Her Fake, Irish Husband

A sparkling romantic comedy. Christmas has always been Kate O’Connor’s favorite time of the year, but this season—despite her battery-operated twinkle-light earrings—she’s feeling far from festive. In fact, she’s wallowing in a generous dose of self-pity over the loss of her father, the train wreck that was her engagement, and an unsavory setback in her career. To make matters worse, her boss at the Cline & Co. ad agency has volunteered her to be the one-woman welcoming committee for Gavin Whyte, the VIP client from across the pond who could be the key to saving their struggling business. Eager to prove she’s a team player, Kate resolves to show Gavin a good time, hoping his dazzling blue eyes, his delicious Irish accent, and her own propensity for disaster don’t cause her to torpedo the company’s chances of recovery. Gavin Whyte would rather be anywhere than the Cline & Co. ad agency. Tasked with overseeing the ad campaign for his pharmaceutical firm, he’s not impressed with the second-rate ad agency that’s been awarded the contract. And there’s one employee, Kate O’Connor, who confirms his suspicions that the ad agency just isn’t up to the task at hand. She can’t seem to do anything without something going wrong or the police showing up. Yet there’s something about Kate that makes Gavin stop and take a second look. Each book in The Happy Holidays series is a standalone novel and therefore can be read in any order.

A Match Made in Ireland

When seventeen year-old librarian wannabe Claire Daly is dragged kicking, screaming and cursing from everything she loves-her mam, her cozy Irish village and the dreamy boy next door-to take up arms in the battle of good versus evil, she learns the hard way that sometimes you don't get to choose your own destiny, destiny chooses you. Claire's life plan is simple: head off to university to get her degree in library studies, summon up the courage to tell her best friend Chas that she loves him and live happily ever after. She never once entertained the idea that she might possess divine powers, that she might be predestined to battle Hell's demons, or, to complicate matters further, that another love of many lives past might turn up on her doorstep. But life doesn't always go as planned, and when a co-worker is viciously attacked by a demon and her own family threatened, Claire must face the truth: she is called to a higher purpose and has no choice but to answer. Claire sets aside her dreams and begins learning how to deal with the Unholy once and for all. Armed with only a crash course in soul saving and her wits, she gears up for the ultimate show down in Hell. But will it be enough?
