Merrily Ever After by Jenny Holiday So far, newlywed life for Elise Maxwell and Jay Smith has been filled with laughter and lots of steamy marital “bliss.” But when Elise discovers she's accidentally, against-all-odds pregnant, happily-ever-after screeches to a halt. She knows Jay never wanted to be a father. But with a little holiday magic, Jay might be able to prove to Elise that—as a family—they're destined to live merrily ever after. Let It Snowby Jeanette Grey ‘Tis the night before Christmas Eve, and Holly wishes she hadn't volunteered to work the night shift at her college bookstore. But her holiday spirit returns when the sexy new assistant manager Sam arrives to keep her company. When they're trapped by a full-blown blizzard, the two are soon trading heated kisses—as well as secrets neither has ever felt safe enough to tell before. What started out as one naughty night together turns into something so much more. All He Wants for Christmas by Elle Wright Morgan Smith is more than ready to settle down with the love of his life after fighting hard to win Sydney Williams. Now his bride wants a Christmas wedding, and he's not going to disappoint her. Nothing will stop him from meeting her at the end of that aisle—until one night changes everything.

Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas by Sara Richardson After his mom falls ill, bullfighter Tucker McGrath is determined to redeem himself from the Ghosts of Christmas Failures Past. First on his list is taking her place as director of the town’s annual Christmas pageant. But while Tucker can handle any animal, he has no experience wrangling children. And more complications arise when music teacher Kenna Hart volunteers for the pageant with her two young sons. Kenna is wary of Tucker’s Mr. Strings Attached reputation, but the more time they spend together, the more she realizes he’s changed. Can Tucker convince Kenna that he’s the cowboy who can make all of her Christmas wishes come true?

Book Description
Christmas is not everybody’s favorite holiday. Historically, Jews in America, whether participating in or refraining from recognizing Christmas, have devised a multitude of unique strategies to respond to the holiday season. Their response is a mixed one: do we participate, try to ignore the holiday entirely, or create our own traditions and make the season an enjoyable time? This book, the first on the subject of Jews and Christmas in the United States, portrays how Jews are shaping the public and private character of Christmas by transforming December into a joyous holiday season belonging to all Americans. Creative and innovative in approaching the holiday season, these responses range from composing America’s most beloved Christmas songs, transforming Hanukkah into the Jewish Christmas, creating a national Jewish tradition of patronizing Chinese restaurants and comedy shows on Christmas Eve, volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens on Christmas Day, dressing up as Santa Claus to spread good cheer, campaigning to institute Hanukkah postal stamps, and blending holiday traditions into an interfaith hybrid celebration called “Chrismukkah” or creating a secularized holiday such as Festivus. Through these venerated traditions and alternative Christmastime rituals, Jews publicly assert and proudly proclaim their Jewish and American identities to fashion a universally shared message of joy and hope for the holiday season.

Season Of Cheer For the first time in years, Christmas brings hope to Bygones, Kansas. But for Josh Barton, Main Street's coffee shop owner, it brings back sad memories he'd rather forget. He's a new man, with a new life and faith now. Still, he hides a huge part of himself from his neighbors--and from one very inquisitive reporter. Whitney Leigh seems determined to uncover the mystery of the town's recent windfall, and Josh could help her. But that would mean opening up his guarded heart. Can a man who thought family and Christmas were only for others find a forever home where he least expects? The Heart of Main Street: They're rebuilding the town one step--and heart--at a time.
