Hidden in Plain Sightby Elana Johnson

He’s a member of a prominent family in Forbidden Lake looking to finish his degree. She’s trying to make ends meet and stay out of the spotlight, which is pretty much impossible when someone starts a relationship with one of the Addlers…

Jonathan Addler doesn’t know why he wants to impress his father, but he does. And that means finally finishing his degree. He signs up for the introductory cooking class, thinking it will be a huge waste of time. Then he meets Cassandra Caldwell, and everything changes.

Cassie wants one thing: to keep her twin brothers safe. After her mother’s death, she took them in and relocated to Forbidden Lake, where she’s done whatever she could to keep them off the radar of their convict father.

She doesn’t want to risk her family and career, but the more time she spends with Jon, the more she wonders if he’s worth the risk. They agree to keep their budding romance under wraps, especially once Cassie gets notified that she’s up for a promotion at the college that would allow her to give up her second job.

As she and Jon carry on their relationship behind closed doors, he falls harder and harder for her. But she can’t really commit to a relationship when she has emergency escape bags packed and in the trunk of her car.

Can Jon convince her Forbidden Lake is safe and to stay with him? Or will she run again, shattering her heart—and his—in the process?

Dashing Mr. Snow by Alexis Winter

“Maybe we can be a little naughty. You want to be naughty for me, right?”
The last thing I expected to get for Christmas was being dumped by my boyfriend—after all, I’m always on Santa’s good list. But walking in on my naked boss and seeing his candy cane was an even BIGGER holiday surprise—one that has me headed straight for a lump of coal this year.

Alex Snow, the billionaire CEO of Snow Communications and the only living heir to his family’s fortune, has a reputation for being intimidating.
Not in the “I’m an arrogant bosshole” kind of way, but more of a “I value my privacy above all else” kind of way.

So imagine his delight when I stumble into what I think is his home office with a contract in hand just as he emerges from the shower.
Only… it isn’t his office. It’s his bedroom, and the low-slung towel hanging off his hips slides down his muscular thighs, landing in a perfect pile at his ankles.

There’s nothing like falling to your hands and knees in raging embarrassment after making direct eye contactto gather up the papers you dropped.

What I thought would certainly end my career at his company has suddenly catapulted us into an unlikely friendship.
One that has me spilling all my secrets one drunken night when we end up stuck in an elevator.
But the moment he pulls me into his arms at a mistletoe kissing contest, he awakens something in me I didn’t know was there, something I want to explore more.

He pushes my limits, making demands of my body that have me begging to stay on the naughty list.

But when he comes home with me for the holidays as just a friend, lines start to blur, confusion takes over, and my ex shows back up in my life, telling me all the things I’ve wanted to hear him say for so long.

Suddenly, my heart and my head are in an all-out war.

One that has me questioning if my broken heart still pines for my ex, if this is just a game of forbidden lust, or if I’m already in love with my boss, the Dashing Mr. Snow.

Fall in love with this smoking hot holiday romance. This is a complete standalone with no cheating or cliffhangers and of course, a happily ever after.
