Book Description
When Lisa Riley comes home for her brother Mark's Christmas Eve wedding, her high school rivalry with his wife Janelle's cousin, Derek Walsh, picks up right where it left off, only this time Derek has the upper hand. Santa bides his time as they battle it out because he's waited a whole year for this mistletoe match-up. EXCERPT: The church door burst open with a flurry of twirling snowflakes. Derek Walsh halted on the bottom step of the entrance hall when a tall, slender figure hustled in, duffle bag slung over her shoulder and a wadded dress bag clutched in her arms. Frozen moisture clung to long black strands of windblown hair, catching the shine of the white lights adorning the church foyer this Christmas Eve. “Stupid snow,” she muttered, wrestling to close the door. The duffle bag slid from her shoulder and hit the ground with a thud. “White Christmases are way overrated.” Whistling wind competed with the organ music in the church. Derek crossed his arms and leaned a hip against the hand rail. Lisa Riley. The bane of his high school existence. She didn’t appear to have changed much in the past nine years; arriving only moments before the bride walked down the aisle. Still thinking only of herself. Still disorganized. Still late. With the door finally closed, she turned and slumped against the oak, heaving a huge sigh. One toss of her head flipped the wild locks back over her shoulder and gave him a clear view of her stubborn chin, full lips, high cheekbones and piercing gray eyes framed by a thick fan of midnight lashes. Still beautiful, damn her. She froze the instant she saw him watching. Her gaze darted around the empty entrance, paused on the closed doors at the top of the steps, and then returned to him. Her mouth thinned into a flat line. “Where is everyone?” “Already started. You’re late.” “I know.” Her chin lifted as if she prepared to debate him like old times. The strains of Collin Raye’s ballad The Gift filtered between the hinges of the doors. Lisa grabbed the duffle bag from the floor and moved away from the doors toward the steps he stood on. “I just need five min—” Derek stepped sideways to block her path. “That’s Janelle’s cue. This is low, even for you.” ~~~ To everything there is a season... Love finds a way during the four seasons in the Romancing Wisconsin Series. Starting with Christmas/Winter, then moving on to the rest of the seasons, check out this bestselling, heartwarming series set in small town Wisconsin, where hope springs eternal for each happily ever after.

Book Description
MISTLETOE MAGIC: Major Mark Riley plays Court Jester to Janelle Walsh's Snow Queen at the Christmas Parade and is instantly captivated by the cute redhead whose grandpa just happens to be Santa. When Mark learns she's the tenant he evicted from his newly purchased property, it's going to take a little bit of Santa's mistletoe magic to save their romance. EXCERPT: She gave him a quick half-smile and sidestepped toward the wagon. “It was nice to meet you, Major. Thanks for doing such a great job as the jester.” “You’re welcome, and you can call me Mark, you know.” “Major’s safer.” The briefest flash of consternation in her expression told him she hadn’t meant to say that out loud. When her foot landed on the step so she could pull herself up into the driver’s seat, Mark caught her arm and turned her around. She grabbed hold of his shoulder to keep her balance on the narrow step. “If I don’t do this, it’s going to drive me crazy until I see you again,” he told her in a low voice. Her throat muscles worked in a hard swallow. “Do what?” A downward flick of her gaze said she knew the answer to her own question. He let his mouth relax in a slow, confidant smile. One step closer brought him close enough to brace a hand against the wagon on either side of her. “I gotta tell you, pretty as you were as the Snow Queen, elf suits you better—although I do miss those cute, pointy little ears.” She rolled her eyes. “Oh, please.” He took a moment to let his gaze roam over her face. Snow drifted down silently and their breath mingled in the frigid air. Mark drew out the anticipation of what was to come, enjoying the awareness that warmed the space between them. “You look like Christmas,” he murmured. One corner of her mouth twitched. “I’m guessing it’s the costume.” He shook his head and reached up to twirl a red curl around his finger, watching the silky length wind against his skin before holding her gaze with his. “Red and green, and all wrapped up like a delicious, cinnamon scented present.” She laughed softly. Mark closed the remaining few inches, pressing the length of his body to hers. “In fact, I think I need to go find Santa and tell him I’ve been a real good boy this year.” He spoke the last words a hairsbreadth away from her lips. ~~~ To everything there is a season...

