What’s a girl to do when her birthday falls on one of the
biggest holidays of the year? Learn to laugh, that’s what.
Yes, my birthday is on Christmas. When I was growing up, I
never got to invite classmates to a party on my special day. I’ve had friends
and family give me one gift, thoughtfully labeled “Merry Birthday.” It’s a
rip-off.
But instead of pouting, I learned to deal with my Christmas
birthday through humor. I love to tell the story about receiving a pair of
athletic shoes from a creative friend who wrapped one shoe up for Christmas and
the other for my birthday. Or boasting that I was the best Christmas gift my
parents ever received.
I had fun writing these short comedic holiday romances. I
hope you enjoy reading them.
The
Wench Who Stole Christmas
Billionaire Bear McLeery knows Christmas magic doesn’t
happen without a little help from Santa and his elves so every year he
coordinates a corporate toy drive and party for local needy families. The
employees love volunteering almost as much as they enjoy the huge corporate
celebration that follows.
Eloise Manny, the new H.R. manager hired by Bull McLeery,
Bear’s father and company CEO, might be great at her job but she doesn’t have
an ounce of holiday spirit. Her Bah-Humbug attitude is threatening to ruin
Bear’s favorite time of year.
Can Santa convince Eloise to believe in the magic of
mistletoe or will the wench steal everyone’s Christmas joy?
‘Twas the
Nightcap Before Christmas
Gemma Hilliard has had a massive crush on her boss
since the day she started working for him three years ago. She quickly learned,
however, that any hint she was interested in more than coordinating his
calendar would earn her a pink slip. During the holidays, her control tends to
slip when she drinks more than one glass of bubbly under the mistletoe…a
mistake she’s managed to avoid until now.
When Hawk McLeery discovered his
ex-fiancée was after his money and not his heart, he swore off all romantic
entanglements. Managing the marketing department for his family’s
multi-billionaire dollar company keeps him plenty busy, and his super-efficient
executive assistant is the next best thing to a wife…almost.
The 12 Dames of
Christmas
If Fox McLeery can’t get a date for his
family’s corporate Christmas party, he’ll lose out on an expensive bet with his
brothers. Sure, he has a well-earned reputation as a womanizer, but in real
life, he’s nothing like the callous playboy the tabloids make him out to be.
Too bad the gossip and rumors have convinced every eligible female in a
hundred-mile radius Fox isn’t worth the risk.
Stranded in New York City on Christmas Eve is a
nightmare for Tabitha Hotchkiss. The holidays are all about home, hearth and
family, and she’s stuck in a hotel. When an attractive stranger invites her to
his family’s Christmas party, she happily agrees…only to discover the intimate
gathering she imagined is a corporate celebration.
What magical discoveries will Tabitha make if she takes
the time to look beyond the twinkling lights and shiny giftwrap of Christmas?
Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!
