Times Square
Jana Aston - 2017
Honestly, it pissed me off. Retail propaganda aimed to promote sales when any single girl in the city could tell them they’d sell more if they’d offer Keep Your Pants On, Asshole instead. But it’s fine. I don’t have room for decorative pillows anyway. And I don’t have time for distractions. Which is why I’m ignoring the distraction staring at me right now. The one who looks like he belongs on a billboard campaign. The one with the full lips and the cocky smile. The one refusing to look away even when I give him my best no way scowl. The one headed in my direction. Right now.*This novel was previously published in the Love In Transit Anthology

When we meet, I swear I hear carolers singing, but something makes him go colder than the North Pole.Maybe he’s not a reason to stay. Maybe he’s a reason to keep traveling.LEVIAnyone who tells you Christmas is the best time of the year is a liar and should be watched with great suspicion. It’s true.

Then I find out the motorcycle I’ve been working on for her is really for a man. It must be her husband.

No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone but is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Meet Levi in Healing Her Home (Banks Ink. Book 5).Pine-ing for the perfect holiday romance? It’s love at frost sight with The 12 Days of Kissmas! A dozen standalone holiday romances so steamy they’re sure to melt that winter chill.
