Snowbound with the Santas by Sofia T Summers

Three smoking hot mountain Santas just caught me being very, very bad…
And punishments never felt so right.

Archer, Frankie, and Nick.
Three rugged men who rescued me from more than just a snowy wreck.
Each built like a fantasy, wearing those red suits that hide delicious secrets.

The ranger whose crooked smile promises wicked wilderness adventures.
The wellness guru who knows exactly how to make my body sing.

Their isolated cabin becomes my Christmas wonderland of pleasure.

Three pairs of strong hands.
Three sets of hungry eyes.
Three very special “gifts” waiting to be unwrapped.

But my ex is storming up the mountain with proof of my deadly past.
He’s ready to destroy everything—my career, my freedom, my happiness.

What my three Santas don’t know?

I’m carrying a Christmas surprise that will have them breaking every rule in their book…
Because this year, being naughty never felt so nice.

First time I see him: I’m hiding in the garden from yet another potential suitor.
That’s when I see him—Matteo Caruso.
All dangerous swagger and wicked blue eyes.
My fiancé’s right-hand man, and completely forbidden.

My wedding rehearsal: I’m supposed to be walking down the aisle.
Instead, I’m watching my engagement crumble.
And Matteo? He’s watching me.

The next morning: I wake up in his penthouse.

Now Matteo has to choose:
His loyalty to the D’Amatos, or his love for me.

But I’m carrying a secret that changes everything.
One that will force everyone’s hand.
Because this stolen queen? She’s carrying the heir to a new empire.

And Matteo Caruso doesn’t just steal what he wants.
He keeps it.

High Heels & Mistletoe by C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author

High Heels & Mistletoe by C.A. King, USA Today Bestselling Author

Call it an allergy or a family curse, either way it boiled down to the same problem: Julietta Romero couldn’t go within six feet of mistletoe.

Forty-eight weeks, from January to the beginning of December, were spent filling the position as a top executive at a prestigious marketing firm—a five-year running record without a single incident. As long as she continued taking all her vacation hours all at the same time, nothing would change. Then, the worst scenario happened: with only a handful of days left before her flight, she found herself working round the clock on the firm’s biggest deal yet, and her boss wasn’t letting her leave until it was signed, sealed, and delivered.

Luke Winslow was in love with women, parties, and the holidays, and not necessarily in that order. Taking over one of his father’s companies didn’t fit into any of his plans, nor did a relationship that lasted longer than a roll in the sheets. There wasn’t a single person who had made him want to settle down and be serious, that was until she fell into his arms… several times. Now, he’ll do anything possible to stop her from escaping his charms, including holding off putting his John Hancock on the business deal his father instructed him to close.

It’s up to the magic of the season to bring this unlikely couple together with a little help from a pair of High Heels and Mistletoe.
