November is here, and Thanksgiving and the winter holidays are fast approaching. My mom loves this time of year, and her excitement seems to have rubbed off on me. Although, I love spring and everything. It is nice to be in Texas now and enjoying autumn. To my friends in northwest Montana, my thoughts are with you and all the snow already on the ground. I miss you, but I am happy where I am right now.

He’s under my skin…After Katmere, I shouldn’t be surprised by anything. Including the existence of a world beyond my world called the Shadow Realm. Yet here I am, stuck in a strange, dangerous place with the worst of the supernaturals, the monster that other monsters fear: Hudson Vega. He might be Jaxon’s brother and ridiculously hot, but he’s a complete bona fide pain in my ass.
The question is whether we’ll find a way out before I kill him…or run out of time.
She’s stealing my heart…
It’s a truth universally known―at least according to Grace―that everything is my fault. But I have a nasty suspicion that Grace isn’t as human as she thinks, and she’s the one keeping us trapped. Now we’ll have to work together not only to survive, but to save all those we’ve come to call family who live here.
Because there’s something connecting us. Something stronger than fear…and way more bloody dangerous.
Christmas After All by Cece Louise
Happily Ever After #1
Publication Date: November 8, 2022
Genre: Sweet Holiday Romantic Comedy
As if ruining my life wasn’t enough, now he’s back to ruin my Christmas.
Melissa
The only thing I hate more than Christmas is Tucker James—the guy who wrote a song about me after I turned him down in high school.
He became famous. I became infamous.
With Tucker back in town to play at the annual winter festival, this Christmas is shaping up to be one of the worst. Everyone in Halften loves the country music star who put our town on the map.
Everyone except me.
Tucker
Years ago, I wrote a not-so-flattering song about the girl I had a crush on in high school.
It became my first number-one hit. And made her the laughingstock of our hometown.
Now I’m back in Halften, and it’s pretty clear the only thing Melissa Ellis wants for Christmas is me out of her life.
But in a town this small, it’s going to take a miracle for either of us to make it through this holiday season unscathed.
A sweet enemies-to-lovers holiday romance full of witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and swoony kisses without any explicit content!

As she navigates a world of politics and payoffs, she discovers there are any number of community members, along with the committee itself, who had a reason to want the chair dead.

Told in alternating points of view, this middle grade novel, following best friends Ronny and Jo, is about anxiety, being in over your head, and learning to accept help—even if you don’t know how to ask
Eight hundred seventy-eight dollars. That’s how much Ronny needs by January 4th to make to keep his family’s only car from getting repossessed. Since a workplace injury disabled his dad and forced the family to move from their home into the apartment complex across the street, Ronny’s been learning all sorts of things—like what letters marked with Final Notice means and that banks can take cars away for being behind on payments.
His best friend Josefina Ramos is also counting down until the start of January when her life could change forever—that’s when she has her big cello audition at the prestigious music academy Maple Hill. Except she can’t play a solo performance without something disastrous happening and no one seems to hear her when she talks about how nervous she is.
As the countdown to the new year rolls ahead, Ronny and Jo learn what can happen to best-laid plans and how to depend on one another and their community when things get tough.

Still, he can’t deny the hole inside that keeps reminding him he’s longing for something . . . more.
Chef Lark Gibson has only one thing on her mind: opening a restaurant in Portland. Until that day comes, Lark will take her food truck to as many events as possible and make sure her customers are always begging for more.

Will the approaching Christmas season lead this hungry cowboy and ambitious chef to realize that what they think they want isn’t what they really need? Find out in Savoring Christmas, a sweet romance full of humor, heart, and holiday fun.
