Romance Anthology

Make this wonderful Christmas anthology a gift to yourself. All three stories are delightful, so cuddle up and enjoy.

MISTLETOE AND HOLLY - Holly had it all planned out. A seductive evening with Brad, the man of her dreams, will have him popping the question for sure. But Brad has plans of his own. He dumps her right before Thanksgiving. Holly is going to win him back any way she can.

It's the last day of school for the semester. Sam McKenzie has been filling in for a college English professor on maternity leave, and now he's at loose ends until winter semester. He returns home and becomes Holly's temporary roommate. Sam believes in love at first sight and immediately falls for her. Now all he has to do is convince her.

This wonderful Christmas journey makes us believe, too. Read this wonderful story and see how long it takes Holly to find her greatest Christmas gift ever!

CHRISTMAS HONEYMOON - Stacey is in Las Vegas posing as her cousin, Janie, for an all-expense paid honeymoon. The man who shows up to be her fake husband is none other than Dylan Davis, the one man she already lost her heart to once. He's also the man who walked out on her, and this charade is just not going to work. Dylan admits that walking out on Stacey is the biggest mistake he ever made. Now he's in Las Vegas and will do anything to win her back. They're right for each other and now he must convince Stacey of that.

This journey of two hearts is delightful with two Christmas wishes about to come true.

A BABY FOR CHRISTMAS - Nick is her next door neighbor, her best friend and the secret man of her dreams. After an evening of Kahlua, coffee and a sympathetic ear, Chloe has the most romantic evening of her life in Nick's arms (and his bed). Can their friendship survive becoming lovers?

Well, that's something Chloe doesn't need to worry about because Nick, having had too much to drink, can't remember a thing about their night together. Chloe remembers each and every moment, loves him even deeper than before and is given a gift. In nine months, at Christmas time, Chloe will be having Nick's baby. She can't tell him and wreck his life plans, sidetrack his dreams, and saddle him with responsibilities he doesn't want. She loves him too much to do that.

Nick and Chloe's nine-month journey is one you don't want to miss. It touches the heart like none other.

Enjoy this entire Christmas anthology. You'll be so glad you took each and every journey of the heart. In true Lisa Plumley style, these stories are enchanting and will fill your heart with love, laughter and pure Christmas joy.

SUMMARY

This Christmas, chill out and cuddle up with these enchanting holiday stories...

Mistletoe and Holly - Accountant Holly Aldridge scrupulously plans everything in her life--until her boyfriend gets spontaneous by dumping her right before Thanksgiving. Still, Holly's sure he'll reconsider, given a little time...and a reason to be jealous. That reason, all six-feet-plus of him, is her new roommate, Sam McKenzie. If Sam has his way, Holly will have a sizzling new romance by Christmastime...

Christmas Honeymoon - Some women would consider it the perfect Christmas gift: an all-expenses-paid Vegas honeymoon. But Stacy Ames isn't some women. Actually, she's supposed to be posing as her cousin Janie. Too bad Stacy's faux hubby turns out to be her infuriatingly sexy ex, Dylan. Fortunately, mistletoe and free champagne have a way of turning "too bad" into very, very good...

A Baby for Christmas - Kahlua, coffee, and sympathy-- it's amazing the trouble they can get a girl into. Chloe Carmichal was only trying to help her best pal (and secret crush), Nick, drown his sorrows. She never expected they'd end up having a hot-and-heavy tryst that Nick's hangover would make him forget, but that Chloe will always remember...since she'll have his baby as a Christmas memento...
