Six years ago, he was her one-night stand, and now they’re sharing a villa for the holidays. I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life. Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa. Needless to say, this Christmas getaway is starting off rockier than the mountains we’ll be skiing down. I’ve stayed away for years, what’s one week? But I forgot how much easier it is to ignore him with an ocean separating us—especially when he’s determined to win me back.

I don't need a present for Christmas because you fulfilled all my wishes. ... Perpetually single Blair Hawthorne is perfectly content with her life in the small town of Mislin Bush. She owns an antique shop and she's surrounded by family. Too bad that family is pressuring her to find a husband, or at the very least, a significant other before she faces yet another holiday season unattached. Making matters worse, Mislin Bush is crazy about holiday romance, especially in light of the local custom of hanging up mistletoe in every corner of the town. In Mislin Bush, couples kissing under the mistletoe isn't just tradition, it's town pride. When a handsome stranger arrives unexpectedly, Blair is determined to resist not only his charm, but the mistletoe. Despite her growing attraction to him, she's in no mood for romance, not even during the most wonderful time of the year. Colson Bennett might have roots in Mislin Bush, but he's a hotshot executive from the city. Small time life is a change of pace for him. An even bigger change of pace? Beautiful, feisty girl-next-door Blair who is nothing like the upper-class ice queens he's used to dating back in the city. As the heir to a family fortune, Colson is expected to marry a fellow blue blood – the exact opposite of down to earth Blair. But when he arrives in town to settle a deceased relative's affairs, Colson decides that only a small-town girl like Blair can help him handle his family's valuable antiques. As things heat up between them, Colson gets into the holiday spirit for the first time in his life. For once, he's putting work aside to get close to someone special. In a town where perfect strangers fall in love under the mistletoe, can Colson break tradition and follow his heart in time for Christmas?

Film plays a vital role in the celebration of Christmas. For decades, it has taught audiences about what the celebration of the season looks like – from the decorations to the costumes and to the expected snowy weather – as well as mirrors our own festivities back to us. Films like It’s a Wonderful Life and Home Alone have come to play key roles in real-life domestic celebrations: watching such titles has become, for many families, every bit as important as tree-trimming and leaving cookies out for Santa. These films have exported the American take on the holiday far and wide and helped us conjure an image of the perfect holiday. Rather than settling the ‘what is a Christmas film?’ debate – indeed, Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are discussed within – Analyzing Christmas in Film: Santa to the Supernatural focuses on the how Christmas is presented on the deluge of occasions when it appears. While most Christmas films are secular, religion makes many cameos, appearing through Nativity references, storylines involving spiritual rebirth, the framing of Santa as a Christ-like figure and the all-importance of family, be it the Holy family or just those gathered around the dining table. Also explored are popular narratives involving battles with stress and melancholy, single parents and Christmas martyrs, visits from ghosts and angels, big cities and small towns, break-ups and make-ups and the ticking clock of mortality. Nearly 1000 films are analyzed in this volume to determine what the portrayal of Christmas reveals about culture, society and faith as well as sex roles, consumerism, aesthetics and aspiration.

Who knew sleeping with the enemy could be this fun? Was the one night stand a good idea? Well, no. Probably not in retrospect. In my defense I had just moved back into my grandparent’s house, I’d lost my dream job, and a guy on Tinder had stood me up. It was like life had suddenly stamped ‘LOSER’ on my forehead. So when the guy behind the bar started giving me THE look…you know, the one that promised I’d be screaming his name into the wee hours of the morning? When that guy also has the perfect amount of scruff on his chiseled chin, biceps bulging out of his t-shirt, and a cocky grin you knew he’d earned in the sack…when he gives you that look, you don’t bother to figure out what your six degrees of separation are. You jump on that horse and ride it! Pun fully and completely intended. And accurate by the way. I fully admit to feeling sorry for myself and acting impulsively, but by the time I’d figured out WHO the bartender was, I was already falling for him. A romcom from a secret duo of USA Today Bestselling Authors, comes the first COMPLETE STANDALONE in the Modern Love Series.

Never-ending sugar cookies, hockey on the beach, Christmas décor galore—Who can be blue on Mistletoe Key? Kelly Griffin grew up on Mistletoe Key and is so over it—the fake snow, the jangly jingle bells, the forced cheer. Ugh, so over it. All she wants for Christmas is to never have to think about Christmas again. But leaving the only home she’s ever known and starting over where no one knows her name is an impossible wish. Enter the one man who knows all about what Kelly has lost—Hunter “Blue” Bowen. A hockey superstar trying to keep a low profile while recovering from his career-threatening injuries, Blue starts to fall in love with the kitschy charm of the island…and its grinchiest resident. Kelly’s wish could come true…if Mr. Hockey God would just buy out her half of the property. But leaving the island also means leaving Blue alone under the mistletoe, and that’s something she’s not sure she can do. Blue Christmas, Book 2 of the Mistletoe Key Series, is a charming island holiday romance for fans of Jill Shalvis, Lucy Parker, and Lauren Layne.
