Blacklisted:  Crownover, Jay

Dr. Presley Baskin has always lived a quiet, calm life. Unfortunately, nothing about her life in Loveless, Texas - especially not the wild, rowdy, and impossibly close-knit Lawton family who've claimed her - is quiet or calm. Which is how loner Presley finds herself roped into patching up local bad boy Shot Caldwell against her better judgment. Presley wants nothing to do with the dangerous, brooding leader of the local outlaw motorcycle club. But when someone starts stalking her, Shot is the only person she trusts to help. Plus he owes her one. Palmer 'Shot' Caldwell has always known his life isn't made for relationships. At least until shy, secretive, Presley reluctantly pulled a bullet out of him. He's oddly protective of the pretty doctor, so when she comes to him for help, hard-hearted Shot suddenly realizes there's nothing he wouldn't do to keep her safe.

A California Christmas:  Novak, Brenda

Up-and-coming TV anchor Emery Bliss can’t imagine anything more humiliating than the sex tape her ex revenge-posted online. That is, until it causes her to lose her job on top of her self-esteem. Seeking solace - and anonymity - in Silver Springs, Emery isn’t looking to get involved with another man any time soon. But when she’s thrown back into contact with Dallas Turner, she sees something that his many detractors have missed. Being home for the holidays and his adoptive mother’s wedding isn’t where mountain climber Dallas feels most comfortable. Thanks to his troubled childhood, he’d rather be on a rock face alone than trying to connect with people. Emery, however, makes him want to overcome his past - somehow. Both Emery and Dallas had been planning on a quiet, solitary Christmas, but the sparks between them are lighting a fire strong enough to last - possibly forever.

For Jack and Gregor, the exiled Wolf Princes of the Scottish pack, it's someplace they never wanted to leave. For Danny, who fled as soon as he could, it's someplace he never planned to return. As for Nick, pathologist and carrion bird, he has nowhere else to be. It offers only one thing - the Old Man's help in putting down the bloody-handed treachery from the prophets who dogged them all the way from Durham. The twins' father is many things, not all of them kind, but not even the prophets would cross him. But when they finally arrive home, they find the Old Man gone and the prophets' puppet installed in his place. Outnumbered, bereaved, and haunted by old mistakes, the four of them must discover the prophet Rose's plan before it's too late. As the stakes rise and the cold settles into their bones, they find that the old fairy tales hide horrors under their pretty words. In the Highlands, Fenrir has stirred, and he's hungry. The prophets have always said that a Wolf Winter is red as blood - but they never said whose.
