5 Golden Flings

Ms. Tinsel is hitting the road with her wishing ornaments and the magic of Christmas is about to arrive... Five ornaments-each unique, fragile, and destined to bring a special couple together for the holidays. A dragon. A heart split in two. A bell. A snow globe. A lantern. Each is a catalyst sparking romance and Christmas magic in the lives of those who need it the most. Celebrate the magic of Christmas with this original collection from New York Times Bestselling Authors Linda Howard and Linda Winstead Jones, Andrea Laurence, Kira Sinclair, and Scarlett Nox. Stranger Danger by Linda Howard Nova Shelley has a good life and a successful business; and it satisfied until a chance encounter with an unusual woman bring a dragon ornament into her hands. The magic ornament opens her eyes to the precariousness of everything she‘s built, and intuition sends Nova on a quest through the southwest desert to take matters into her own hands and grab for her happiness. A Christmas Crush by Linda Winstead Jones Facing the holiday season without a job or even a spark of romantic possibility, Molly feels her Christmas spirit dimming. She looks forward to a change of scenery at her friend‘s wedding, an escape to a beach resort that promises much needed distraction. What she doesn‘t anticipate is baseball star Ben Crusher, her long lost childhood sweetheart. Surely he‘s moved on, forgotten her, and extinguished any lingering flame of young love... or has he? Lifting Her Spirits by Andrea Laurence Alice Jordan is in desperate need of a man. More specifically, the man in the big, red suit. The Santa from Rosewood‘s Annual Christmas Parade has been unavoidably detained by the sheriff, and as the coordinator of all the town events, Alice only has one week to find his replacement. Foster Robinson is not a fan of Christmas or the small, Alabama town he grew up in. When his father gets arrested and put under his watch for house arrest, he finds himself back home at the most inconvenient time of year. The beautiful, red-headed Alice is just the pleasurable distraction he needs. As the clock ticks down to the parade, they‘re both too happy to slip their clothes off. But can Alice and the magic of Christmas convince Foster to put the Santa suit on? A Snowball‘s Chance in Sweetheart by Kira Sinclair The last person Autumn Keating, event planner extraordinaire, wants to work with is the man who broke her heart. Noah Woodson isn‘t exactly keen on the idea either, especially considering he‘s knee-deep in the unexpected death of his NFL quarterback career. But when Noah hands Autumn a magical Christmas ornament, she makes an off-handed wish...which just might bring them both a second chance at forever. The Hidden Holiday by Scarlett Nox Brynn returns to Thornbury Woods at the holidays not to visit family, but to avenge the family she lost. An ice storm at Christmas-time is the perfect cover to sneak into her childhood home and search for the evidence left behind by her father long ago. Colby Shephard‘s rescue efforts end with him stranded at the old Asher homestead. The last thing he expects to find after digging through the ice and snow was his childhood friend, all grown up with sex appeal and secrets galore. His offer to help her uncover the truth about the past may lead to the most dangerous Christmas ever.
