What the kids want for Christmas:

The teenagers at the Santiago Center in Brooklyn want their shelter to stay open.

Jack Riley, ace reporter and big-hearted Texan, volunteers at the center. His boss, Madeleine Langston, can grant the kids' wish—and he can grant hers, fairy-tale style. All it's going to take is some faith, hope and a well-fitted tux!

In the stitching of each bit of fabric, Linda discovers that the memories of a shared journey can come together in a way that will keep them both warm in the years to come.

First Time in Forever – Sarah Morgan

And that’s before charismatic local yacht club owner Ryan Cooper kisses her! Can the island work its magic and get Emily to take the biggest leap of trust of all – putting her heart in someone else’s hands?

But Juliana Romanov is no ordinary thief – she is a Russian princess forced into hiding by the traitorous cabal who slaughtered her family. One day she hopes to return to Muscovy to seek vengeance.

What begins as a mockery of a marriage ultimately blossoms into deepest love.
