Tis the season for a hopeless crush on my older brother's best friend... This year will be different. I'm all grown up, my gaming channel is a huge success, and I finally have the confidence to make my move on Atlas Orion, the hottest chief in the navy. However, I don't intend for my smooth move to be covering Atlas in cranberry sauce. Not at all how I want to reintroduce myself to my new roomie and coworker.

Like my malfunctioning air mattress. We're down to one bed, two dudes, and a whole lot of holiday-fling temptation. Atlas has never been with a guy, but I don't have to do much persuading. And what better way to explore than a secret romp? No strings, and no one has to know. The problem? With every passing week, I fall harder for Atlas, who's far more than his drool-worthy muscles and heroic job. He's kind, funny, makes me breakfast in bed, and each midnight snowball fight brings us that much closer to heartbreak. Atlas can't stay in Kringle's Crossing forever, and I can't imagine leaving the only place I've called home. Our feelings run deep, but is it a holiday illusion? Can we find our way to a lasting future? CATERED ALL THE WAY is a brand-new, full-length holiday romance from the beloved author of THE GEEK WHO SAVED CHRISTMAS.

Help! I've inherited my aunt's historic house in small-town Oregon, and I need to fix it up and sell it fast before I move on to my big-city dreams. I'm one of the navy's best investigators, but twenty years of living in base housing means DIY isn't part of my extensive skill set.
