Others: PositiveSnowed in with the one man I never want to see again? Not my dream holiday vacation. My charming cabin getaway starts by fending off a bear attack with my rolling pin. Except…the bear is actually my best friend’s brother. The star hockey player who stole my heart and broke it. Thanks, blizzard. Now I’m stuck alone with Caleb. He’s still frustratingly hot, and cocky as ever. This is what I get for taking time off from my beloved bakery. At least there are enough beds…but only one hot tub. Despite the cold, the inescapable heat between us sizzles. For every inch of space I keep from him, he crosses it to make my control unravel. I can’t fall for how tempting he looks chopping firewood to keep us warm. Or how irresistible it is when he takes care of all my problems before I realize them. Not again. Caleb won’t wear me down, no matter how hard he tries to convince me I’m the one who got away. Once the snow clears, we’re going separate ways. If he believes this is his second chance to win me back, well…he can kiss my sugar cookies.

Others: PositiveA snowstorm. A stranger. A spark. And it's Christmas! It should be the perfect start to the perfect love story. But real life is far messier and more complicated than in the pages of the books in Megan Taylor's family bookshop – the last few years have left this young widow in no doubt of that. Moving back home to York should have been a fresh start, but all it did was allow her to retreat from the world. When prize-winning author Xander Stone rams his supermarket trolley into her ankles and then trashes her taste in books, Megan is abruptly awoken from her self-imposed hibernation. It's time to start living again, and she's going to start by putting this arrogant, superior – admittedly sexy – stranger in his place. Just as she is beginning to enjoy life again, the worst happens and Megan begins to wonder if she should have stayed hidden away. Because it turns out that falling in love again is about more than just meeting under the mistletoe...
