About the book
A Man to Live For As far as Francine was concerned, she and Gile Lapotaire were strangers thrown together by chance on a romantic train journey through Europe. Why, then, did the handsome French-Swiss banker seem to know so much about her -- and despise her for it?
Yule Tide Judith's marriage to Nick Campion had been brief and turbulent. But, two days before Christmas, she found herself making her way to her childhood home with her estranged husband. The journey was destined to be stormy -- and not just because of the terrible weather!
Christmas Charade Going home for Christmas was always a joy for Nina -- apart from facing her father's annual matchmaking efforts! But this year it would be different. What she needed was a temporary fiance...and gorgeous, sophisticated Fenton Hardwick was the perfect candidate!
Mistletoe Kisses Kael Craigen claimed he still loved Jazmin, but could she forget his betrayal five years ago? Visiting her former home in Sydney for Christmas brought back memories of her past love for him -- would a kiss under the mistletoe rekindle their passion?
