’t refuse.
There’s just one catch: it’s over Christmas—my favorite time of year.
Now I’m snowed in with a man who lives his life as frozen as the winter outside. Yet in this magical wonderland, his walls start to melt, and the spark between us ignites into something I never saw coming.
One night by the fire changes everything. His piercing blue eyes and chiseled jaw make it impossible to keep things professional. And when he pulls me close, my resolve—and my clothes—vanish in the heat.
But as the lights fade and the last ornament is packed away, one fear lingers: when the holiday ends, whatever we’ve created might be packed away with it—never to be unwrapped again.

Story
Snowed in with my infuriatingly hot coworker… and everything I’ve worked for is about to implode. Thorne Chilton is the last person I want to be stuck with days before Christmas. Arrogant, entitled, and way too tempting. But we're stranded in a blizzard, and the tension between us is sharper than the freezing wind outside. What started as an airport nightmare turned into the road trip from hell. My brain must have frostbite, because I hate him… but my body melts at his slightest touch. Before I can stop myself, I’m leaning in, craving more. Every touch, every glance weakens my ...

Story
Trapped by a blizzard days before Christmas—with my ex and a secret that could bury us both. Five years ago, I walked away from Rives, convinced we were better apart. Now, we’re stranded in a tiny Winter Wonderland, and there’s no walking away this time. She’s still the same firecracker—wild, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore. And as much as I try to keep my distance, the storm outside is nothing compared to the one brewing between us. I’m not the man I was, and she’s not the woman I left behind. Being stuck together in a cozy lodge over Christmas is stirring up more ...

Story
She was my everything…until she betrayed me with my own flesh and blood. I'm the most ruthless Mafia Don in Sin City. No one crosses me, especially not the woman I loved—the one who shattered my heart and fled with another man's baby. Years of bitterness hardened me. I built an empire on vengeance, fueled by the memory of her betrayal. Fate intervened, thrusting us back into each other's lives. Now, my daughter—the child I never knew existed—is dying. And the only way to save her is a liver transplant—from a donor found in my own twisted family. My half brother, a snake who trades...

No more men. Gone is the boyfriend who cheated on me with my best friend. Gone are all the disastrous relationships that have left me dispirited and jaded. I’m tired of giving my fragile heart to a man, only to have him trample all over it. Instead, I’m going to concentrate on my career, which I love.

Story
There's nothing like being blackmailed by a dead man to really bring a group of cons together. And what a group we are: a hacker, a thief, a con artist, a thug, and a Federal agent with an ax to grind. The deal is simple: We do the jobs, and Charlie's lawyer wipes the slate clean for each of us, one at a time. Since job number one calls for some muscle, it looks like I'm up first.

I can't say my parents never warned me about vampires. I just never believed them. Not - that is - until six months ago when vampires broke into my home and killed my family. Thanks to all the skills my parents taught me, I managed to escape but I couldn't save them. Two vampires down and the rest of the world to go. My bid for revenge is going to have to wait, though, because until I turn 18, I'm being placed in the loving care of Elizabeth and Jonathan McKnight - godparents I didn't even know existed.
