Good evening, Honeys!

First off, HAPPY HANUKKAH to all those of you who celebrate the holiday. May the light of love and resilience always shine on you, no matter what life throws your way. Light over darkness always!

How in the world are you all? Is your December going smoothly, or is it as chaotic as mine has been? And I'm not talking about buying gifts or grocery shopping for the family meals. I'm so busy with work, my head is spinning. I hope you're doing better than I am. :)

I have three pre-Christmas gifts to share with you today. First, here's the URL (click on the title) to pre-order LOVE WINS: Stories of Heat, Heart, and Hope. You'll find links to SIX (6) online book vendors, including Amazon.

Second, this month's book recommendations come from the pens---well, keyboards---of another of our anthology authors, Harper Black. This is a duology that follows the story of Rosamunde "Taylor" Sawyer and Mike Knight through both books. For that reason, expect a cliffhanger, but if you love books about adults over 40, don't mind a slow burn start, and enjoy modern-day white knights helping the women they love find comfort for their hurting, you'll love this two-fer. The links are in the titles below the images.

Rosamunde's Knight and The Heart of a Knight are both available on Amazon.

Finally, a teaser from Magic Moments, Book 6 of my "Twelfth Day of Christmas Romance" series. It's scheduled to be published on January 5, 2026. As you know, I alternate a man or a woman on the cover each time, and this time, it's a guy's turn. I'm still working on the cover, but I do have two possibilities. Which of these men (2 are of the same guy) do you think looks more like a college professor?

Things to know: His name is Jackson Blake, he's African American, and he's 55 years old. His love interest has been "the one" since they were in their twenties. Now, fate has brought them together again via her oldest child, who has become more than his star student. Her mother, now a widow, gets a do-over with him.

Here's the teaser ...

Afternoon sunlight dappled the path he took, sending splashes of warm golden light across the tree-shaded walkway. His mind drifted back over the decades, past the places he’d lived, the people he’d met, to the woman he had never stopped loving. Diana Cameron was the only woman he had felt instantaneous, mind-melting attraction to, and their fiery connection had grown into something more, something mature beyond their years, something he’d thought would last forever.

But that had only been true for him.

I'd love to hear from you which of the two men looks more like Jackson Blake. My original choice was a gorgeous dude for whom I could find NO image rights, so sadly, I had to let that dream die. It would be great if you could help me decide which of these to purchase from Deposit Photos.

The next time I reach out to you, it will be 2026. I wish you a joyous, well-loved, wonderful holiday season.

À bientôt,

KT
