Summary

When love and lights collide, two wounded souls find their way through the darkness.

 
Clove Evergreen is the queen of Christmas in Honor Valley. Passionate about community and connection, she has her eyes set on winning the neighborhood Christmas Light competition—earning nationwide acclaim and prize money for military families' programs. There's just one problem; the darkened, lightless, soulless house across the street where her nemesis lives. 

 
Miles Winston, a military sniper haunted by a life-altering mistake, lives across the street from the brightest house in the neighborhood. He wants no part in the light show when he'd prefer to remain shrouded in darkness. Too bad his neighbor is determined to cast him in the spotlight, pinning him with those enigmatic eyes of hers and stealing his breath with those shining smiles. But Miles isn't prepared to let go of the shame that has made him cling to the shadows. Not even while Clove keeps showing up trying to drag him into the light. 

 
Despite their growing attraction, the friction between Clove's luminescent optimism and Miles' muted sorrow creates an emotional tug-of-war. Clove believes that light and love can heal all wounds, while Miles wrestles with the notion that some scars are too deep for any brightness to reach. Their contrasting worldviews reach a boiling point when Clove's well-intentioned attempts to include Miles in the neighborhood festivities backfire, risking their burgeoning relationship and forcing them to confront whether they can ever truly reconcile their differences. Will they find a way to merge their worlds, or will they remain prisoners of their past, one bathed in light, the other in perpetual shadow?
 
Love on a Holy Night is a part of the Honor Valley Holiday romances; a heartwarming, small town, military romance series that explores the power of love, growth, and healing set during the most magical time of the year! These stories are short and sweet -the perfect length for an afternoon pick me up or an evening escape before bedtime!

    Fire Maidens: the sizzling, suspenseful series finale, with dragons, demons, and destined mates! 
    WINNER - PNR GUILD REVIEWER'S CHOICE AWARD - BEST VAMPIRES & SHIFTERS BOOK & best SERIES! 
    Bear shifter Heath Cauley figured his latest bodyguarding gig would be the usual — social gatherings, public events, and a bratty, entitled heiress to endure. He wasn’t expecting a stubborn, independent Fire Maiden with a fiery attitude and a hell of a left hook. And he sure wasn’t expecting sparks to fly from the moment they meet. 
    Dragon shifter Claudia Kaiser is determined to fulfill her destiny as a Fire Maiden, no matter what the risk. She’s a protector, not a damsel in distress. But not everyone sees it that way, so she can’t make a move without a detail of bodyguards hot on her heels. That includes the intriguing — er, annoying — new guy with golden-brown eyes and a mysterious past. 
    Meanwhile, a treacherous enemy plots to release unfathomable evil locked away beneath the snow and ice of the highest Alpine peaks. It will take teamwork, unsavory informants, and swallowed pride for Claudia and Heath not just to survive, but to save the continent from a terrible fate.
