Book excerpt: How far would you go to make your Grandma happy at Christmas? I invented a fiance. It seemed safe enough – none of the other family members had brought their significant others along to family gatherings until they were married, and I was counting on that tradition to get away with my lie. So when Grandma insisted I bring him along, I freaked. I mean, wouldn’t you? Christmas was in less than two weeks, and I didn’t even have a boyfriend, let alone a fiance. How on earth was I supposed to find someone to fill that role two weeks before Christmas? When my bestie comes to the rescue, introducing me to her cousin Zane, I breathe a huge sigh of relief. Until the panic sets in at the realisation of exactly what this plan means. After all, not just any man will be accepted by my extended clan. All the men in my family believe in the same thing: obedient women; and they all use the same method to achieve their goal – no matter how outdated it seems. How is a pretend fiance going to get around that very important requirement? Will Zane be up to the task? Or am I going to have to swallow my pride and admit to my lie and break Grandma’s heart in the process?

Thirty-five-year-old Heath Sawyer has finally made it to the big-time as a country music star. After a year full of the kind of success he could only dream of, it’s December 23, and he’s headlining a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. It’s only as the lights on the stage go down and the Christmas lights outside come on that Heath realizes there’s just one place he wants to be for the holidays: back home in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. But journeying anywhere on Christmas Eve is never easy, and with flight delays, inclement weather, and the unexpected company of a feisty young woman who’s about to become his traveling companion, Heath will need a Christmas miracle to make his way home in time to open presents. Filled with touching anecdotes inspired by the real holiday memories of Blake Shelton and Dorothy Shackelford, Time for Me to Come Home is a sweet and funny story that celebrates the spirit of Christmas and the true meaning of finding your way back home. “It’s funny how going back can get you back to where you belong.

When Olivia gets knocked over in the street, however, Bea can't help bringing her into The Honey Pot and getting to know her.

Book excerpt: A boss/secretary, 'marriage of convenience', Cinderella romance Meg It's not easy to reinvent yourself, but my thirteen-year-old son and I are ready for a new start. Old Maggie was a magnet for disaster, but New Meg is going to be elegant, sophisticated... and blonde. I've landed a dream job at the other end of New Zealand as PA to three rich directors who spoil me rotten, I've found a beautiful new apartment, and I feel reborn. Then I write an email to a friend describing in vivid detail what I want to do to the sexiest of the directors-involving melted chocolate and/or whipped cream-and mistakenly send it to All Staff. It turns out that New Meg is pretty much just Old Maggie with different packaging. Some things never change. Stratton I've wanted Meg since she first walked into my office with her soft lips and sexy curves, but she wears another man's ring, so I've steered well clear... until now. My mind's been occupied anyway since I broke up with my ex, Natalie. She's desperate to have me back and won't take no for an answer-so I've come up with a brilliant plan, to hire a fake fianc�e for Christmas to prove to her that we're done. After sending her hot-as-hell email, Meg confesses the truth about her past, and it gives me an idea. She can pretend to be my fianc�e, and I can protect her from the guy she's running from. Sounds like the perfect plan, right? Her teenage son's no problem because we get on great. Sharing her room? That's more of a challenge, but I've always had excellent self-control. Yeah, I know. I keep forgetting about the melted chocolate. What an idiot.
