I need a man. Just for the holidays...Skin care is my life. My business, my baby. I don't have time for a relationship. In fact, I don't even want one. As one of seven children, the last thing I want is marriage and kids. I enjoy my single life, thoroughly-thank you very much. When I'm faced with yet another year of questions from well-meaning relatives, I decide a little white lie won't hurt anyone, and say I'm dating. Actually, I tell them I'm quite serious about an imaginary man I dub, 'Liam'. Not my finest hour.It starts out quite innocent at first, but as the lie grows, I find myself promising that Liam will be joining us for Thanksgiving. But, that's fine. I can just tell them he's busy-or we broke up-and then I can insist I don't want to talk about it and live to fight another day. Right? The plan seems workable until my mother calls to warn me about the 'surprise' my great aunt has for us-a month-long holiday cruise. Sounds like Paradise, but add the fact that she's already bought myself and my imaginary boyfriend non-refundable tickets, I'm faced with admitting I was lying, or...finding myself a stand-in.I'll bet you already know what I decide...Mine for the Holidays is the first full-length novel by Megan Wade. It contains all of her usual sugary goodness, and of course comes with her Sugar Promise-high heat, low drama, guaranteed.
California girl Ashley Turner never had much of a Christmas growing up. No chimney for Santa to climb down, or even much of a home. Now, thanks to a transatlantic house swap, she’s finally getting the proper London Christmas she’s always wanted, complete with snow and Christmas pudding. But she never expected Santa to deliver a sexy stranger straight to her borrowed bed. Naked. For game designer Oliver Stansfeld, Christmas holds nothing but difficult memories. He can’t wait to swap his London flat and spend the holidays in sunny California, as far away as possible from wassail and cheeriness. But when an ice storm grounds his plane, he returns to his flat to find his bed already occupied by the pretty schoolteacher from San Diego. The least he can do is show his houseguest where to find the perfect Christmas tree before he leaves. As the ice melts and flights resume, things are heating up between them. Ashley’s looking to create her perfect Christmas dream, while Oliver wants to escape his Christmas nightmares. Is he willing to let go of the past and risk his heart on a lifetime of steamy Christmas kisses under the mistletoe? “I couldn’t stop laughing, sighing and silently cheering these two on as they try not to fall in love.” —Romancing Rakes for the Love of Romance Note: This book was originally published in 2013 and was a Romance Writers of America® RITA® Award finalist for Best Romance Novella

It's merrier and brighter than the North Pole. The town even comes with its own Mr. Holiday-Noel Holiday, that is. Not only is he holly and jolly but he's hotter than the lattes he sells at his café. And for some reason he would love nothing more than to share the magic of the season with me. Unfortunately, this little trip of mine isn't exactly filled with good cheer. But Noel's kisses have a way of making me believe in Christmas miracles. And a miracle might be exactly what it takes to keep the holidays from being ruined forever. "Merry Christmas to me!

"Why Mining?" Professor Leslie Crouch asked the Author when being interviewed at the beginning of Third Year Engineering at the University of British Columbia in 1948. Giving an answer saying something like "...having always lived in or near mining towns, I enjoyed the people." It was a pretty lame answer but it was the best that could be given at the time. The Author's bibliography covers employment in Sheep Creek Gold Mines, Malartic Goldfields, Steep Rock Iron Mines, Rockiron, IMC, Cominco and Texasgulf Kidd Creek of a period of 35 years and then consulting on his own for 17 years. In his career, mining activities took him to many of the states in the US as well as all provinces and territories in Canada and to foreign assignments in Scandinavia, China and Kazakhstan. The question of "Why Mining?" is finally resolved or concluded in the Epilogue... "What other endevour could provide more fun than Mining? Mining had everything one would ever want in a career. There was travel, there was money to spend, there was money to be made, but most of all, there were people." Perhaps the answer given in 1948 was not too far off-the-mark because the Author did mention he enjoyed the people. This biography of a mining engineer's career (spanning the years of 1948 to 2000, a period of over 50 years) is about the "Mining People" met in the pursuit of his profession.
