description: If Only in My Dreams Christmas Stories, Volume One Icecapade Though he leaves FBI Agent Robert Cuffe a drunken phone message every New Year’s Eve, former jewel thief Noel Snow hasn’t seen or heard from his ex-lover and old arch-adversary in a decade. So he’s thrilled when Robert shows up at his upstate farm one Christmas Eve. Elation quickly turns to alarm when Robert accuses Noel of being responsible for a recent rash of diamond heists. Innocent of the crimes, and still as attracted as ever to the oh-soserious lawman, Noel plans a second seduction—providing he can stay out of jail long enough! Baby, It’s Cold Talk about Kitchen Nightmares! TV Chef Rocky and Foodie Blogger Jesse have been pals forever, so it should have been the most natural thing in the world to kick their relationship up a notch. Instead, it turned out to be a disaster. But Christmas is the season of love, and someone’s cooking up a sweet surprise… The Dickens with Love Three years ago, a scandal cost antiquarian book hunter James Winter everything that mattered to him: his job, his lover, and his self-respect. But now the rich and unscrupulous Mr. Stephanopoulos has a proposition. A previously unpublished Christmas book by Charles Dickens has turned up in the hands of an English chemistry professor by the name of Sedgwick Crisparkle. Crisparkle turns out to be totally gorgeous -- and on the prowl. Faster than you can say “Old Saint Nick,” James is mixing business with pleasure -- and in real danger of forgetting that this is just a holiday romance. A Case of Christmas Christmas on Catalina Island—it’s just what the doctor ordered. Injured in the line of duty, FBI Special Agent Shane Donovan is longing for a few days of peace and quiet. Some nice meals, a couple of good books, and maybe a bottle of the best. No family, no friends, no fa la la la la…just a little time on his own to think things through. But an offshore storm, a geriatric treasure hunter, and the guy who dumped him without a word two years earlier are about to unwrap all Shane’s carefully laid holiday plans. Lone Star Growing up in Texas, Mitchell Evans’ ambition to be a dancer made him a target. Though he found success in New York City, Mitch is at a crossroads, and heads home for the first time in twelve years to figure things out. When what appears to be a reindeer jumps out in front of his car, he drives off the road and into the path of Texas Ranger Web Eisley. The attraction between them is as strong as ever, and it doesn’t take long for the men to pick up where they left off. But is love enough to keep Mitch in town in the New Year?
