Just for the Holidays
by Nana Malone
“Justin, last night was better than anything I could’ve ever imagined.”
His lips lifted into a smirk. “So you imagined us together, then?”
She couldn’t help the smile that tugged at her lips. “I plead the fifth.”
Justin laughed. He strolled over to her and took her hand. And pulled her forward about half a foot. Then, before she could gather her thoughts or catch her breath from having him so close, he dipped his head and kissed her.
His Holiday Gift
by Reese Ryan
She forced an incredulous laugh, her heart racing. “It was a teenage crush. Ancient history.”
The corner of his sensuous mouth curved into a grin that did things to her. Made her want to do things to him. “If it’s ancient history, why’d you kiss me last night?”
“I didn’t.” Her cheeks stung with heat and her defiance faltered. “You kissed me.”
“It was definitely a two-person operation.” He stepped closer, leaving little space between them.

Chapter 1 (#uf64a4a5b-f8bb-5e1c-bb85-ce720e34cc92)
Justin Morrison ran through the hallways of the hospital, nearly tipping over a gurney at the nursing station, narrowly missing an orderly and then actually tripping over a wheelchair someone had left in the hallway.
He scrambled to get back on his feet, his heart beating a frantic tattoo against his ribs. He had to get to her. After everything, he couldn’t lose her.
His cousin’s words on the phone still rattled around his brain. She’s in the hospital. You need to come quickly. He took the stairs two at a time to the fourth floor, where they’d directed him at the main reception desk. Oh God, please let her be okay. Please, please, please let her be okay. His grandma Lucy was the only person on this planet who understood him. Well, next to his best friend, Alexandra, whom he affectionately called Alex. But Grandma Lucy, she was his heart. She was the sole reason he was where he was today, even when no one had believed in him.
Growing up, she’d been his rock. She’d scolded him when she felt it necessary, hugged him when he needed it and always told it to him straight. She was outrageous and said the most inappropriate things. But man, she was fantastic.
Grandma Lucy had been the one to tell him to stop trying to seek his father’s approval and follow his own path. She was the sole reason that any banks would even talk to him when he wanted to build a boutique hotel.
