There’s something special about a Christmas romance that
makes the heart ready to celebrate the holiday season.
I haven’t got a new one to offer you this year – moving
house, etc, etc, etc… you’ve heard it all before, put a bit of a spanner in my
productivity. But thanks to the wonders of the digital age, those I’ve written
in the past few years are still available.
The first Christmas romance I wrote – All She Wants for
Christmas - wasn’t meant to be a Christmas romance at all. Maddy, my heroine,
after a very hard year building up a successful business, was calling time on
anything to do with the holiday and chilling out in the West
Indies with her father; the best laid plans…
It was originally given the title Trouble in Paradise, but there was a gap in the publishing schedule
that December, the book was renamed and with a few fairy lights added to the
beach scene cover it was a Christmas title.
Harlequin haven’t released it as an ebook yet, but it has
recently been re-released in a large print library edition, so you can make a
librarian’s day by asking her for it. It won’t cost you a penny.
The final selection is a duet of books in which the heroines change places. The “princess” becomes the pauper in Christmas Angel for the Billionaire and the supermarket checkout girl becomes a "princess" for a week in Her Desert Dream
I have copies of the Changing Places duet for one lucky
commenter (paper or 
ebook, whichever you prefer). For a chance to win, tell me
about something that happened to you at Christmas. Something wonderful,
something ghastly, something magic...I’ll post the winner on Friday (so make sure you tick the box to get follow up comments so that you don’t miss it).

My favorite! Well, all the themes seem to be favorite. But I love this time to arrive and have related books to read.
Thank you for the suggestions.
Happy Holidays!
Thanks, Teresa. I love the sense of anticipation at this time of year. Everything seems possible!
Something wonderful and magical was in 2004 my dad was serving in Iraq (he has since returned home in 2008 on a permanent basis after being injured) but he was told he would not be able to come home for Christmas but I got home from work on the afternoon a few days before Christmas and there he was sitting on the couch waiting for us,it was the most awesome thing ever to see his smiling face,and the best surprise ever I really did not see it coming !
Thank you for the great post and thank you for the lovely giveaway your very good to us !
I could only think of disastrous things that happened at first, like the Christmas my Nana chucked a sulk and wouldn't come and we spent the morning trying to persuade her then the rest of day feeling guilty for enjoying ourselves. So she got what she wanted ;-].
Then I remembered my mum decorated a dry tumble weed with tiny ornaments just for me when I was 5. It was so pretty and unusual but unfortunately our house burned down the following year and all the photos were lost.
That is such a wonderful story, Desere!
Fiona, that's the downside of Christmas. Expectations are high and tempers are short!
I absolutely love Christmas themed books, so it's perhaps fitting that my debut release is just that. Out just before Christmas itself, I can't think of a better present for myself :-D
Absolutely the perfect pressie, Aurelia! Do you want to come and tell us about it?
I'd love to!
Thank you Liz !
Just want to say I read Mistletoe and the Lost Stiletto last night and loved it! Thank you!
