Here is a short sample from the book:
An Excerpt from The Peppermint Tree
Joe scanned the crowded dance floor. Where was she?
A merry melee of couples crowded before him, tuxedos and gowns of various lengths all meshed together beneath a flashing disco ball.
He caught sight of Tina three tables over. He spun around and headed in the opposite direction, and spied Skye at the bar.
He came up behind her and leaned his mouth close to her ear. “You can’t keep avoiding me.”
She jumped. “My God. You’re so quiet. What are you? An assassin?”
“Just a cowboy. How about a dance?”
She didn’t exactly agree but didn’t resist when he placed a hand on her lower back and guided her to the dance floor. Once they infiltrated the throng of couples clinging to one another as they swayed to Frank Sinatra, Skye turned to him, her face a blank mask. He folded her hand into his and wrapped his other arm around her, enjoying her proximity. Spending time with her hadn’t unfolded as organically as he’d hoped, since she’d managed to avoid him for large chunks of the evening.
“Did seeing Anderson make you feel like you were at prom again?” he asked, trying to ignore the cleavage teasing his senses and the heady scent reminding him of wildflowers.
She shrugged. “He’s doing well, of which I’m glad, and his wife is very lovely.”
She wouldn’t look at him, her countenance as icy as a frozen lake.
“Am I missing something here?” he asked.
“I’m tired. I want to go home.”
“I was hoping to spend some time with you.”
Putting distance between them, she raised her chin and locked eyes with him. “Are you now? What a piece of work you are, Carrigan.”
Her anger ignited the small space between them.
“Why do you say that?” He pressed his hand against her back to keep her from walking away, because one thing was certain—she was about ready to bolt.
“I’m tired of being at your beck and call.” Her voice seethed in a furious whisper. “You rejected me all those years ago, and now you’re just stringing me along again. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t keep treating me like some consolation prize and expect me to put up with it.”
Taken aback by her outburst, he attempted to regroup. “I’m not stringing you along.”
“I can’t do this anymore.” She tried to leave again, but he held fast to her. “I can’t be your friend,” she bit out, her voice still lowered so as not to attract attention. “I’ve tried. It’s too difficult.”
The shadow of pain in her eyes brought him up short.
He’d had no idea how much he had screwed up until this instant.
He grabbed her hand and led her out of the ballroom as Brenda Lee started singing “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” His grip firm, he wasn’t about to let her go.

Was it possible that Simon wasn’t as crazy in love with her as he used to be, or did their problems go much deeper than that?
Simon Hudson loves his wife and his infant daughter so much it hurts. And he was getting tired of holding back his emotions from his worn-out, exhausted wife who had seen their baby girl through her first year and a half of life without complaint.
Will their differences and emotional distance tear the two of them apart? Or will a precious gift from Santa help them heal their misunderstandings and have the merriest Christmas they’ve ever had?

The sons of Jordan Birchmier, Christian and Jordan, have been at war with one another for years. When older brother, Christian, caught younger brother, Jordan, behaving badly and had their father strike Jordan from the will, the younger Birchmier swore to get revenge.
That revenge caught innocent Willow, a woman from a poor family that basically won the lottery when she got a job at Birchmier and Sons. Photos of her having drunken sex emailed to Christian dash all of her hopes and dreams, though, when they are used to blackmail him into firing her.
When Jordan and Willow meet, it seems that romance and a mutual desire for revenge cause them to bond. But the plan that they hatch ends with a shocking twist Willow never sees coming.
Master’s Obedient Toy (Pushed To Her Limits):Jane’s been with her Master for a while now. She’s learned his rules, and she follows them… usually. One day, while being punished for talking back, she’s nude in the corner when she hears a knock at the front door.
Another man has been invited to use her while Master watches.
What Jane doesn’t know is that this is simply the next step in her submission. If she does well, she’ll be rewarded, in ways she never expected. But if she fails…
Into The Wild (An Erotic Paranormal Fantasy):Danika is good at her job, but her life is boring. She feels stifled and uncreative, slaving away to make websites for clients that don’t appreciate her.

While trying to calm down, Danika wanders into the woods and passes through an unseen barrier. The world that Danika is forced into is one where all women are witches and their powers are taken… but only through the act of sex.
Will the King of the mysterious tribe that captures her let her go? Or will he keep her as his sex slave for good?
Love’s Storm (Stranded With The Billionaire):Chloe has always been the strange girl. She’s not as wealthy as her friends, and certainly not as pretty as her best friend Amanda. She’s struggling to afford community college while Amanda glides through her expensive university with rich boyfriends.
Amanda’s got an idea to help, though. She’ll bring her friend out on the yacht, and then good times will be had by all. She even brings two hot guys for Chloe to hook up with! There’s only one problem: they’re gay.
An unexpected storm throws Amanda’s boat against a small island and leaves the yacht’s captain unconscious, Chloe has to make the whole group work together to survive. Things seem to be going well until another boat crashes into the island, too.
