No Place Like Nomeon , by Nikita Talia is second-in-command on a scouting ship.

Snowed In , by Elijah Tyler has been in love with David for years now. A chance power-outage has them growing closer than ever before, but why does David freak out when the morning comes?

A soft and romantic tale of two men and the depth of the care between them.

The Bunny and the Bachelor , by Lucien This story follows a beautiful bear and a smallish trans guy. When Danny gets a concussion on the front steps of his apartment building and winds up in the wrong apartment, Adán offers to take care of him overnight. What will happen when two lonely guys bond over holiday break? I'm sure you can guess! This heartfelt and steamy short story is sure to keep you cozy this snowy season. 18+ Readers only, please.

The Kissing Ball , by GL Just before Christmas, there arrives an unexpected visitor. She claims to be the fiancée of the son of the house, but he knows nothing about their alleged betrothal! In fact, he wants to marry someone else. This muddle has to be sorted out, or it's not only Christmas that will be ruined!
The Kissing Ball is one of four in Robinson's collection of Regency short stories, in which a widow finds love when an unusual new neighbor turns up looking for help; a young woman finds a buyer for her father's chemistry laboratory, but gets more than she bargained for; Sir Robert's future is changed forever by a dog and a dimple when he befriends a homely governess and her charge and conveys them to London; and a young woman with an extraordinarily beautiful best friend discovers that she isn't necessarily cast into the shade by that friend's beauty. These charming and cozy stories are perfect for curling up next to the fire with a cup of tea... or something stronger!
