Sweet Holiday Anthology: Coming Home for Christmas (Sweet Holiday Anthology) (ePub)

Not Quite Christmas by Sharon Kleve

After years of being away during the holidays, all Adair Hutton wants is to spend Christmas with her family. As a travel nurse, she's been all over the country and enjoyed every minute of it, but it's time to come home for good.

It becomes more difficult than Adair has anticipated when she has to rely on a handsome stranger, a taxi, Greyhound bus, an Uber, and an airplane to make the journey home. Because the road home isn't always as easy as planned.

Easton is a cartoon artist and can work from anywhere and isn't in any hurry to reach Seattle. There's no family waiting for him. When a beautiful stranger needs his assistance to get home for the holidays, he jumps in with both feet and maybe his heart too.

Christmas has not been filled with happy memories since Emilyn Owens left her small town of Berry Grove. She comes home to visit her sister who has taken over the family's bakery, Sugar Street Treats.

Thary Murray has been riding across country to outrun the tragic memories of his past. He's taken a short-term job at the bakery and makes the best pastries anyone's ever eaten.
When Emilyn's sister becomes ill she and Thary must work together to finish a gingerbread village promised as a fundraiser for a children's home.

As they begin to open up to each other about the pains of their pasts, will this draw them into something deeper for the holiday season? Possibly love?

Choosing Heart or Home by Chris Karlsen

Christmas, 1889

The widowed Victoria reigns over an empire the "sun never sets on," and London is bright with holiday decorations. Detective Rudyard Bloodstone is Holborn Station's lead investigator. With his career moving along well, Rudyard's year got even better after meeting London music hall star, Honeysuckle Flowers.

As he and his lady begin to celebrate the holidays, Rudyard grows homesick for Wales and for his family there. He makes plans to see his parents and thinks it is the perfect time to introduce Honeysuckle to them.

His joyful vision of how the visit will go fades, when to his unhappy surprise, his mother paints Honeysuckle with a trollop's brush. Loyalty to his parents is challenged by his love for Honeysuckle. He must choose between them, and to choose one means the risk of losing the other.

Alice prays for fate to take over. Little does she know that fate began without an introduction.

Small Town Christmas by Tammy Tate

Once she gets to Wauchula Florida, she's greeted by Connie, a high school acquaintance. Connie's brother is flying in and has just underwent a nasty divorce of his own.

To Brandy's surprise, he's no longer the tall, geeky kid she remembers with black rimmed glasses. He wears contacts and sports an eight pack instead of six.
