A Christmas To Believe In Book 3 in The Three Kings
Series -- December 2010
When a man's dreams are in ruin, all he needs is someone to
believe...
Struggling Thoroughbred breeder, Clint King, hasn't been home
for Christmas in five years.
This year, his prize mare's due to foal any day, and in the wake of
his father's death, Clint can't
stand the idea of returning. Except, Alex, his youngest
brother, is getting married on Christmas
Eve, and their mother's put her foot down. With his mare in
tow behind him, Clint prepares to
meet a sister he's never known and Alex's unexpected triplets.
The one salvation Clint looks
forward to is childhood companion, tomboy Jesse Saurs. Yet
when he reunites with Jesse, he
uncomfortably discovers she's become all woman.
Jesse has everything she needs -- financial security, a home, and a
foster child who's about to
become her son. With Ethan's final hearing scheduled just
before Christmas, her dreams will
come true. When she learns Clint and his brothers are
returning, she anticipates a holiday
reunion that's sure to entertain Ethan. But on the night of
Clint's return, the 'brother' she
expected leaves her trembling after a hug. Even worse, Ethan
makes it clear Clint's not welcome.
Will Christmas destroy hopes and dreams, or will it become the gift
they've all been longing for?

A Perfect Bride For Christmas Book 1 in The Three Kings
Series -- December 2010
Alex King wants to follow the family tradition and marry his perfect
bride on Christmas Eve.
There's one little hitch -- Bianca dumps him at the altar. He
wakes up in Vegas with a hangover,
a ring on his finger, and in bed with his best friend, Zoe
Hillman. She's overweight and plain,
nothing at all like his image of the perfect wife. So begins
the shortest Vegas marriage in history.
Zoe loved Alex from the moment he walked through the law firm's
doors. He can charm the
panties off any woman, but he's never tried it with her. The
chance to grab for the golden ring is
within her reach until everything blows up in her face. Now,
five years later, she returns to Kansas
City with triplets in tow and a brand new look. Catering
Alex's next wedding should prove
interesting.

Alicia M. Dean
A Knight For Christmas Book 2 in The Three Kings Series -- December 2010
The last thing Heath King wants is to return to Kansas City for the
holidays. Being in his home
town holds too many bad memories, and now there are new bad memories
in the making, among
them a sister he never knew about -- proof that his father was
unfaithful. But the most difficult
thing he'll face is running into Nicolette, his best friend's widow
-- the woman he's loved since
the day he met her.
Before Nicolette Morgan has time to fully grieve over her husband's
death, a blackmailer enters
the picture, demanding she pay him or he'll ruin the lives of
everyone she loves. Nicolette sees no
way out until she unexpectedly encounters Heath King. When she
turns to him for help, old
feelings are rekindled, and she realizes she never stopped wanting
him.
As Christmas approaches, Heath must find a way to stop the
blackmailer...but can he also rescue
the love he lost fifteen years ago?
