Rudolph Run by Alex Winters

“She thought her last chance at love had passed her by, but this Christmas, the race to romance has just begun...”

If Trent Robertson was the one that got away, then Riley Lancaster was the one that stayed behind, waiting patiently for him to return. And now that he has, life—and especially Christmas—will never be the same!

Every year, Riley Lancaster laces up her favorite pair of running shoes and heads down to the official starting line for the annual 5K Christmas race, the Rudolph Run. And every year, she waits in vain for her former racing partner, Trent Robertson, to return. And every year, he never does.

Pathetic as it is, it’s a tradition Riley just can’t give up. Even after seventeen years, as the holidays approach, Riley knows she’ll lace up—and show up—one more time. But this year promises to be different. This year, Trent is back in town to settle his father’s affairs after a tragic heart attack over Thanksgiving weekend. And he’s brought along his teenage son, Archie. The son Trent had with his high school sweetheart, Mia. And after a chance run-in with Trent, Riley realizes the past she put behind has caught up with her in a way she never could have imagined – and won’t soon forget.

You Have Ravished My Heart by Stephanie Schwartz

Is Henry really the one, chosen by God? How can Veronica be sure?

All her dreams have been dashed thus far. She only wished to live out a simple life in her Amish community, seeking God, caring for a husband and a family, being part of a loving church. Veronica cannot understand why some folks have all the bad luck. Why are some visited by tragedies while others are not? Does God pull all the strings like a giant puppeteer? Are these things predestined from all eternity? Can she trust Him while not understanding this life she finds herself living? Was having faith meant to be this hard? Will He really wipe away every tear?

Upon meeting Veronica, Henry had looked at her then and she looked at him. No words were needed. They both knew. This had been the plan for all Eternity. His plan for them. According to the world, it would seem folly. But to those that have embraced this path less trod, it couldn’t be clearer. Their gaze was interrupted by a tiny voice then. “More...please.”

Rosie looked up at both of them and smiled. She seemed to know, too.

After being publicly humiliated in the worst possible way, New York socialite and Magnolia Hotel heiress, Madison Clark, pours out her woes to a psychic. She’s given a “to-go” bag of calming tea that promises rest and relaxation, but instead Madison wakes up in an unfamiliar crappy apartment with a wallet full of maxed-out credit cards and a bank account with a zero balance.

Convinced she’s the victim of identity theft, Madison returns to the psychic’s shop, only to learn the universe – and that freaking cosmic tea – is responsible for the change. She is now living the (poor) life, and the only way to get her (rich) life back is by righting some wrongs, starting with a reconciliation with her estranged father, who is inconveniently about to get married in Montana.

Cue up the good times, because even though she’s got nothing to wear and a pathetically small amount of bills in her wallet, she has to be at the wedding because there’s no time to waste.

But things get even more upside-down when she lands in Montana and is picked up from the airport by the annoyingly attractive Jax, who seems to loathe her at first sight. He’s expecting the party girl he’s seen all over social media, and is taken aback when Madison bounces out of the airport sporting neon overalls and fishing boots. In addition to the many roadblocks of her new life, Madison suddenly finds herself outrunning cows, and competing in beer-chugging competitions while attempting parental bonding.

The more time she spends in Montana, and the more time she spends with Jax, the more she questions her “good life”. Just when things are starting to become clear someone shows up unexpectedly, and all bets are off.
