The ex-military pilot. The bewitched single mother. The plane crash that saves their lives.Getting pregnant by the wrong man and trying to make it right didn''t serve me well.

With two women on my case, one I can't stand, the other I can't stand to be without, let's just say that I learned a hard lesson. But, as if that isn't enough, foolishly, while I think I can salvage my reputation with my brothers, a threatening document arrives at my doorstep, begging for more blood, dragging all ten of us in for one last hoorah.

A fake name. A sudden fake life. A very real love. And an unmistakable miracle just in time for Christmas.I grab a beat on the drums for Wade, while we get ready to play at the best armpit dive in town called Mingles. It's where the Christmas beer runs green and the garland hanging over my drum kit is fastened with last year's tape. It's also where a new girl has started working, and from behind the glasses and bottles, she's not your average bar maid. No flirtation in the eyes, no attitude, no intimidation. Wade suggests steering clear of this girl named Stella, but something about her is like a goddamn magnet to me. Strange, when I call her name, she doesn't respond. When I secretly find out why, the answer would make most run…but, stupidly, I do the opposite.It's just Bean and I, in this new town, and in the worst part of it, too. After just a couple of nights at the house, and after meeting a few new friends at the bar, I'm abruptly moved…by Cooper, a man I hardly know. He's a man I'd love to share all my secrets with, but he's the only person who accepts that I can't. In the past, trusting has led to nothing good. The same nothing good that's left me in this predicament. The same nothing good that sits behind bars, and not the kind you drink at, either. It's also the same nothing good that gave me the one gift I'd never take back, aside from all the rest. Which is why the early Christmas gift that I receive is so conflicting. But do I get to enjoy my Christmas miracle, or will it all be taken away by nothing good again?Holiday romanceChristmas romanceSteamy romanceProtector romanceCinnamon roll heroRock star romanceCliffhanger ending

It turns out that India has a heart. Which is more than I can say for most. We've seen more than our share of heartache, the kids and I, and this woman has accomplished what none have to date. But the real miracle will come in days, when my twin boys celebrate a birthday, Christmas-style, and an innocent twist of fate turns deadly. Can this family survive yet another tragedy? Or will we finally get a Christmas miracle?***Sure, moonlighting can go either way. I can kill myself to gain back what I lost from my last failed relationship, or I can sink to the depths of financial crisis like all the rest of us during Christmas. But I love what I do and helping this family turns out to be something worth far more than my hourly wage. Luke pays me an insane amount of money to look after his house and his children, but I'm learning that it's Luke that also needs something. No, not that! Well, maybe…but I can't deny that he's the most caring, hard working, honest man I've ever met. And his eyes say it all. This man has hurt more than most, just like me, and as I pray that I can perform a Christmas miracle, just days before the big day, it soon becomes clear what I was put on this earth for. I'm just not sure if I'm on Santa's Naughty or Nice list, and this time, it matters.Holiday romanceChristmas romanceSteamy romanceCinnamon roll heroCliffhanger ending

He's sworn off women for the wrong reasons. She doesn't know that she's the right reason. As tinsel hangs from Christmas trees, Chad figures it out…but will it be before he hears his star patient flatline?No, don't even talk to me about it.

Especially when I'm playing double-time, dressing up as Santa Claus for the hospital, and for the Ford brothers. But when Ginger comes into the picture, showing up seemingly to meet with her nurse friend, India, there are moments when I wish that she was more than just a coworker's pal. When she witnesses me at a weak moment, she sees something in me that nobody else has seen before. And then I learn something about her that both freaks me out and makes me wonder why God hasn't brought her to me sooner…and I don't know how to deal with it.***I fly to Sweden with him, even though India tells me I'm crazy. But it's for business, as I keep telling myself. It's always been about business with me, and, evidently, with Chad, too. Until we do something akin to a movie scene about the mile high club, and all bets are off. Chad doesn't want me any more than I want him. We both have our careers to think about, and he has the added bonus of trying to save lives. But something has crossed over in both of us, and there's no turning back. Except when someone's heart is at stake…and this time Chad doesn't know how to fix it…because it's not something that can be fixed with surgery, since it's a matter of the heart…and it's his own heart, too.Holiday romanceChristmas romanceSteamy romanceMedical romanceCinnamon roll heroCliffhanger ending

It takes him longer than I guessed to figure it out. But, shocking me, he doesn't run. And I can't figure out why, until it's too late.***She's nothing to me. A bright, pretty girl, a dime a dozen, in fact. But the words come out of my mouth before I can stop them, and the next thing I know I'm sitting across from her, having lunch. Trudy tries to keep something from me, but it's difficult to, when she's got more eyes on her than I do. And what's more, she doesn't know it. But it's not pity that draws me to her. Trudy isn't delicate, and she refuses help, even when the most terrifying thing drops in her lap. The day the envelope arrives is when she caves, and that's when my family steps in. The scumwad hasn't got a prayer coming after her. And God help him if I get there first.
