CHRISTMAS JONES
A Sweet Holiday Fantasy Romance
By Linda Mooney
$3.99 e

Jones is hard at work at the factory when she gets the call every worker wishes for this time of year from The Boss. She’s chosen as one of the lucky twelve, bestowed with the honor of being a Bearer of Christmas Wishes. There are rules, of course, but it’s fairly simple. Pass out candy canes to people in your assigned area to spread some Christmas magic, then you can go back home.

If only it were that simple.

Jones lands in a big city in freezing weather, and a snowstorm is blowing in. She’s alone in a new world, but thanks to the kindness of a stranger, she’s able to find food and shelter.

Barrett doesn’t have much himself, being a homeless vet who’s fallen on hard times, but he’s willing to help however he can. Jones seems to be lost, more than a little naïve, and maybe a bit crazy, but he’s the last one to judge. He feels protective of her, and he could use some of that Christmas magic himself. 

Feelings are new to Jones, especially one in particular. And when she thinks she may lose Barrett for good, she must do what it takes to save him as he saved her.

Turns out, love may be the greatest magic of all.

Warning! Contains a broken candy cane, real cold and hunger, five rules, an aversion to peppermint, legal tender, a striped bowl, and one man finding Christmas magic with a woman who only has one name.

Not every letter Santa gets is a wish list for toys…

Babs has been adjusting well to life at the North Pole these past couple years. She loves the missions she and her husband Dominik go on to save the children, to where she doesn’t really miss her old life at all. Although elfin magic has taken some getting used to, it does make things a lot more, shall we say, convenient? Especially when hard cases turn up, and they have to rely on help from their friends at Santa Central.

This year, however, they may have found their toughest case yet. When Santa receives a letter about a child who’s been kidnapped by his mother, Dom and Babs investigate further, and they soon learn there’s a problem going on involving more than just one missing child. Dom always said he wouldn’t kill anyone, but this case may call for more violent measures. 

They soon realize it will take more than a sledgehammer and a baseball bat to bust up a drug ring that may be trafficking more than dope. 

Warning! Contains an Oscar-worthy performance, jingle bell surveillance, a beer, abductions, an upgrade on the weapons front, the best defense is a good offense, and a major wish fulfilled.

Note: Although this is a sweet romance, it does contain profanity and scenes of violence.

Tuffy Claus and Babs are back, and despite Dominik’s protests, his wife is coming along for the ride. Being previously in law enforcement, she won’t be playing the obedient housewife while waiting for him to get home. No, she’ll be out chasing the bad guys as well. But can she handle the heart-wrenching jobs she’ll have to take on?

Their newest case tests Babs to her limits, making her wonder if she’s really cut out for this. Short answer? Yes. When it comes to the children, she’ll do whatever it takes. But when things quickly take a turn for the worst, leaving Babs on her own, she realizes how important her job really is.

It’s then that a thought hits her, and Dominik and Kris realize there could be a whole group of kids that are being overlooked—those who can’t write a letter to Santa. Those who can’t ask for help. And they wonder how many children have suffered through the centuries because of their oversight?

The Kringles know they can’t possibly save them all, but they’re gonna damn sure try. 

Warning! Contains peppermint schnapps; jingle bell communications; a baseball bat; powdered donuts; bullets; gut instincts; and a warm, contented, and loving Christmas Day.

Once upon a time, there lived a man with five rambunctious daughters. They were an average American farming family except for one minor detail. The man was a warlock, and all of his daughters were witchlets—half witch and half human.

Rast Clemmons is the most arrogant, opinionated, and snobbish son of a bitch Penderly Blakeney has ever met. The fact that he is also her new boss only makes matters worse.  

With Easter and her birthday just around the corner, Penderly knows beyond a doubt that her heart's call works at the seafood plant.  It's only a matter of time before she discovers who he is, and they seal their future together with the sex hex test. 

But first she has to get rid of Rast Clemmons, who is quickly becoming a major pain in the ass.  Regardless of the outcome, that man has screwed up her life for the last time, and now she's ready to call for magical reinforcements.
