[2021 WATTYS Shortlist] When the heir to Christmas falls for a girl who hates the holiday, he risks losing his birthright to a trickster cousin unless he can melt her bah-humbug heart. * * * With his pet reindeer, grumpy gnome friends, and perpetual Yuletide cheer, Nick is the most eligible bachelor in the Arctic Circle. He's also the envy of his cousin Piet, who wants nothing more than to destroy the holiday forever. And how better to poison the heart of the most festive man in the reach of the aurora borealis than getting him to fall in love with woman who hates Christmas more than anyone else in the world? Noelle Nixon is "one of those" people. Everyone knows one: someone who lives for sun, surf, and palm trees, someone who'd rather be in perpetual vacation mode, and someone who'd gladly skip from Halloween directly to Easter rather than having to deal with the gloom, stress, and forced cheer of the "holiday season." When magical scheming during the winter equinox between a vengeful Black Buck and a clever Frost Fairy forces this New York City violinist to travel across the North Atlantic for a private holiday concert, the pure, unsuspecting Nick will risk losing his claim on Christmas in favor of his heart unless Noelle's one flaw is a deal breaker to what would otherwise be a perfect match.

After two years of marriage, Sharon and Max are contemplating divorce. She's a perfectionist. He's not. She's mature and responsible. He's childish and carefree. A little vacation to Sharon's home country and an intervention from a jovial uncle help reignite their spark, until Sharon's little accident causes her to develop amnesia and Max is forced to grow up and be the adult in the relationship. When Max's doubts resurface and Sharon's absentee mother comes into the picture, things are about to get a whole lot worse-or just maybe, a whole lot better. *** 🏆Ambys 2024 favourite: Contemporary Lit category

Chasing calamity, dark and unruly, perfecting the art of an undetectable midnight slaughter ... introducing, the Wolfe family. Rising above the elite, cunning and refined, perfecting the art of self established royalty ... introducing, the Luxton family. The infamous Wolfe family is known for two things: their vicious and unparalleled skill at assassinations ... and their vicious and unparalleled hatred for the Luxton family, the city's wealthiest citizens by standards that reach halfway around the globe. The history between these two families is decades long and no force on earth could convince a Wolfe to trust a Luxton ... until a man that both families value is found dead. It may have been considered an unfortunate accident, if it were not for the unexplainable mysteries surrounding his death - a ransacked room, devious suspects, and a considerable motive that suggests this was no ordinary death. It was murder. Thus brings together these rivaling powerhouses in the most unexpected way. In one corner is Valencia Wolfe, a young mercenary with a proud killing streak and the expectations of her family's reputation on her shoulders. In the other corner is Bellerose Luxton, the heir to his father's empire and Val's next victim. But a contract to kill becomes a contract of protection when this rich boy convinces his killer to join him in proving a plot of betrayal. What unfolds next is a battle of wits, winner collects untold riches of the world's greatest hidden treasure and loser gets the grave. Now it is up to these two unlikely allies to navigate tropes of danger, secret societies, snobby rich kids, timeless adventure that combines past forbidden love with present, and ... buried treasure? Join the hunt of a lifetime and follow alongside the characters as they solve clues, chase murderers, fall in love, and risk their lives for fame. And if YOU choose to seek this fortune, begin by answering this simple question ... Can you solve my riddle?

❝Let's be more acceptable. Let's not judge a short dress. Let's not judge a lot of makeup. Let's not judge liking sex. Let's not judge her choosing herself over her kids/husband. Let's make it okay to love yourself. At this moment, I can just hope and pray, and do my bit. But I am hopeful. I hope society changed and we didn't end up breaking the branch we've been sitting on.❞ These are a hundred letters to my older self, because if I can do it now, I'll do it then. The only thing I need in it, is myself.
