A Halloween Tail

Chrissy Munder

Summary

Good things come in strange packages.
Lionel Baker knows his life is heavy on the crazy. With an unused degree in IT, student loan debt his job as waiter barely covers, and a history of unfortunate dating choices, he pushes back with all the sass and snark he can muster. With the dreaded, family gathering season approaching, Halloween is the perfect time to find his next, new boyfriend before his dragon of an aunt decides to play matchmaker. 
But when his older sister guilts him into taking his niece Trick-or-Treating rather than heading to the bar, and insists he wears her idea of a family-friendly costume, Lionel is sure he's lost his window of opportunity. Then he meets Kyle. Kyle's looking for his nephew who has run off in the crowd but finds Lionel instead. Does fate have a trick or a treat in store for them?

Turning Wood: Otho Newcomer moved to the small village of Snowmelt to mend his broken heart in solitude.

Now, two years later, instead of living their happily ever after, they hardly see the other awake, and Victor fears he and Jian have already drifted too far apart. The holiday season is a time for hope, but when Victor comes home to find Jian with a plan to woo him for Christmas, is it too little, too late?

The Setup: Dax doesn't want to see anyone and isn't pleased when a stranger turns in on his driveway, claiming he's there for a date. Ellis risked his neck driving in the snow to meet his friend for a double date, but when Dax says he's never agreed to a date, they realize they've been played. Since there's a snowstorm, Dax invites Ellis to stay the night, but how to get their revenge for the setup?

Once in a Snowstorm: Daring a snowstorm might not be the smartest thing Aiden Evans has done, but with only a few days to Christmas, he doesn't want to be alone.

Aiden is going crazy from Tristan's attitude, but will a steamy night with the surly lumberjack change his mind about leaving?

Award-winning author Anna Burke returns to Seal Cove in this long-awaited third romance that is perfect for fans of small-town, friends-to-lovers, and one-bed romantic tropes. 
 
 
 
Helping animals for a living? Check. 
 
 
 
Having the best friends in the world? Check. 
 
 
 
Falling in love with one of those friends? Um . . . Check. 
 
 
 
Stevie has everything she wants, except the one thing that matters most: her friend and roommate, Angie. But the shadows of Angie's past have a long reach, and even though everyone in the small town of Seal Cove knows Stevie and Angie have been in love for years, none of that matters if Angie herself isn't willing to take the risk. 
 
 
 
Risk, as far as Angie is concerned, equals loss. She once risked everything by telling the truth—and that ended badly. Very badly. Friendship is the only thing that has ever worked out for her. She can't afford to lose Stevie—even at the expense of her own happiness. 
 
 
 
However, when their other roommates move out of the house, each finds it harder and harder to resist their feelings. Angie must decide if the scars of her past will dictate her future, and Stevie will need to accept that sometimes, people need to save themselves.
