The Perfect Christmas: Can This Be Christmas?
by Debbie MacomberWhat would make your Christmas perfect? For Cassie Beaumont, it's meeting her perfect match. Cassie, at thirty-three, wants a husband and kids, and so far nothing's worked. Not blind dates, not the internet and certainly not leaving love to chance. What other options are there? Well...she could hire a professional matchmaker. Simon Dodson has quite a reputation, but he's very choosy about the clients he takes on-and very expensive. Cassie considers him a difficult, acerbic know-it-all, and she's astonished when he accepts her as a client. Claiming he has her perfect mate in mind, Simon assigns her three tasks to complete before she meets this paragon. Three tasks that are all about Christmas: being a charity bell-ringer, dressing up as Santa's elf at a mall and preparing a traditional turkey dinner for her neighbors (most of whom she happens to dislike). Despite a number of comical mishaps, Cassie does it all-and then she's finally ready to meet her match. But just like the perfect Christmas gift, he turns out to be a wonderful surprise!

Perfect Disaster: Romance novel
by Stefania GilDo you think society is unfair on women? Do you think it is fair that a woman raising her children alone is branded a bad mother for one thing or another, while a man raising his children alone evokes sympathetic looks and words of support and encouragement? Yes, Alexis knows how unfair society is, because day after day life makes sure to let her know. And if not, there’s always Bethany Malone to remind her that as a mother and woman, she’s a disaster. But Alexis shrugs off the comments of others —for the most part. As long as her children have food on the table, a roof over their heads, and her; especially her, to give them the love that only a mother knows how to give. As for Henry, he’s a widower, whose wife’s sudden death coupled with his daughter’s looming adolescence isn’t making life easy for him. Fortunately, he doesn’t want for help although he’s not amused by the pity shown him and the way that, being a man, he’s considered to be useless both in the home and in raising his daughter. What will happen when Henry and Alexis cross paths and discover that they can support each other as a team, even when their lives are so different?
