STORY BLURBS:
MISSION MISTLETOE
by Lori Avocato
When an Air Force nurse falls
out of a helicopter (don't even ask!) she thinks that's the worse that
could happen. That is, until the paratrooper who parachutes into the
desert to save her is none other than the cocky-as-hell guy with jet black
hair, Newman blue eyes, and teeth she's convinced are Da Vinci porcelain
-- because no one was born with such a perfect smile -- she's been calling
"Slick." Sure, he's a damn good looker, but he'd been following
her around the base for weeks -- and now falls from the sky with a sprig
of Mistletoe in his pocket!
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A
MARINE
by Tara Nina
Locate, identify, observe, and
report that’s what Staff Sergeant Mitch Sinclair’s squad of Force
Recon Marines did best. When the objective shifts, it becomes an
extraction of a hostage Mitch will never forget and it’s up to him to
fulfill her Christmas wish.
TIED WITH A BOW
By Anne Elizabeth
According to EOD Specialist
Captain Devin Walds, love and bombs have a lot in common. First, it
is vital to know the inner and outer workings of both. Second,
understanding when and how to get the job done is absolutely crucial.
Third, believing it is worth risking your life is mandatory. For
Kathryn Mary Pente, he would do anything. From the first moment he
saw her, he knew she was extraordinary. It wasn't just her unusual
artistic talent or her daring beauty, this was a woman who fought for what
was right, and she was worth living...and dying for.
CHRISTMAS TO THE RESCUE
By Lia DeAngelo
Petty Officer Annabelle Foster
lives her job as a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer stationed in Kodiak, Alaska.
Until she meets the most delicious sugar cookie snowman ever created, and
its equally decadent creator, Food Service specialist, Tony Lombardi.
Little does she realize that one snowy mission on a patrol boat
decked in lights and holly will lead to one romantic treat after another,
and the sweetest rescue of all—her own.
THE STOCKING
by DC DeVane
Marcy Grayson had been in love
with Paul Callahan for years. She'd dreamed of a proposal, a ring,
and a happily-ever-after since the day she first met him. The winter
holidays always brought out the romantic in her, and in him, but how could
she possibly have guessed that love—and a 'Proposal Paul Style'—would
involve a dog, a rubber raft, and the Army Rangers.
