The Elves are doing their best to respond to every letter to Santa. But some letters are easier to write than others… Six-year-old Samantha Grayson wants a daddy for Christmas and the holiday is only three weeks away. Since her attempt to match her mom up with her hockey coach hasn't worked very well, she decides to enlist the help of St. Nick. Sam’s letter makes it clear she’s willing to do her part to find a daddy, as long as St. Nick does his. Hope Grayson is content to raise her daughter Sam alone while providing nursing care for the citizens of North Pole Alaska, even in the height of flu season. But she’s horrified to discover the doctor she’ll be working with for the next few months is none other than Eli Thompson, her former lover and Sam’s biological father. Eli Thompson has never forgotten Hope or their Fairbanks Fling. Seeing her again reminds him of how good they were together and how much he’s missed her. When he discovers Sam is his daughter, Eli wants nothing more than to step into the role of being her dad. But Sam deserves a father who'll be around longer than the few weeks left of his assignment in North Pole. Hope wants to protect her daughter and her heart, but could the irresistible Eli be the perfect Christmas present for them both? less

As Marketing Director of a boutique inn in California, Willow Raine effected a positive spiritual transformation. She’d like to do the same for North Pole’s Silent Night Hotel—especially when she gets an eyeful of its dark-haired, blue-eyed heir, Grant Drummond. But he is as determined to preserve the hotel’s masculine Alaskan-pioneer tradition as Willow is determined to open it—and him—to the healing mindfulness of the twenty-first century. Grant has never met anyone as quirky, free-spirited and unpredictable as Willow Raine. Even as he tries to resist her green-eyed pull, he finds himself reconnecting with the joyous impulsiveness of his childhood, and having his belief in a concrete, provable world badly shaken. As the hotel’s Valentine’s Day Ball draws closer, Willow feels a strong force working on her. She’d planned to keep moving, spreading positivity around the world. But is her weakening resolve due to the mischievous machinations of the hotel’s legendary ghost couple? Or is it simply the considerable power of Grant Drummond and of love? less

When Ella arrives at Sled Dog Safari, Kody prepares to send her packing . . . but seeing Ella interact with her dogs touches something deep inside him, as does Ella herself. While training for the race, Ella and Kody fall slowly in love both with each other and North Pole in all its winter wonder.

Elementary school teacher Lucy Harper heads out to North Pole, desperate to leave her old life and her control-freak ex-husband behind.

Thankfully, Sheriff Deacon Stone rescues her, giving Lucy a chance to ride a snow machine, the first of many new experiences in the Alaskan Wilderness. Dealing with North Pole's recent problem with pranksters was bad enough. Deacon doesn't need the added hassle of Lucy, no matter how attractive he finds her. Yet somehow they end up working together when someone lets Rudy's reindeer loose to wander around town. A relationship is the last thing Deacon wants, yet the more time he spends with Lucy, the more intrigued he becomes. No matter what happens, she always maintains a positive attitude, making him realize how jaded he's become. Spending time with Lucy is so exhilarating that when her ex-husband manages to find her in North Pole, despite Timmy’s efforts to keep Lucy’s location a secret, Deacon is willing to put his life and his heart on the line to protect her. less
