When Jason McCready and Cary Adams were thrown together on a Yuletide skiing trip meant to please their children, they struck sparks off each other immediately.

*Captain Kyle Anderson can’t believe his buddy Mike is tying the knot. And when Mike, a fellow captain in the US Air Force, asks Kyle to be his best man, of course Kyle says yes. When he flies home from Thailand, where his squadron is based, Kyle finally gets to meet the woman his friend has been talking about for a year. But what he never expected is for Gale Remington to be so...alluring. And he certainly isn’t prepared for the sparks that fly between them.
Gale is beyond happy to be marrying Mike. So why, when she meets his best man, Kyle, does her heart beat a little quicker, her breath come a little faster? He’s her fiancé’s best friend—nothing can happen between them. But nothing is certain in the theater of war, and fate may have other plans for her and Kyle.
*Happiness was along time coming for Neil Sullivan and Elizabeth, the woman he'd once promised to love forever. It took the miracle of a second chance--and the magic of the holiday season--for them to see the truth: their love could defeat any obstacle and make the future an eternal gift.
*Six years ago, the magic of Christmas had disappeared forever for Natalie Phillips. On Christmas Day, her young dreams had shattered and she'd been parted from the man she loved, Tony D'Angelo. Now Natalie was back home for the holidays. Christmastime -- a time to spend with loved ones, a time of warmth and giving, a time of peace. Unfortunately, Natalie hadn't been able to find much peace...until she saw Tony again. Suddenly the magic returned, and with it, Natalie found that, yes, there really is a Santa Claus -- and the greatest gift of all was Tony's love.
