In HOT TOY by Jennifer Cruise, Trudy Maxwell is doing some last minute Christmas shopping, trying desperately to find the most desired action figure of the season for her nephew. Running into Nolan Mitchell is the last thing she needs. Although they only went on a handful of dates, Trudy hasn't been able to get Nolan out of her mind. Now, he's following her around as she frantically takes toys off shelves, hoping what she's looking for is behind the less desirable toys. What she finds is last year's model; it doesn't spew green goo, but it'll have to do. What Trudy doesn't know is that she's not the only person who wants that toy, and the other guy is willing to kill for it. As Trudy is pulled into a real-life spy story, she has to figure out if she can trust Nolan and remember how it feels to believe in Santa.

In CHRISTMAS BONUS by Lori Foster, Christmas was always Maggie Carmichael's favorite holiday, but this year things are different. Her father died and left her in charge of his company, driving a wedge between her and the man of her dreams, Eric Bragg. Eric was her father's right- hand man and everyone, including Eric, thought he'd be the one to take over the company someday. Now that Maggie is his boss, his plans to seduce her will have to wait. Eric has been pining after Maggie since she was a fresh-faced 17- year-old and now he doesn't know how to tell her without it seeming like he's only after the company. They circle uncertainly around each other until a searing kiss under the mistletoe sets their passions to flame. Finding love at Christmas is the best gift ever.
