He’s a demon on the ice. She’s hell-bent on resisting him. But Christmas in Hope’s Turn has other plans.
A standalone hockey holiday romance in the small town of Hope’s Turn from NYT and USA Today bestseller Marie Harte.
Best goalie in the league, Damon “Demon” Sinclair, didn’t plan to spend his holidays helping his parents recover from a car accident while on the mend himself, recuperating from a knee injury. But when the meanest, hottest woman he’s seen in a long time dumps her loser of an ex in public, he’s found a new reason to celebrate.
Marlie Reynolds is sharp, sexy, and not impressed by his pro hockey fame—or the heat in his appealingly rough looks, serial-killer stare, and mounds of muscle. She’s a dedicated teacher and sister to three hockey fanatic brothers. She’s been around her share of charmers in skates before.
Too bad Damon’s not just good at playing games in the rink. He’s got his sights set on Marlie, and he’s more than willing to play dirty—in the best possible way.
With stray kittens, late-night practices, and one too many “accidental” body checks, their chemistry threatens to turn their sweet, small-town Christmas into a full-blown scorcher.
Full of holiday hijinks, laugh-out-loud banter, and sizzling romance on and off the ice, A Christmas Keeper is the perfect cozy escape with enough heat to melt even the frostiest heart.
Reaper vampire Khent of the Night Bloode meets his match in a pretty human who can raise the dead. But against a ruthless necromancer and his army of unstoppable evil, will they live long enough to admit their love?
He met her in battle, a mysterious human who dared challenge him.
Then he dreamed of her—though vampires don’t dream.
With meddling gods, a spreading darkness, and time not on their side, Khent and the Night Bloode have little room for distraction. A reaper—only the strongest, sharpest, and deadliest of all the vampire tribes—Khent has little patience for humans, least of all the pretty necromancer who once defied him.
But when fate throws Valentine in his path, vengeance turns to reluctant alliance. Together, they must hunt an evil creature who owes her a life debt and stop the god of pestilence, war, and death from consuming the world.
Valentine hides dangerous secrets.
So does Khent.
Yet amid chaos and betrayal, he can’t escape her lovely eyes and her infuriating smile. Mating is the last thing he wants—until the beast inside decides otherwise.
What’s not to love about:
Friends-to-lovers
Fake-dating
A quirky cast of characters
He needs a fake girlfriend to get his mother off his case.
As a licensed mental health professional, Xavier knows pretending to date someone is ridiculous. But it's all he can come up with to protect his heart from the one woman capable of breaking it. Meeting Justine has shown him that he can be friends with a woman without involving sex. Except the temptation to be more than friends with her is killing him.
Justine is trying to grow a backbone around her family, her boss, and her ex. But it's exhausting. Getting her new friend and neighbor, Xavier, to be her plus-one to her sister's wedding might give her a little breathing room to figure out her life. Until she finds herself falling for a man who's kind, thoughtful, and ah-may-zzzzing between the sheets.
Unfortunately, she's only subletting her apartment, and if things with Xavier don't go well, she'll be out a relationship and a home. She made that mistake with her last boyfriend. But as Justine and Xavier grow closer, she has to wonder, is she repeating the past all over again?
