It Happened on Hanukkah
Summary:
It Happened on Hanukkah

A sweet, opposites attract story

Jake
My new next-door neighbor is a problem I didn’t see coming. He’s way too beautiful, for starters—and way too young. And when his music comes through my wall late at night, it awakens feelings I’ve tried to keep buried for so long.

When his angry family confronts him about leaving their conservative Jewish community, all my protective instincts kick in. But I’m no longer a bodyguard, and I shouldn’t offer more than a dinner.

Asher
I want some experience in dating, but I have no clue how to go about it. I’m immediately attracted to Jake. Both his massive size and his amazing kindness draw me to him, but is his dinner invitation out of pity or interest?

Note: This is a short story for some holiday cheer
It was part of the Winter Wonderland tales





The Guy from Glamour
Summary:
The Guy #1
Nice guy Anthony has a sudden “friends with benefits” relationship with a hot military man.

Anthony’s sex life is better than ever. It would be perfect—if only he didn’t crave more. The chemistry between them is on fire, but Anthony is uncertain of asserting what he wants, at least beyond the bedroom.

Ex-military and new to the small town of Glamour, Dean doesn’t do relationships, though he is supposed to become his niece’s guardian. Soon, however, his niece is melting Dean’s guarded heart, along with her guidance counselor, Anthony. Out of place in the town and among Anthony’s warmhearted family, Dean struggles with the idea of permanence.

Can a no-strings sexual arrangement spark something more real?

NOTE: The new edition has been reformatted, with new front and back matter, but the overall story is the same.






The Christmas Lights Battle
Summary:
Shelby Beach Romance #1
For a single dad and his neighbor, the Christmas competition is on! Julian Moss wants to give his children a happy Christmas. Since his divorce, Julian has no time for a social life; he’s been doing the tiring work of two parents while his cheating ex-husband dodges his responsibilities. If that isn’t stressful enough, he has to deal with his new—and ridiculously good-looking—neighbor and his noisy dogs. Christmas used to be Julian’s favorite holiday, but lately all he sees is the cost. Then Julian’s young son tells him about a Christmas lights competition with a much-needed prize. Leo Adams is going to be alone for Christmas…again. All he’s ever wanted is to be accepted by his family, but he knows that will never happen. Deciding to focus on his career as a personal trainer, Leo develops a boot camp program on the beach, but he needs publicity. The lights competition offers Leo a way to get some free press, and if it annoys his snooty neighbor Julian—all the better. The battle is on, and both Julian and Leo want to win. The stakes are high, the reward is great, and the neighbors are in it to win it. There’s nothing like a little competition to make Christmas at Shelby Beach extra merry and bright.
