Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

The sprinkles on top of the burnt Christmas cookie that is her life? The new owner shows up early, forcing Tilly to hide in the attic to save her job…and what remains of her dignity.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Sundays are Anthony's day to be himself. To be the woman he hides from everyone else. To be normal. When he's forced off the side of the road, though, everything changes. As soon as he sees the man rushing to the side of his wrecked car, Anthony's heart races. And not just because this man could discover his secret. When he feels his touch, Anthony's body feels like it could explode. And when the man insists on seeing him again—insists on a date—Anthony knows that he has to say no. He can't let this man into his life. He has too much to lose. But would one date really be that bad?

“Is this your makeup in the bathroom?” My heart stops. I deny it. But she knows it’s mine. I've asked her out so many times, but each time she's told me no. Until now. After our dinner, I press my luck. Maybe just one drink back at my apartment? It's my only shot. And now it’s over because I didn’t hide my makeup. She’s going to storm out, and I’ll never see her again. But she doesn’t leave. She goes to my bedroom. When she comes out, she’s holding a dress. My dress. “I want you to wear this for me.” My mouth is dry, and my whole body is trembling. I can’t do this. I...

Now he's the only witness to a murder, and the city's two most powerful crime organizations are desperate to get to him before he can testify.

I only had to wear a dress for one night. Just long enough to fool my boyfriend’s parents. I didn’t know it would change my whole life. My boyfriend hates his family. His spiteful sister and his very anti-gay mom and dad. But they’re also very rich. And if he wants his inheritance, we have to pretend to be a straight couple. That means I need wear a dress and makeup. But only one time. Just for dinner. So why do I buy more women’s clothes every time I watch one of these silly videos that comes to my inbox? And why am I flying to a clinic that promises to help me become who I’m ...

My wife wants a daughter. But we’ve tried everything. There’s just no way… I knew touring the new high school would be hard on her. Now we’re in the cafeteria, and she’s in tears. She wishes she had a daughter who could go to school here, and I wish I could give her that. But wishes don’t come true, do they? I laugh when I open the mail a week later. A letter confirming my registration? As a high school sophomore? Whatever. I’m 33 and long past graduation, so I toss it aside. But maybe I shouldn’t ignore it. Maybe I should go to the office and clear this up. Maybe I should ...

Parker knew her life would change when she came out as a trans woman. But she never expected to be forced into an arranged marriage. Years ago, her parents made a deal with a crime family — the hand of their first-born daughter for the money to expand their business. They were a young couple. Already with one child, and a daughter on the way. But when that pregnancy ended in miscarriage — when they could never conceive again — it seemed they would never fulfill their end of the bargain. That changed when Parker told them her secret. Now, Parker is being forced to go on a date with a ...

I'm always the joke. Always the one people laugh at. But when my best friend invites me to one of the auctions he loves so much, I know it's my chance to impress him. He'll never think of me in the same way again. Benz is always talking about these silly auctions. He brags about all the gems he finds scattered in the junk, but I never believe him until I see the chest. It looks like it's been through so much. Traveling across oceans, wars, marriages. I just know it has a story. Spotting this will finally get Benz to respect me. But if it's so special, why am I the only one bidding? When I ...

She's living the life she was meant to have. And Jeremy is nothing more than a painful lesson. Just life’s way of teaching her she can never trust anyone, no matter how much her heart insists.

This research study is the answer to my prayers. The only thing that will keep me from failing psychology. Extra credit, and all I have to do is get 4 injections? But why won’t they tell me what the shots do? It’s my sophomore year of college, and I don't know if I’m cut out for this. I don’t have any friends. My grades have gone from bad to worse. And no matter how much I study, nothing sinks in. Then there’s my advisor. Everyone thinks he’s great. The girls think he’s so hot. I think he’s annoying. Telling me to sign up for tutoring. Like I’m some kid. When I see the ...

I dream of him night after night. He's dressed in a tuxedo that I'm sure cost more than my first car, while I'm wearing a sparkling black gown. But there are two problems with these dreams. First, I've never seen this man before. And second—I'm a man. My first day at my new job, I'm stressed. My bills are so far past due that I know the collection agents by name. If this job doesn't work out, my gas and electric will be shut off. So I'm already on edge. Then I see him. The man from my dreams. How can this be? How have I dreamed of him when this is my first time meeting him? Over the next ...

"You're mine, girl. And I'll do whatever I want with you. Do you understand?" I’ve loved him since I first saw him, but I thought he could never love someone like me. That all changed when he invited me to the club, and I saw the kind of girl he’s attracted to. Now I’m sitting in my car wearing a dress and makeup. My entire body shakes as he comes closer. And when he sees me, we both freeze. We’re each about to experience a side of the other that we’ve never seen. Years of friendship haven’t prepared us for this. Is either of us ready for what comes next?

I've been in love with him for nearly twenty years, but I've always hidden it. Just like I've hidden my true self. But when I find out he's coming to my town, I know this is my chance. He doesn't know this version of me—the real me. So when I walk up to him wearing a dress and with my long hair done perfectly, he doesn't recognize me. And when his eyes drift down my body, I know I've got him. Just like I planned. I've been heart-broken and alone since he walked out the door. He never gave me the chance to tell him the way I felt, and I've never forgiven him for that. Now, I'm going to ...

I never imagined one ride would transform my life. After struggling for years, I finally have one shot. One chance to prove myself. But when my car sputters and dies 2000 miles from where I need to be, my dream might as well be dead too. I walk inside the lonely bar, hoping to find a mechanic. Instead I find him. The man behind the bar who makes my breath stop every time I look at him. The man who sees the real me. The man who will take me places I only fantasized about. When he offers to drive me across the country, I should know there's a catch. When he hands me that little pink bag, I ...

I’m always so careful. How did he find out I wear panties under my suits? And why is he offering me a job? The gorgeous secretary steps off the elevator and walks toward me. Everyone else drools over her body. I just feel sick with envy. She reminds me of everything I can never have. Everything I can never be. As she hands me the note, I know it has to be a mistake. There’s no way the head of marketing asked to see me. When I knock on his door, I know he’ll tell me I’m the wrong person. He can’t possibly want me. Instead… he tells me he knows the true me. The one I’ve kept ...