Book Description
When Michelle Collins accidentally walks into the men's restroom at a holiday party, she doesn't expect it to end with a toe-tingling kiss under the mistletoe. But the magic of the moment quickly dies when she realizes the mystery man is Austin O'Neal, the new marketing director of the pharmaceutical company she's sworn to destroy. Michelle will do anything to protect animals from unfair lab testing-even go up against the first man to make her feel alive. With the ink on his divorce papers barely dry, Austin is struggling to help his three children adjust to a new town as he tries to adjust to a new job-one that comes with a lot of baggage that Michelle helped create. Falling for the strong-willed animal rights activist who is ruining the company image is definitely not in the plans. When Michelle's dog is hit by a car and Austin is the unexpected hero, their perceptions of each other-and the causes they fight for-are challenged. Can one impulsive kiss be the foundation for a happily ever after?

Book Description
Going near mistletoe with a charming earl is dangerous...and so is falling in love with him. Deemed a spinster, Olivia Lockwood has found a new purpose in life: to help her cousin Esther shine. A companion, a friend, and a chaperone, Olivia takes great care to help Esther navigate the often treacherous roads of society, and to see past the false charms of the earl, Lord Whitfield, who is bent on securing Esther's hand-and dowry-in marriage. Olivia knows the heartbreak that flirtatious men can cause, so when Esther's parents force her to attend the Christmas masquerade ball knowing Lord Whitfield will be in attendance, Olivia will stop at nothing to keep him away from her cousin...even if it means she must impersonate her. Andrew Dawson, the Earl of Whitfield, cannot back down from a challenge, nor can he bear to disappoint his family. When his friend dares him to steal a kiss under the mistletoe, he sees no better choice than the woman his parents intend for him, Miss Esther Lockwood. His attempt, however, is greeted by a most unwilling miss, one with more pluck than he remembered seeing in Esther. Intrigued and hopeful, he chooses to spend the holidays at his country estate where he will have the chance to discover more about the woman he plans to marry. But when he finds himself drawn to her fiery cousin instead, he questions his ability to meet his family's expectations. As Olivia continues to hide her identity and heart, Lord Whitfield hides his true feelings.

EXCERPT:She ignored Derek and smiled at Mark and Janelle. "I would love to help.""Great!" Janelle exclaimed. She looked from Lisa, to Derek, and back. "Hey, wouldn't it be fun if you two had a little contest to see who could raise the most money? Just like old times."Derek's hands clenched at his side. Great. Just great, Janelle. He waited for Lisa to gleefully pounce at the opportunity to bury him again, only to be surprised by her dismayed expression."I don't know if that's such a good idea," she said.He should be relieved. Instead, his competitive demon demanded retribution for all the humiliation it'd endured during the old times. He'd bury her. "Why not?" he asked.Her gaze remained locked on his cousin. "No offense, Janelle, but it seems a little silly. I mean, we're not in high school anymore."Derek relaxed and fell into their old pattern with ease. "What's the matter, Lisa, afraid you've lost your magic touch? Are you not up for the challenge?"That got her. Her spine stiffened and fire gleamed in her eyes. "Of course I am."He fake frowned, nodded his head with understanding, and stage whispered, "I get it.""Get what?"Derek glanced at their captive audience. "Nothing."She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him. He valiantly avoided staring at her increased cleavage. It wasn't so hard with his grandparents and her brother watching. And her silent demand for an answer."I probably shouldn't say it now. Not in front of everyone."Lisa's eyes narrowed. "Please, do enlighten us--all of us." Her condescending sarcasm stroked the blood-thirsty devil on his shoulder. Their audience of respective family members waited in expectation. Grandpa, in particular, appeared to enjoy the exchange immensely. This next part would almost make high school worth it.Derek shrugged. "Obviously, it's me.""You?" She infused the single word with an appropriate amount of humorous disbelief and disdain, only she avoided looking him in the eye."You're scared you can't handle me all grown up."The outrageous statement produced the desired laughs--only Lisa's sounded forced. Her right hand rose to flick her hair back over her shoulder, then smoothed down the length of her burgundy satin dress. Hmm. He hadn't dreamed his intentional bait would be remotely close to the truth. Derek moved in for the kill. "That's why you chickened out under the mistletoe."The words 'bite me' resounded in his head as she glared at him and took a breath to speak. He waggled his finger in the air between them. "Uh, uh. Careful."Lisa stepped forward and grabbed his hand. He fought to keep his expression impassive while she bent his finger back just enough to make her point. She leaned close, her breath hot on his lips as she ground out, "You're on, buddy. I'm going to kick your butt so bad you'll wish I'd never moved back."Too late for that.~~~To everything there is a season...Love finds a way during the four seasons in the Romancing Wisconsin Series.
