Get ready for sexy snowball fights and enough steam to melt your snowman in this collection of all new holiday stories.
Everyone loves a Heartwarming Christmas Movie…
Snowball fights in the fresh fallen snow, steaming mugs of cocoa, you've seen the movies. Boy meets a girl, they work together on a festival or the tree lighting, sometimes things get a little steamy…and love wins in the end, no matter how impossible it might seem.
But when the president of Heart and Soul Studios calls this particular cast and crew in for one last movie before Christmas, it's humbug all the way.
They’d rather do Scrooge impressions than holiday romances. Despite their grumpy moods and bad attitudes, Christmas magic still happens.
The innocent girl I watched from the shadows grew into a tempting goddess who deserved better than my darkness.
One look. One touch. One mistake.
She didn’t just see me… she saw through me.
Revealing my identity was a price I wasn’t willing to pay.
But I was wrong.
She bought me with her touch.
I walked away once, and if I know what’s good for me, I’ll do it again.
But my best intentions are about to be obliterated…
When I find her in the one place she shouldn’t be.
Covering for her means risking the wrath of her family.
The longer I’m forced to keep this secret, the less I care about what it could cost me.
And you know what they say about bad behaviour?
The same thing as good deeds…
They shouldn’t go unpunished.

Tracy Lorraine is a M/F and M/M contemporary romance author.
Tracy has recently-ish turned thirty and lives in a cute Cotswold village in England with her husband, baby girl and lovable but slightly crazy dog.

Gage runs the L’Griffe, AKA the dragon shifter mafia on Earth. Since the human realm has no supernatural police, the L’Griffe do more than loan money or sell contraband. When it comes to dragon shifters, the L’Griffe are the law. And Gage isn’t the only sheriff in town, either. Other secret groups have their own gangs, including ghouls, demons, and everything in between. It’s an awkward balance, but it works.
Until the demons consolidate into the Horde. This alliance plans to take over Earth, and that’s just for starters.
Now Gage must build his own connections to fight this new threat. Fortunately, Gage’s true love, Huntress, comes from a family of superhuman warriors. All of them agree to team up and put down the Horde. Success seems just around the corner.
Then the truth becomes clear.
Thanks to magical cloning, the Horde is led by an old enemy of Huntress’ family—one that everyone thought had been destroyed forever. Now their archnemesis is back and more powerful than anyone could have imagined.
Looks like defeating these demons may also destroy Gage, Huntress, and everyone they love.

Excerpt:
HUNTRESS
8:44 p.m.
Abacus Subway Station, The Dark Lands
I stand upon a sleek platform in an underground rail station. Everything’s decorated in stainless steel and poured cement, along with the kind of gargoyle statues that belong in haunted houses.
In other words, it’s classic ghoul style. Which makes sense. After all, this is the Dark Lands, home to the undead.
Words scroll along the concrete. Another non-shocker. Ghouls love technology and magic. Many of their structures have a constant text flow. The walls here read:
Welcome to Abacus Station.
Arriving in ten minutes:
Train AJ-64 to West Cemetery.
Around me, the undead stride across the platform. All wear their standard-issue black robes with the hood pulled low. The Abacus is a massive complex of skyscrapers that cover the streets far above this underground chamber. It’s nothing less than the master counting complex for all the Dark Lands. Ghouls love numbers, so the Abacus is a big deal.
That’s not why I’m here, though.
In a few minutes, a runaway teen named BKT-37 will enter this station and meet a ghoul named KGX-9. The girl thinks her ghoul buddy is about to connect her to a new life.
In reality, KGX-9 is a member of the Kaolin gang. This unfortunate runaway is about to disappear forever.
Not on my watch.

As I stood next to Country, the president of the MC I was second in command to, I nodded toward the door. “Your woman’s here.”
Country looked in that direction. But I didn’t miss the quick glance at Dusty, a club girl he was fighting his feelings for, thinking she was too young. “Isla said she was bringin’ a friend.”
I glanced back since I hadn’t noticed his woman’s friend, and then like an idiot, I did a double take. “Fuck me,” I rumbled out low. My damn fantasy just walked into the room.
From first sight, I wanted her.
I wanted my hands in her long, wavy light-brown hair while I tugged her head back to have her gaze on me and me alone.
She was short, and fuck, it was cute on her.
Her body was… yeah…. My cock jerked and my hands twitched as I shifted on my feet. My body already wanted to be close enough for a touch, a taste.
Country chuckled until I elbowed him in the gut, and he clipped, “Dickhead.”
“Introduce me,” I told him.
He snorted. “That’s only possible if she makes it all the way over here with Isla. She looks ready to bolt.”
The goddess did. Her eyes were comically wide as she twisted this way and that, taking everything in. As well as having rosy cheeks, she thickly swallowed a few times when she spotted a brother with a club girl, kissing and groping each other.
We had several women around the place. I’d even admit some of the club girls were good-looking, but none of them had my attention like my little mouse did.
And fuck if I didn’t give a shit that I was already thinking of her as mine.
Country snorted. “You got a bit of drool, brother.”
I scratched my cheek with my middle finger. It was immature, but hell, we’d known each other since back in high school. Though Country and Death were a little older than me.
When the women got close, I straightened. Isla made her way over with a flirty smile for Country while she dragged her gaping friend behind her. The girl hadn’t even noticed me or Country as yet. She was too busy gawking from side to side.
I needed her eyes on me.
Would she like the way I looked?
At least she didn’t look disgusted by the brothers. A lot of us were covered in tattoos, and I was one of them.
“Yo, State” was yelled from somewhere off to the side. I knew who it was, but I wasn’t giving him my attention.
I didn’t look away from my mouse, so I caught her head swing our way and pause on me. I witnessed her blue eyes widening even more and how her chest rose as she sucked in a sharp breath.
Shit.
Was that good or bad? Good, I hoped.
“State,” Tech yelled again, and I had to force myself to look away, which was probably for the best as I didn’t want to scare her.
“What?” I barked back.
Tech nodded toward the hall.
Fuck.
It meant he had shit he needed to tell me.

A three-letter word made me a murderess at the age of eight years. But having experienced the curses of that word, I was done with men as I grew up. All men.
Except to outplay them in the New York financial
arena.
Then Crowned Sex enthroned in gorgeous velvet
charm and lustful gallantry storms into my life.
Spewing volcanic lava on my monumental arctic ice block. With the unapologetic fierceness of a savage god. Wearing crackling thunderbolts straight from the god Zeus. Explosive has nothing on it.
Adrian isn't hot, he's fucking hellish. He embarks on melting my ice block at the speed of lightning. But I was done with men.
I was done with sex. For ever. I. Was.
ADRIAN
I scented her darkness from the moment I was told
about her.
The sight of her sealed my decision. She was the woman created for my own darkness. I set off to protect her even from herself. Protect her to claim.
Fuse her darkness with my own. For. Myself.
I'd fended women off me with bazookas when I was done but they weren't. I wasn't prepared for the battle I soon fought. Not only with her but also with her family. And New York's billionaire gangsters who own
entourages of corrupt cops and politicians. With every battle I won, she started new darker wars around me.
You ate or you were eaten. Not even starving was an option.

Until Zoey Pearson gives me a new dream.
And passion beyond anything I thought possible.

Because of chart-topping songs that eviscerate me.
Ty's changed, he's immersed in a life of excess and debauchery.
I don't recognize the man I can't stop loving...
When fate throws us together eight years later, fireworks are explosive.
But our hearts are still fragile.
Will Ty forgive Zoey for shattering his heart?
Or will his past bad deeds come back to destroy her?
