Aspen revives a gift from a secret admirer. She had no idea who the gifts could be coming from. With Christmas quickly approaching and her hunch on the gifts being related to the 12 days of Christmas her time to figure out her mystery man is getting shorter. * * * UNEDITED

Laurel McKenzie is: Daughter to: Emily & Drew McKenzie Sister to: Brandon McKenzie Granddaughter to: Alison and Ryan Anderson On paper Laurel McKenzie seemed to have it all, but she was far from perfect. She so desperately wanted to look like her mother, Emily. The perfect woman her dad would always call her mom. Laurel was 5'6 160lbs and very self-conscious about herself. While she was far from big, she had curves and curves sometimes weren't such a good thing when you are in a sea of skinnies and the boy who has your heart doesn't give you a second glance. She had been in love with Lucas Stevens since she could remember. Star athlete, quarterback and an all American boy. Lucas Stevens was all that and more. With multiple ladies at his disposal in school things were getting less challenging. That is until he needed a tutor for Calculus and answered an add that was pinned to the library board. When he gets paired up with Laurel they of course butt heads at first. His friends make his tutoring sessions a little more interesting in betting Lucas he can't get anywhere romantically with Laurel. He takes that bet, but as time goes on and he gets to know Laurel McKenzie, he starts to develop feelings. Will he be able to call off the bet before she finds out or will she find out that Lucas is far from perfect too? Cover by: still_just_me Banners bu: still_just_me

The second I saw her my skin heated and heart skipped a beat. I knew I had to know who she was. I knew I just needed to be near her. After my horrible marriage I knew getting involved with anyone was the worst thing I could possibly do. The problem was the girl of my dreams was standing right in-front of me partially guarded. She knew my family and knew about my past which should scare me away, but it doesn't it only draws me closer to her. My brother is getting married, I'm the best man, she's the maid of honor. If I screw this up even a little bit everyone is going to have my ass. The second I saw him my mouth went dry. His sculpted arms in that t-shirt covered in ink, my body was telling me to run the other way, to not get involved with this gorgeous dangerous man with a military past. Those gorgeous blue eyes however pulled me in and saw right through every part of me. He's my best friends soon to be brother-in-law, and I have legal custody of a child that isn't mine. Nobody wants to be with a single mom these days, what makes him any different?

This would be number 3 in the One Last Shot series but this is Addison and Houston's daughter Braelynn. Everyone just wanted to use her to get to her Dad or Brother, nobody wanted her for the beautiful human she was. She finally finds someone that just wants her and fights it every step of the way. It's when she finally gives in and allows herself to feel, things fall into place for Braelynn. Join me on this short story following Braelynn through college and a boy she falls hard for. Thank you so much Idontwantanacc0unt1 for this amazing idea!! I'm excited for everyone to start reading and enjoying this new set of characters, and yes Brent's will be next! Rated M for a couple XX scenes and some language!

Well we all remember Houston and Addison. This is all about their best friends Anthony and Brielle, their love story. The ins and outs of modern day technology bringing people together and ultimately finding love. Brielle's parents are overly controlling and think since she is the only child of two big time laywers, that they can do whatever they want when it comes to interfering with her life. The firecracker that she is doesn't like this at all and finds it in herself to fight back after years of not being able to. Anthony born and raised in Tennessee with his sister and parents that have been divorced for quite some time, and don't get along, doesn't believe love actually exists. That is until he finds her. All it takes is one crazy night after winning the Stanley Cup to throw both of their lives into a loop. Will this tear them apart or bring them together?

COVER CREDIT - @mahgadahling When play boy hot shot Houston Davis had no choice but to turn his act around or lose his NHL contract. The last thing he expected was his PR and management team to come up with something so absurd that it would actually work. Would it work so well that he would break the contract they made filled with rules? Addison Jones, single mom of two kids, eight-year-old Brent Lee, and three-year-old Braelynn Rose, recently separated from her children's father. She never expected an opportunity of a lifetime to be set in front of her while grabbing her morning coffee. Let alone all the amazing things that contract would lead to.
