What are you currently reading?

Six down-on-their-luck people with links to the world of crime writing have been invited to play a game this Christmas by the mysterious Midwinter Trust. The challenge seems simple but exciting: Solve the murder of a fictional crime writer in a remote but wonderfully atmospheric village in north Yorkshire to win a prize that will change your fortunes for good.

Six members of staff from the shadowy Trust are there to make sure everyone plays fair. The contestants have been meticulously vetted but you can never be too careful. And with the village about to be cut off by a snow storm, everyone needs to be extra vigilant. Midwinter can play tricks on people's minds.

The game is set - but playing fair isn't on everyone's

Bridgerton meets Werewolves Within in this sparkling shapeshifter Regency romance mixed with humor, steamy chemistry, and fantasy.

A Duke in want of a wife…

Alfred Blakesley, Duke of Lowell, has long been an enigma. No one dares to give a man of his status the cut direct, but there's simply something not quite right about him. What would the society ladies say if they learned the truth—that the Duke of Lowell is a wolf shifter and the leader of a pack facing extinction if he doesn't find his true love? So now he's on the hunt…for a wife.

Felicity Templeton has a goal of her own: to remain unwed until her twenty-fifth birthday, when she will inherit a significant fortune. But that all changes when she meets Alfred, the dashing duke who's determined to have her for his very own…

Here is what I am reading, recently finished, and plan to read from Thursday to Wednesday.

I should’ve known better than to make a Christmas bet with my brother’s best friend. Six-foot-three, grumpy, and allergic to mistletoe and feelings.

My job sounded simple: find a holidate for the sexy single-dad hockey star before the team’s Christmas Eve gala. But Rowan’s sworn off romance forever. So when he bets I can’t find him a plus one, I up the stakes and volunteer as tribute.

I’ll fake date the holiday hater just to prove him wrong. Cue the mistletoe sabotage and Secret Santa subterfuge.

But soon our practice dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions feel a little too real—especially when he starts planning secret trysts in our snowy small town. Where I discover exactly how fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

And when I get to know his book-loving daughter and they invite me into their life, what began as a holiday bet is turning into a Christmas I’ll never forget.

What if the only gift I want the grump to unwrap this season… is me?
