'This Christmas, Santa is granting wishes these two friends never knew they had.

'Helping his best friend photograph a bunch of hyperactive kids is suddenly the least of Dean Hall's problems when he sees the costume Talli wants him to wear. No guy in his right mind wants to be seen in a pair of tights.

'Talli Jarmen isn't above a little subterfuge when she's desperate for help. But getting Dean's assistance proves to be more than she bargained for when she sees him decked out in the naughtiest Christmas costume she's ever laid eyes on. She's never thought about Dean that way, but seeing him practically naked has her questioning their 'friends only' status. But wanting more is dangerous. Are they willing to risk all they have for what could be?' (Publisher's blurb)

'From bestselling author Rhian Cahill. Sometimes Santa doesn’t give you what you want — he gives you what you need.

'The last thing Jenn wants this Christmas to be is merry. Hibernating in her apartment is the perfect plan for someone who has lost way more than just her Christmas cheer. She’ll re-emerge on December 26th and move on with her life.

'Morgan has had just about enough of dancing around the sexual chemistry between himself and his manager, Jenn. If he has his way, she won’t spend this Christmas — or any other — alone. With the help of a bogus set of secret Santa envelopes, he’s going to deliver a Christmas present to the woman he loves, one she’ll never forget!' (Publication summary)

'She didn’t plan to fall in love, but he’s not accepting anything less.

'Emily has a five year plan, and romance isn’t in it. Unfortunately, no one told Wade Johnson that.

'Wade never thought he’d need to resort to blackmail to get a date. But if that’s what it’ll take to convince Emily Warner to join him, then that’s what he’ll do — and he’ll make it a date neither of them will ever forget.

'New Year’s is all about new beginnings and Emily and Wade are about to discover the best beginnings start at year’s end!' (Publisher's blurb)
