Welcome! I know you're busy with the Holiday rush and all the hopping you'll be doing so I won't keep you. One of my favorite things to do the week between Christmas and New Year's is to snuggle up with my Kindle and read as many books as I can over the break. I sit by the fire, light the tree and the mantle and get lost in some amazing romances.

I thought I'd share two of my romances that would be perfect for you to indulge in this season. I believe in love, lust and the happily ever after. All of my books consist of a strong sexy hero and a woman who knows how to challenge him in and out of the bedroom.

One weekend—no strings, no expectations, and no commitments. On Sunday afternoon it all ends, or does it?

No-nonsense businessman Spencer Cannon has a dilemma. He's headed to Connecticut for the weekend to attend his cousin's elaborate wedding. His whole family will be there in addition to his obsessed ex-girlfriend Ava. According to Spencer's brother, Ava has been telling her friends she's planning a magical reunion with her favorite ex-boyfriend. Spencer's not in the mood to deal with her, but he can't miss the wedding. He needs a plan.

Struggling Brooklyn waitress and aspiring graphic designer Dakota Vercelli has fallen on hard times. College debts, pending eviction, and her sick mother are taking a toll on her. A chance encounter with Mr. Cannon, CEO of Cannon and Carrington Advertising, leads to a proposition that may be just the thing to solve both of their problems. Spencer's offer—spend four days with him during the wedding festivities and keep his ex off his trail. In return, he'll compensate her generously for her time. He needs a weekend girlfriend, and Dakota needs the cash.

It was just supposed to be a business deal, but after sharing a room, kissing under the stars, and attending a wedding, their attraction is undeniable. Will the illusion end when the weekend is over or is the proposition just the beginning?

Content Warning: contains mature language and graphic sexual content


***

An affair and shocking secret threaten to tear apart a rich and powerful family.

Claudia Samson, housekeeper to the privileged Callahan family, finds herself in an unfortunate situation. Her brief fling with Gavin, the Callahans youngest son, results in a pregnancy. She ends up alone and afraid when Gavin denies her child.

Successful CEO Brody Callahan devotes his entire life to running Callahan Industries, his deceased father’s legacy. He’s also responsible for cleaning up his brother’s messes. Brody doesn’t realize what he’s been missing by throwing himself into his work until he finds Claudia asleep in the family guest bedroom. He has discovered his very own sleeping beauty.

Claudia is instantly attracted to the charismatic businessman but knows her secret will destroy any chance they have for a future together. Can Brody overlook the mistakes of his manipulative, younger brother and raise Claudia’s child as his own?

  14. Popped over from the Beachwalk Press post you had! Happy holidays, Elle :) I'm still in love with that cover art :) For me, holiday reading isn't really any different than non-holiday reading. I'm an oddball that doesn't really care what the date is. My parents used to have to drag me out of bed to do Christmas gifts. "We can do it later, noooo, let me sleep" :-P (email's in blogger profile, thank you for participating in this!)
