Christmas Countdown Blitz: AN UNEXPECTED KISS

She and her husband live in northern Utah, and are parents to five children, and grandparents to six adorable grandchildren.

Lucy Phillips doesn’t want to spend her Christmas vacation dodging her ex-boyfriend, so when he turns up at the airport to give her a ride home, Lucy panics and asks a complete stranger to kiss her. Although the kiss is incredible, Lucy never expects to see the guy again. 

Is it bad luck or destiny when Lucy comes down with a sore throat and the new doctor in Snow Valley is none other than Cole Taggart, the guy she kissed at the airport?

Snippet: 

 Startled, the man only stared at her. Lucy didn’t have time to appreciate how good he smelled. She was on a mission. The man must have seen the distressed look in her eyes. Although somewhat stiffly, he brought his hands up and settled them around her waist.
“Lucy? What’re doing?” Lance’s voice was loud and irritated.
“Um, hi,” Lucy said, ignoring Lance, and trying not to get distracted by the color of the man’s eyes. “I’m Lucy, and I need you to kiss me. Right now.”
“Are you crazy, lady?” the guy answered.
Was it a good sign that he hadn’t dropped his hands yet?
“Maybe a little. But I’m also desperate.”
“Lucy, who is that man you’re with?”
Lance was closing in.
“Please. Just one little kiss. If he sees me kissing another man maybe he’ll finally get the message and leave me alone.”
The guy’s eyes flickered up, and his gaze narrowed slightly. Then his hands tightened around her waist and, in one smooth motion, he dipped his head and covered her mouth with his.
The kiss was tentative, like a kiss between strangers should be. Not that Lucy had ever done this kind of thing before. Still, it was nice and warmed her all the way down to her toes.

Snippet:

“They say no two trees are exactly alike. Growing them may be a science, but choosing the right one to decorate for Christmas—well, that’s an art. And it was the only thing Angela’s daughter wanted for her ninth birthday—to go to Mark Shafer’s farm and find the perfect tree for Christmas. And why wouldn’t she? As Mark’s grandfather Papa Shafer had told them last year, they were miracle trees.”

"Though Angela Donovan is out of work and needs money for rent, she yearns for her eight-year-old daughter to have a carefree holiday. The last thing she wants is the pressure of her daughter expecting a miracle. But when they pick out a Christmas tree at a cozy Massachusetts tree farm that’s exactly what happens when they learn the trees might be miracle trees.

Mark Shafer is soon to be the new keeper of the Christmas trees when he inherits the family farm. He’d like to run it with a family of his own, but his girlfriend wants nothing to do with farm life. He makes plans to sell so he can propose to his girlfriend and pursue a career in music. Then he meets an unforgettable customer and her daughter, and an anonymous gift compels them to learn the truth about the trees.

With a buyer willing to pay top dollar for the land, Mark has the fate of the trees in his hand. Will he be able to see what and who is most important? And will Angela give the miracle of love a chance?"


Snippet: 

From Chapter One:


"The Nor’easter brought the snow, but that didn’t start it. The radio station began playing carols around the clock, but that didn’t start it. Main Street wrapped the lampposts in candy-cane-striped garland, but even that wasn’t enough. Not until the decorated tree stood in the front window with soft lights glowing around the angel’s contented face did Christmas officially begin in the Donovan family. This year, Angela promised her daughter she could have the honor of choosing the tree."

Snippet: 

Even in the dim light of the street lamps, she could see his eyes were light. Blue, she imagined. Blue as the suburban sky. He had the kind of face that became more handsome the longer she looked at him.

"Banished from the South Pole, Kara tries to carve out a new life among the elves of the North. It’s not easy with a secret to protect—a secret she's cursed with by the unusual circumstances of her heritage: half-elf, half-fairy. In the North, she’s assigned to work with Seb on a special project. He's the most gorgeous elf she’s ever seen—and the orneriest.

As if being banished wasn’t punishment enough.

Seb introduces her to Trystin, a fairy from the nearby fairy forest. Trystin discerns her secret right away and promises to teach her how to use the powers given to her by the very thing she’s fighting to keep hidden."







Snippet: 

1.     When she was assured no one was near, Kara slipped her jacket off. With a relieved sigh, she unfurled her wings and spread them wide. The relief was immediate. Her gossamer wings might look thin, fragile and delicate, insubstantial, but they were as strong as any fairy’s—and not meant to be constantly rolled against her back.

She shook them out, shivering at the delight that came with the sensation of freedom she always felt when she was able to open them. With a grin, she leapt from the drop off, soaring into the icy wind that rushed across her face and through her long, amethyst hair, the same color as her eyes. As she rushed the ground, she spread her wings—the same unusual shade as her hair—even further, catching the wind and leveling out just above the tree tops. She fluttered them, pure feeling racing throughout her entire body with the motion. Flying like this was as close to bliss as Kara could imagine ever being.
