Hearth Motel

An inherited curse has kept depressed innkeeper Simone Bristol bound to a rundown beach motel for the past six years. Just when she has a chance to break free of it, some visiting guests check in and reset the curse's clock. They may have foiled her getaway, but it turns out one of those guests could be her respite.

All preschool teacher Gillian Wright wanted was to pick up a third job so she could buy her students Christmas gifts. She didn't think she'd be the one getting picked up instead. Her new boss, Nicholas Roth, is the big man in charge at Santa Incorporated - what Gillian thought was a seasonal staffing agency. But the sexy CEO has a holly jolly secret. He's an equal opportunity employer and most of his staff are elves.

Dasha Maurice isn't in the market for a serious relationship, much less one with one of the leather-wearing fairies residing at her best friend's beach motel. Sure, Ethan Gotch is built like a linebacker and tongue-numbingly sexy, but he's also a smidge intense and has a pesky ex who insists he's her fated mate. He's not. He's Dasha's.

If Saul Ade had known that stepping into his sister's life would make him a player in the goddess Allendra's unforgiving game, he would have never left the shadows. If he doesn't accept the mate she has chosen for him by the rise of the next Blood Moon, the Sídhe will become human. Unfortunately, the woman he must make his love is a mermaid who once tried to drown his sister's human best friend. If he'd wanted a mate at all, reckless Laurel O'Cuilinn wouldn't be it.
