Book excerpt: Don't wait until Christmas, Pemberley Mistletoe is a story for readers of all ages at all times of the year. Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy had enjoyed a fortnight of being totally irresponsible with regards to anything other than matters of the heart, but the honeymoon is over, and Christmas is sneaking up on them. With the assistant of Mrs. Reynolds, Elizabeth decorates the manor and plans for an intimate holiday party of six, but little does she know how upside down those plans will turn when the party ends up with an additional thirteen uninvited guests. Will Elizabeth Darcy be able to blend the Darcy and Bennet traditions into a holiday that both she and Fitzwilliam can enjoy, and can she do it while so many women are in attendance waiting for her to mess up? "As an only child I often dreamed of a Christmas with lots of family around. Ayr Bray delivers a story that perfectly satisfies those desires. Pemberley Mistletoe provides all the joy, pleasure, chaos, and angst that one would expect from a holiday party of nineteen." "A continuing story formed with all the characters we loved and despised from Pride and Prejudice, you will not be disappointed." "Christmas generally means presents, family, love in colors of red and green, kisses under the mistletoe, and drama; because what is family without some drama? Everyone is sure to love Ayr Bray's latest novel when Pemberley is overrun with family just weeks after Darcy and Elizabeth marry." "I really loved reading about Lizzy and Darcy's first Christmas together. Pemberley Mistletoe is a novel packed with not only drama and angst, but a tender love story. Pemberley Mistletoe is not as spicy as Ayr Bray's other stories, but I loved it all the more."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe from New York Times bestselling author, Melissa de la Cruz, is a sweet, sexy and hilarious gender-swapping, genre-satisfying re-telling, set in contemporary America and featuring one snooty Miss Darcy. Darcy Fitzwilliam is 29, beautiful, successful, and brilliant. She dates hedge funders and basketball stars and is never without her three cellphones—one for work, one for play, and one to throw at her assistant (just kidding). Darcy’s never fallen in love, never has time for anyone else’s drama, and never goes home for Christmas if she can help it. But when her mother falls ill, she comes home to Pemberley, Ohio, to spend the season with her family. Her parents throw their annual Christmas bash, where she meets one Luke Bennet, the smart, sardonic slacker son of their neighbor. Luke is 32-years-old and has never left home. He’s a carpenter and makes beautiful furniture, and is content with his simple life. He comes from a family of five brothers, each one less ambitious than the other. When Darcy and Luke fall into bed after too many eggnogs, Darcy thinks it’s just another one night stand. But why can’t she stop thinking of Luke? What is it about him? And can she fall in love, or will her pride and his prejudice against big-city girls stand in their way?
