Second Chance Under The Mistletoe - Kandy Shepherd

The Grayson family’s Christmas is destined to be very cold indeed. Parents John and Natalie are estranged — and living on different continents — while daughter Clem has just found out that she’s pregnant, with no dad on the scene! But with a sprinkle of Christmas magic, everything is about to change...

Curl up by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate, and get swept away by this gorgeous wintry duet!

Christmas Surprise For Her Boss - Scarlet Wilson

Italian banker Leo is stunned to hear his gorgeous new employee Clem is pregnant with her former boyfriend's child...and to find himself offering his support! Leo isn't sure what he's doing - what does he know about babies? - but he's certain that he and Clem have an instant connection, one he's not ready to let go of. With a huge responsibility looming, will he be able to overcome his fears and claim his fully formed family in time for Christmas?

The Tycoon’s Festive Houseguest - Karin Baine

Tycoon Gabe doesn’t do Christmas — it only gifts him painful memories. But Gabe’s brooding is interrupted when he stumbles upon his employee, Aurelia, taking refuge in his department store! Not totally immune to the festive spirit, as her boss he feels compelled to offer newly evicted Aurelia a safe place to stay. Yet, he’s entirely unprepared for her sunny personality to warm his sprawling home...or for their lonely souls to find solace in each other. Gabe soon wishes she could stay. If only she wasn’t out of bounds...
