Christmas Wishes and Holiday Kisses by Kelly McDonough

Eliza is an angel sent to earth to help a widowed father, his six-year-old daughter and terminally ill mother.  The assignment is to help this family, and she will be able to be reunited with her own parents in Heaven.  There is just one more thing…

 The Big Guy Upstairs makes it clear that romance is out of the question, and Eliza has no problem with that stipulation… that is until she meets Jason, Angel, and Vera.  As Eliza falls more in love with Jason and his family, she becomes torn as the time she has left dwindles, and the prospect of seeing her family again seems farther in the distance than it had before Jason.  What’s an angel in love to do?

FRANCINE ON FIRE by Sloan Taylor 

 

Francine Daniels doesn't trust men. Not since two husbands and a con artist ruined her life. After years of struggle, during which she took back control and soared to new heights, there is no place in her plans for a German hottie. Even if she does burst into flames at his touch.

 

Heicke Brewer already made one disastrous trip down the aisle, and never plans to go that route again. He prefers the parade of international beauties lined up outside his bedroom door to enjoy his satisfaction guaranteed reputation. Until he meets an American pixie too hot not to handle.

 

The Dryads' Tower by Judy Mays

For twenty long years, no druid has inhabited the tower in the dryad's valley, leaving them vulnerable to humans who'd cut down their trees.  Finally, though, a mage who can protect their sacred grove has arrived seeking the magical knowledge the tower contains.  

Navaar isn't a druid but they've waited long enough.  No children have been born to them in too long because a dryad's tree consort, after all, cannot sire her children.  A human male is needed for that.  The mage Navaar is perfect, for the night they captured and seduced him, three of the dryads became pregnant. 

Yes, Navaar is a worthy successor to the druid who left them so long ago.  But then Navaar rescues a druidess from a Blood mage who'd wanted the tower for himself. 

Dylana, daughter of the durid who'd last inhabited the tower and a dryad mother, has returned to the place of her birth; and she wants the tower for herself, and no man, even if he is a powerful -- and enticing -- sex mage, is going to keep her from claiming it.

Sebastien Reinard is incognito, hating every minute. To pose as a student while protecting a rich wild child is his version of hell, until he partners with the slice of Crème Brule good enough to eat.

 

Class takes on a whole new meaning as Doni and Sebastien heat up the kitchen when they discover honey has better uses than sweetening tea.
