A FAKE DATE FOR KATE

Five days before Christmas, Kate Thompson boards a flight from LAX on her way to New York for her sister’s Christmas Eve engagement party. The only problem she’s minus a date and now a prime target for her mother and sister’s meddling ways. Not only will she be alone for all the couple activities her sister has planned, but Kate’s ex husband and his pregnant wife will be there. How could this nightmare ever be merry and bright?

Alex Messina was going to be alone for Christmas. Then Kate takes the last empty seat next to him. On the five-hour flight, her talk of an old-fashioned family Christmas, baking cookies, decorating, and shopping has him yearning for the kind of holiday celebrations from his childhood.

She needs a fake date, and he wants a family Christmas. What could go wrong?

THE CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Brandon Johnson can’t believe his good fortune landing a prominent movie role. And Christmas on location in Fiji with A-Lister Carlotta.

Emotionally unavailable, Carlotta always hated guys like Brandon Johnson. The devastatingly handsome TV actor irritated her with his sly remarks. His notorious reputation preceded him. Although his charm worked on others, it would not on her. Carlotta’s plan is to fly to Fiji, get through the shoot and hightail it out of paradise.

Brandon had no use for love until the sexy Italian film star ignited a fire in his soul. Now, he’s willing to give up his one-nighters for Carlotta. Can he convince the seductive beauty that they belong together?
