MISTLETOE MISCHIEF, book 1 Christmas in July at the zoo is the last place single parents Eric Riley and Marissa Wilder expect to find love. Thanks to some mistletoe mischief in the form of their two young daughters and Santa, they discover mistletoe rules were not made to be broken. (Previously published 2009 in Mistletoe Rules anthology, a 2010 Write Touch Readers' Award Winner) ~~~ “Daddy, you’re under the mistletoe.” Eric glanced up at a sprig of leaves and holly berries attached to the roof of the cart, then dropped his gaze to Marissa’s. “So we are,” he murmured. Her face flushed, but he couldn’t tell if it was from embarrassment, or anticipation of a kiss. He knew the reason his pulse raced like an out of control locomotive. “You have to kiss her,” Reese stated. God Bless you, Reese. Santa laid his arm across the back of the front passenger seat and craned his head around, his brown eyes twinkling. “‘Tis tradition.” “It’s the rule,” Reese argued, frowning at Santa before turning back to Eric. “You say so every Christmas when we stand in the doorway at Grandma’s.” “I do, don’t I?” Reese nodded emphatically. “Every year.” Eric faced Marissa and sighed with exaggerated reluctance. “I might’ve been able to buck tradition, but a rule’s a rule.” Romancing Wisconsin Series Mistletoe Mischief , book1 Mistletoe Magic, book 2 Mistletoe Match-Up, book 3 Autumn Wish, book 4 Autumn Bliss, book 5 Autumn Kiss, book 6 less

MISTLETOE MAGIC, book 2 Major Mark Riley plays Court Jester to Janelle Walsh's Snow Queen at the Christmas Parade and is instantly captivated by the cute redhead whose grandpa just happens to be Santa. When Mark learns she's the tenant he evicted from his newly purchased property, it's going to take a little bit of Santa's mistletoe magic to save their romance. (Previously published 2009 in Mistletoe Rules anthology, a 2010 Write Touch Readers' Award Winner) Excerpt: She gave him a quick half-smile and sidestepped toward the wagon. “It was nice to meet you, Major. Thanks for doing such a great job as the jester.” “You’re welcome, and you can call me Mark, you know.” “Major’s safer.” The briefest flash of consternation in her expression told him she hadn’t meant to say that out loud. When her foot landed on the step so she could pull herself up into the driver’s seat, Mark caught her arm and turned her around. She grabbed hold of his shoulder to keep her balance on the narrow step. “If I don’t do this, it’s going to drive me crazy until I see you again,” he told her in a low voice. Her throat muscles worked in a hard swallow. “Do what?” A downward flick of her gaze said she knew the answer to her own question. He let his mouth relax in a slow, confidant smile. One step closer brought him close enough to brace a hand against the wagon on either side of her. “I gotta tell you, pretty as you were as the Snow Queen, elf suits you better—although I do miss those cute, pointy little ears.” She rolled her eyes. “Oh, please.” He took a moment to let his gaze roam over her face. Snow drifted down silently and their breath mingled in the frigid air. Mark drew out the anticipation of what was to come, enjoying the awareness that warmed the space between them. “You look like Christmas,” he murmured. One corner of her mouth twitched. “I’m guessing it’s the costume.” He shook his head and reached up to twirl a red curl around his finger, watching the silky length wind against his skin before holding her gaze with his. “Red and green, and all wrapped up like a delicious, cinnamon scented present.” She laughed softly. Mark closed the remaining few inches, pressing the length of his body to hers. “In fact, I think I need to go find Santa and tell him I’ve been a real good boy this year.” He spoke the last words a hairsbreadth away from her lips.

MISTLETOE MATCH-UP, book 3 When Lisa Riley comes home for her brother Mark's Christmas Eve wedding, her high school rivalry with his wife Janelle's cousin, Derek Walsh, picks up right where it left off, only this time Derek has the upper hand. Santa bides his time as they battle it out because he's waited a whole year for this mistletoe match-up. ~*~ She ignored Derek and smiled at Mark and Janelle. “I would love to help.” “Great!” Janelle exclaimed. She looked from Lisa, to Derek, and back. “Hey, wouldn’t it be fun if you two had a little contest to see who could raise the most money? Just like old times.” Derek’s hands clenched at his side. Great. Just great, Janelle. He waited for Lisa to gleefully pounce at the opportunity to bury him again, only to be surprised by her dismayed expression. “I don’t know if that’s such a good idea,” she said. He should be relieved. Instead, his competitive demon demanded retribution for all the humiliation it’d endured during the old times. He’d bury her. “Why not?” he asked. Her gaze remained locked on his cousin. “No offense, Janelle, but it seems a little silly. I mean, we���re not in high school anymore.” Derek relaxed and fell into their old pattern with ease. “What’s the matter, Lisa, afraid you’ve lost your magic touch? Are you not up for the challenge?” That got her. Her spine stiffened and fire gleamed in her eyes. “Of course I am.” He fake frowned, nodded his head with understanding, and stage whispered, “I get it.” “Get what?” Derek glanced at their captive audience. “Nothing.” She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him. He valiantly avoided staring at her increased cleavage. It wasn’t so hard with his grandparents and her brother watching. And her silent demand for an answer. “I probably shouldn’t say it now. Not in front of everyone.” Lisa’s eyes narrowed. “Please, do enlighten us—all of us.” Her condescending sarcasm stroked the blood-thirsty devil on his shoulder. Their audience of respective family members waited in expectation. Grandpa, in particular, appeared to enjoy the exchange immensely. This next part would almost make high school worth it. Derek shrugged. “Obviously, it’s me.” “You?” She infused the single word with an appropriate amount of humorous disbelief and disdain, only she avoided looking him in the eye. “You’re scared you can’t handle me all grown up.” Romancing Wisconsin Series Mistletoe Mischief , book1 Mistletoe Magic, book 2 Mistletoe Match-Up, book 3 Autumn Wish, book 4 Autumn Bliss, book 5 Autumn Kiss, book 6 less
