He's one unexpected alien with two special presents... just for me. Taking a shortcut through a stone circle after my car breaks down one Christmas Eve seems like a great idea. But instead of making it safely home, I collapse in the snow and black out. The last thing I expect to wake up to is a giant, purple, and very naked alien man holding me in his arms. And... sniffing me? He's stuck here for the night, so I do the intergalactic neighborly thing and open my home to him. I didn't expect to fall into his arms again after he decorates my Christmas tree, but it feels like my stocking's been extra stuffed when he reveals he's brought me not one, but two special packages to enjoy. Earth isn't safe for him, though, and after tonight, he has to leave. There's only one problem—he's my mate and I don't want to let him go.

As Christmas approaches, not everyone is kissing under the mistletoe. Sometimes, life gets in the way of the magic of the holiday. This novella follows three of the Forgotten Alien Warrior couples as they struggle to work through their differences. But can they do it in time to save Christmas?

You're supposed to spend Christmas with the person you love most. But what if that person turns out to be the biggest, grumpiest alien you've ever met? SOPHIE When you find out your boyfriend is cheating on you and you get laid off all in the same week, something's gotta give. I need a change, and a seasonal work contract aboard the bustling Elora Station is just the ticket. I'll spend the holidays on the glittering, festive commerce station, make a little money, and clear my head before returning to my colony planet life. It's a perfect plan. One thing I'm not accounting for in that plan, though? My coworker. He's not human. In fact, he's one of the deadliest alien soldiers in the universe - a Chimera. Seven feet tall with black horns, heated yellow eyes, and an exceptionally grumpy disposition, I cannot for the life of me figure out why this genetically modified beast of a man is working in a tiny, human-owned coffee shop at Christmas time. But there's more to X than meets the eye. And the longer I work with him, the more I grow to like him. Soon enough, his taciturn nature begins to charm me. Suddenly, his looks aren't quite so fearsome, but actually kind of... attractive? As the holidays hurtle on and my work contract on Elora Station draws to a close, I realize that I don't want to go back to my old life in the colony. And I don't want to leave X. Can a regular human girl like me find a permanent place on Elora Station and in X's guarded alien heart before Christmas? Chimera for Christmas is a sweet and spicy, cozy, grumpy sunshine, alien monster holiday romance.

Celebrate! I love writing Christmas stories because they include three of my favorite things—tradition, lots of emotion, and a guaranteed happy ending. That’s why I’m delighted to reissue this holiday collection which includes four of my classic historical novellas, plus my only contemporary novella. What all these tales have in common is two people discovering life’s greatest gift, love, at the happiest time of the year. Enjoy! —Mary Jo Putney Sunshine for Christmas follows a lonely young aristocrat to Italy for the holidays, where he finds something even more precious than sunshine. (The hero, Lord Randolph Lennox, was a secondary character in my RITA winning novel, The Rake.) The Christmas Cuckoo features level-headed young Meg who goes to the local coaching inn and comes home with the wrong Jack Howard. And like a true cuckoo in the nest, Jack doesn't want to leave! The Christmas Tart is the tale of Nicole, a young Frenchwoman down on her luck in London, whose stark choice for survival gives her--and her kitten!—a new chance for happiness. The Black Beast of Belleterre is a Beauty and the Beast Victorian tale of a beautiful young artist and the husband who believes he cannot be loved. Of course he's wrong! In A Holiday Fling, a British actress and a Hollywood cameraman team up to film a Christmas show for a good cause. Anything that happens between them will be a strictly temporary holiday fling—or might it be more?

** This story is also available in the author's novella collection, Christmas Revels. Searching for sunshine… Lonely and depressed by far too much rain, Lord Randolph Lennox decides on impulse to take the first ship leaving London for the sunny Mediterranean. Chance brings him to Naples—where it's also raining. But the rain clears and as he discovers the city, a pleasant young English governess rescues him from an altercation with a flirtatious girl and her protective family. Miss Elizabeth Walker is between jobs and taking a holiday in Naples when she meets the quiet, handsome Englishman. When he proposes that she act as his guide for the next few days, she accepts because they enjoy each other's company. Elizabeth matter-of-factly recognizes that of course she'll fall quietly in love with him and nothing will come of it, but she'll have some lovely memories to cherish in her old age. …and finding a second chance at love… As they come to know each other better, Randolph starts thinking thoughts of forever, but that seems impossible—until fate takes an alarming hand. Author's Note: The hero of Sunshine for Christmas was a secondary character in my RITA winning novel, The Rake. A foolish youthful mistake had cost him the woman he loved. But doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? "Putney's writing is clear as crystal and smooth as silk." —Booklist "Mary Jo Putney is a gifted writer with an intuitive understanding of what makes romance work." —Jayne Ann Krentz
