The Secret Life of Mrs. Claus by Carly Alexander

Mayhem ensues under the mistletoe as a determined shopper grabs the very last hot toy action figure off the shelf, only to find herself plunged into the middle of a real-life spy game - in the arms of a sexy secret agent.

A no-nonsense lawyer intent on seducing her boss meets his twin instead, and gives him a scintillating kiss that leaves him begging for more. . .
Naughty or Nice by Eric Jerome Dickey
The backdrop is Christmas/Kwanzaa in Los Angeles, with lights twinkling in the windows and fake snow glistening beneath the palm trees. The McBroom sisters-Frankie, Livvy and Tommie-all have serious man problems. A few steamy encounters with Mr. Right are on top of the girls' wish lists.

Scenes from a Holiday by Laurie Graff
Three different holidays, three different stories. Nicki suffers a blow to the head and finds herself trapped in a Hanukkoma - an endless loop in which each day of Hanukkah brings her a new date from hell. Next, Carrie Pilby's New Year's Resolution is to peek out from her shell - no matter what she finds. Finally, big-city lawyer Emma is stuck at her parents' farm in Vermont for Christmas; things begin to look up, however, when she discovers that her high school crush still lives in town.
Stroke of Midnight by Carly Phillips
Three tales of spicy holiday midnights: a movie star abandons the fast lane for his hometown sweetheart; a man with a crush on his best friend poses as her secret admirer to make her New Year's wish come true; and a fun-loving party planner gets a straight-laced accountant to loosen up - by putting him in a Santa suit.
This Christmas by Jane Green
Three lively, modern stories will appeal to both chick-lit and romance readers. A young mother in search of herself contemplates divorce; a second wife decides to secure her marriage by finding a man for her husband's still-single first wife; and a woman determined not to be an outsider in her family's normally perfect Christmas takes her "perfect boyfriend" home with her with illuminating results.
