Snowed In With A Stranger - Brenda Harlen

One stormy night. Two complete strangers. A road map to...love?

For busy event planner Finley Gilmore, returning to Oakland is imperative to her business. Until an unrelenting snowstorm hits and Finley is stranded in the last available room at a roadside motel. When Lachlan Kellet offers to share food in exchange for letting him crash on her spare bed, Finley knows the handsome professor poses no threat. But Finley is wary...of her intense attraction to him.

Their innocent night together snowballs into an impromptu road trip home and Finley’s feelings only deepen as she gets to know Lachlan better. But the divorced dad’s world comes with unexpected complications — like a daughter who isn’t sure she’s ready for her father to fall in love again. Romance isn’t Finley’s strong suit. Can she trust in love and find happily-ever-after?

Melting The Surgeon’s Heart - Becky Wicks

Can she thaw his frozen heart?

Haunted by his father’s infamous financial crimes, renal surgeon Gunnar Johansson has sworn off marriage and children. He won’t subject anyone else to an entire country’s scorn! Isolating himself, he volunteers for Reykjavik’s Search and Rescue. But new paramedic Mahlia is a temptation he never saw coming! Soon her warmth and courage when battling Iceland’s harshest elements — and her own painful past — threaten to melt his icy resolve...

High Mountain Terror - Janice Kay Johnson

Surviving an avalanche has them in a terrorist’s crosshairs...

Deep in the rugged Washington mountains, nature photographer Ava Brevick inadvertently takes a wanted terrorist’s picture. His men start an avalanche to kill her, but she escapes — and saves investigating detective Zach Reeves from icy death. As a snowstorm cuts them off, she and Zach challenge merciless terrain to warn authorities. But will trusting each other prove an even deadlier trap?

The author of more than ninety books for children and adults, Janice Kay Johnson writes about love and family - about the way generations connect and the power our earliest experiences have on us throughout life.  An eight time finalist for the Romance Writers of America RITA award, she won a RITA in 2008 for her Superromance novel Snowbound.  A former librarian, Janice raised two daughters in a small town north of Seattle, Washington. Brenda Harlen is a multi-award winning author for Harlequin Special Edition who has written over 25 books for the company. Becky Wicks was born in 1979. She attended the Gleed School for Girls, also known as 'The Virgin Megastore' in small town Spalding, Lincolnshire, England. She studied media production at Lincoln University, but was writing freelance from the age of 14. She arrived in NYC in 2001 at age 21. She worked for a production company and wrote for a NYC restaurant guide, as well as a Brooklyn community mag (also dated the editor, who broke her heart). Back in London, from 2004 she worked for a travel and entertainment dot com which led her to theatre-land, interviewing West end actors and reviewing more restaurants.
