Fake Christmas (Fake Billionaire Series, #5)
Page 11
Allyson’s parents got up and appeared by her side to hug and congratulate them.
“I can’t wait to meet this grandchild,” Allyson’s mother said. “Oh, your baby and baby Owen are going to be the best of friends, just like I was with my cousins.” When they finished chatting with Allyson, they resumed their seats to continue eating.
After taking a sip of wine, he stared back down at the table and realized he and Allyson were still holding hands. If he could hold her hand for eternity, he would.
“Thank you for talking me into this,” she said. “It’s nice to be taken care of.”
“I’ll never stop taking care of you,” he promised her.
Her eyes drifted to his and she gave him a dazzling smile. “Just think... this time next year, there will be a new member of our family.”
“You’re right,” he said. “The baby will be here, and next year will be their first Christmas.”
She leaned closer to kiss him briefly, the sensation of her lips feather-light on his. “So, you’ve put a lot of work into all of this. Is this the best Christmas ever?”
“You bet it is. As long as you’re here, Christmas is perfect. And next year we’ll have the best present we could ever receive.” He brought her hand to his lips and kissed her wrist gently. “I can’t wait to meet our baby.”
THE END

Capturing Her Beauty
KAYLA REID HAS ALWAYS been into fashion and everything to do with it. Growing up wasn’t easy for her. A bigger girl trying to squeeze into the fashion world is like trying to suck an entire gelatin mold through a straw; possible, but difficult.
She found herself an open door as a designer and jumped right in. Her designs always made the models smile. The colors, the fabrics, the styles. Never once did she dream of being on the other side of the lens. She got to watch her clothing strut around on others and that was good enough.
But who says you can’t have a little fun when you’re off the clock?
Sometimes trying on the latest fashions is just as good as making them. Kayla’s hours in front of the mirror were a guilty pleasure.
A chance meeting with one of the company photographers may turn into more than just an impromptu photo shoot.

How close to the edge is Alex willing to go? Will he stop at nothing to get what he wants?
Alex Reid is book 1 in the R&S Rich and Single Series. Fall in love with these hot and steamy men; all single, successful, and searching for love.

Sometimes the heart needs a different kind of saving... find out if Charity Thompson will find a way of saving forever in this hospital setting Best-Selling Romance by Lexy Timms
Charity Thompson wants to save the world, one hospital at a time. Instead of finishing med school to become a doctor, she chooses a different path and raises money for hospitals – new wings, equipment, whatever they need. Except there is one hospital she would be happy to never set foot in again—her fathers. So of course he hires her to create a gala for his sixty-fifth birthday. Charity can’t say no. Now she is working in the one place she doesn’t want to be. Except she’s attracted to Dr. Elijah Bennet, the handsome playboy chief.
Will she ever prove to her father that’s she’s more than a med school dropout? Or will her attraction to Elijah keep her from repairing the one thing she desperately wants to fix?
Heart of the Battle Series
In a world plagued with darkness, she would be his salvation.
No one gave Erik a choice as to whether he would fight or not. Duty to the crown belonged to him, his father's legacy remaining beyond the grave.
Taken by the beauty of the countryside surrounding her, Linzi would do anything to protect her father's land. Britain is under attack and Scotland is next. At a time she should be focused on suitors, the men of her country have gone to war and she's left to stand alone.
Love will become available, but will passion at the touch of the enemy unravel her strong hold first?
THE RECRUITING TRIP
Aspiring college athlete Aileen Nessa is finding the recruiting process beyond daunting. Being ranked #10 in the world for the 100m hurdles at the age of eighteen is not a fluke, even though she believes that one race, where everything clinked magically together, might be. American universities don’t seem to think so. Letters are pouring in from all over the country.
As she faces the challenge of differentiating between a college’s genuine commitment to her or just empty promises from talent-seeking coaches, Aileen heads to the University of Gatica, a Division One school, on a recruiting trip. Her best friend dares who to go just to see the cute guys on the school’s brochure.
The university’s athletic program boasts one of the top hurdlers in the country. Tyler Jensen is the school’s NCAA champion in the hurdles and Jim Thorpe recipient for top defensive back in football. His incredible blue-green eyes, confident smile and rock hard six pack abs mess with Aileen’s concentration.
His offer to take her under his wing, should she choose to come to Gatica, is a temping propo
sition that has her wondering if she might be with an angel or making a deal with the devil himself.
THE ONE YOU CAN’T FORGET
Emily Rose Dougherty is a good Catholic girl from mythical Walkerville, CT. She had somehow managed to get herself into a heap trouble with the law, all because an ex-boyfriend has decided to make things difficult.
Luke “Spade” Wade owns a Motorcycle repair shop and is the Road Captain for Hades' Spawn MC. He’s shocked when he reads in the paper that his old high school flame has been arrested. She’s always been the one he couldn’t forget.
Will destiny let them find each other again? Or what happens in the past, best left for the history books?
** This is book 1 of the Hades' Spawn MC Series. All your questions may not be answered in the first book.
And so much more to come!!

Did you love Fake Christmas? Then you should read About Love by Lexy Timms!
USA Today Bestselling Author, Lexy Timms, brings you a new series About Love and everything in between the road to forever.
The course of true love never did run smooth... William Shakespeare
After losing her money and fiancé in one go, Kellie Margolis, the one-time owner of a lucrative business, checks out of society. She needs to become something—or someone—unassuming. She’s hired on as a waitress at a bar called Darkness. It’s in a dangerous part of town, locally known for its Russian-American population.
Betrayed and humiliated by her fiancé who used her business as a front for an escort service, Kellie wants to keep her world small and simple. Unexpectedly, her new life involves the erotic, shady, and incredibly charming Sasha Petrov. Sasha’s too good-looking for words. Life for Kellie becomes passionate, adventurous, erotic, and bold—but by no means simple.
Though too many signals say Sasha plays dirty, Kellie decides she’d be a fool to deny herself the pleasure he brings her. Their affair becomes more like a fairy tale, and Kellie starts believing Sasha is the love she deserves after her hard times. He lavishes her with opulence and tends to her every need like no one has ever done. When Kellie’s past unexpectedly comes full circle, she realizes how small the world really is.
Will an unforeseen discovery break Kellie’s heart for good, or will Sasha be the bad boy hero he’s set himself up to be?
