How far would you go to save someone you loved?
My name’s Sophie. At 19 I planned on college —not MS. I told people, but they started treating me differently, so now I keep it secret. I probably have many more years to live with this disease, but my grandmother does not. I left home and traveled to L.A. to look for alternative or traditional healing. I’d try anything because I was fighting for our lives.
My first night in L.A. I landed in the middle of a campus bar fight. Alejandro, the most beautiful man I’d ever met, rescued me.My second day I got lost in a dicey part of town. I hired Alejandro to drive me to my appointments; be my bodyguard. He made me laugh. He sheltered me. My heart started cracking open.
I wish I had told him my secret. When I discovered—he hadn’t yet told me his… A Story of Hope. A Story of Love. A Story of Redemption.

MS. MATCH MEETS A MILLIONAIRE
“…Scene stealing secondary characters are the icing on the cake and what a delightful cake it is!” Aunt G.
Description:
I, Harper Schubert, was an underpaid assistant working at Mr. Cupid Matchmaking Agency, surviving on Insta-Ramen and dreams. How was it possible that I made a love match that resulted in the society marriage of the year?
Christmas season was upon us and I planned on enjoying this gorgeous wedding by drinking too much Champagne, eating 5 star food, and relaxing for a change. I didn’t plan on running into a gorgeous, tuxedo-clad brick wall of a man.
I didn’t plan on him stopping my fall by grabbing onto my boob and Not. Letting. Go. I most definitely didn’t plan on this impossibly handsome man being my new client.
Ethan was heir to the Rosseaux Hotel fortune, whip smart, and hilariously funny. I was tempted to… good God I wanted to… but dating clients was a big, fat ‘No-No.’
It wasn’t fair that our chemistry was through the roof. Not possible that a guy from his side of the tracks wanted someone like me. Practically a sin that we couldn’t be together.
Weren’t some rules meant to be broken?

THE STUPIDEST HOLIDAY OF THE YEAR
“Jenessa is everywoman who doesn’t INTEND to fall in love again, but…” Beverly Diehl
Description:
After thirteen years of marriage I, Jenessa Rousseau, am finally divorced. My friends push me to date again but I’m not ready to put a toe in those waters. Instead I’m working through my roller coaster ride of feelings at the gym. At least the treadmill won’t complain I didn’t fold its socks right or cheat on me.
My not-dating plan is going great until Max, the chiseled trainer in the “Naughty but Nice” T-shirt, volunteers to help me work out.
Max is dangerously hot, kind, smart, and, wait – what? Twelve years younger than me? When he asks if I have Valentine’s Day plans I almost fall over, but then smoothly reply, “No – that’s the stupidest holiday of the year.”
But sometimes the stars align. And sometimes you find yourself healing. And sometimes the stupidest holiday of the year can turn into the sweetest one…
