Romancing the Holiday

Recently divorced Lila Payne is hoping to turn over a new leaf when she inherits her uncle's dilapidated resort in HelenKay Dimon's cheerful "We'll Be Home for Christmas." The furthest thing from her mind is a run-in with Spence Thomas, a man she had an incredible three-night stand with but was never going to see again. Spence, on the other hand, has plans to mend more than just Lila's cabins. Chicago's magical skyline is the perfect backdrop for Christi Barth's "Ask Her at Christmas." Caitlin McIntyre is shocked that her best friend (and secret crush) Kyle Lockhart intends to propose to his girlfriend of only six months and enlists Caitlin's help in the process. This proposal comes with a business merger that will finally grant Kyle the respect of his dying father. How can Caitlin refuse, even if it is at the expense of her own heart? Burton's characters from her "Kent Brothers" series provide a dash of welcomed spice in "The Best Thing." An unexpected (but much-desired) kiss at last year's company Christmas party between Tori and her love-'em-and-leave-'em boss, Brody Kent, has left her uneasy. Brody is intent on fixing their relationship, but Tori isn't sure that she can trust him. Fortunately, Christmas is rolling around again, and this may be the right time for him to get past his commitment issues and win Tori's heart once and for all.
