Christmas Kisses by Shandi Boyes

Single all The Way
Being dumped weeks out from Christmas already sucks, so imagine your fiancé replacing your position with his high school sweetheart while you’re snowed in at his family’s estate that’s meant to host your wedding.
Things couldn’t get any worse—so I won’t mention the hot chocolate incident, insensitive demand for the return of my engagement ring, or my luggage being stolen mere feet from my apartment when I can finally fly home.
But it’s December, the second most romantic month of the year, so things can only go up, right?
Wrong.
After too many drinks to numb the ache, and an unexpected advertisement for a male escOrt company, l decide to gift myself a night of plea$ure instead of wading through a handful of duds to find ‘Mr. Do Me Right!’
I’m set for a night of fun until I skip halfway across Ravenshoe before recalling I have no access to the funds needed for my festive night.
Thank goodness good old Saint Nick points me in the right direction. The mysterious stranger is everything I want to find under my tree Christmas morning.
He’s gorgeous, flirty, and single all the way… So why does it feel like more than Christmas magic will fuel our union when he offers the services I’m seeking for free?

Home for Christmas
After a grinchy battle to maintain the lease on the only place I’ve ever called home, the last thing I expect four days out from Christmas is an unexpected house guest.
I get more than I bargained for when a ginger-haired brute answers *my* door, wearing nothing but a towel, a devilish grin, and clutching a recently signed lease agreement.
I assume the mishap is a horrible misunderstanding, and that the brutish Brit will exit stage left with his tail firmly lodged between his legs once I’ve cleared the matter up.
I’m terribly mistaken.
He arrived stateside with intent, and it has nothing to do with bringing me home for Christmas
Thank god my once-favorite Christmas movie exposes exactly how to rid my apartment of an unwanted intruder.
This Christmas ‘ho’ has met his match, and the ruse our union inspires may very well kill him.

Christmas Kisses is two Christmas Ravenshoe Novellas. Single all The Way was published last year under the same title. Home for Christmas is brand new.
