Her Dangerous Viscount by Cynthia Wright, formerly called Natalya (Ballantine, 1991).

1814: Grey St. James has escaped from Napoleon’s prison on the rocky isle of Mont St. Michel. Desperate and dangerous, he is a far cry from the rakish nobleman who broke hearts in Regency London.

High in a tower in her uncle Nicholai's French chateau, Natalya Beauvisage is writing a novel. At 26, she is beautiful but hardly marriageable, devoted instead to being an author. However, when a potently attractive stranger appears to hold her at knifepoint, Natalya thrills to a flesh-and-blood man.

Grey must escape from France and Natalya longs to return to America, so they form an unlikely alliance, traveling together in disguise. Natalya is caught up in a passionate fantasy that surpasses any she could imagine, but Grey’s heart is imprisoned by dark secrets that must be uncovered before he can love again...

Chloe Burke thinks upgrading the electrical system of her childhood home while her parents are away would make the perfect Christmas gift.

Mistletoe and Margaritas
Claire Rutledge still believes in love, despite losing her husband. After two years, she's not surprised by the steamy dreams telling her it might be time to start moving on.

When they both get caught up in the holiday spirits at a party, their simmering mutual attraction boils over into a night neither of them can forget.

Snowbound with the CEO
Adrian Blackstone built a million-dollar business with hard work and determination-and by remaining professional at all times.

The next 12 Day of Christmas freebie from ARe:

Her Secret Dom, by Samantha Cote

Spoiler:

When Pam accepts a romantic date with a coworker, she “forgets” to share her dinner plans with her lover, Jared. Pam has no interest in anyone else, but she’s so devastated by Jared's emotional abandonment she'll do anything to forget that at one time, she meant something to him.

Jared's been preoccupied with his growing security company, and after deflowering Pam six weeks ago, he's neglected her. Jared’s suppressed his Dominant side in order to protect Pam from his dark desires, but the Dom in him knows it’s still his duty to tend to her needs. Well, as soon as his workload eases...

But someone tips off Jared and he shows up at the restaurant unannounced. Pam’s mortified when her sweet-tempered boyfriend goes Neanderthal on her and drags her back to his cave. Pam’s bratty behavior has unleashed the possessive Dom in him, so the secret's out. But as Jared gives Pam a taste of his Dominance, other secrets threaten to surface and destroy their new beginning.

By disclosing his true self, will he end up losing the woman he loves?

$.99 Broken - Lauren Layne

Spoiler:

When Olivia Middleton abandons the glamour of Park Avenue for a remote, coastal town in Maine, everyone assumes she’s being the kind do-gooder she’s always been. But Olivia has a secret: helping an injured war veteran reenter society isn’t about charity—it’s about penance. Only, Olivia’s client isn’t the grateful elderly man she’s expecting. Instead, he’s a brooding twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivia’s path to redemption . . . and whose smoldering gaze and forbidden touch might be her undoing.

Paul Langdon doesn’t need a mirror to show him he’s no longer the hotshot quarterback he was before the war. He knows he’s ugly—inside and out. He’ll do anything to stay in self-imposed exile, even accept his father’s ultimatum that Paul tolerate the newest caretaker for three months or lose his inheritance. But Paul doesn’t count on the beautiful twenty-two-year-old who makes him long for things that he can never have. And the more she slips past his defenses, the more keeping his distance is impossible.

Now Paul and Olivia have to decide: Will they help each other heal? Or are they forever broken?

Congrats, that's really cool. But being my tech-challenged self I don't do podcasts. If you don't mind sharing, what was the email about?

[copyrite]

There is actually a transcript up for the podcast if anyone wants to read and not listen I so enjoy the podcast - Sarah's laugh is so infectious I find myself laughing along with her.

Definitely my favorite podcast; it always gets bumped to the top of list every Friday!

She read about 90% of my email. It was about novellas. As copyrite, the wizard , pointed out there is a transcript to the DBSA podcast which Sarah now links to within the podcast post if you want to read it. Basically I was replying to a question about novellas from an earlier podcast. And then I talked about my love of Christmas novellas and asked for suggestions for Hanukkah or Kwanzaa novellas.

If you do read the podcast the second email she read was mine.

The Gentleman and The Rogue - m/m from Summer Devon and Bonnie Dee.

[Blue2u]

Free from Entangled Select, a novella: His Risk to Take - Tessa Bailey

Spoiler:

The greater the risk, the hotter the reward…

Homicide cop Troy Bennett had a reputation with the Chicago PD for being fearless and in control—until the night his daredevil partner is killed during a raid. From that moment on, he swears he’ll never again be responsible for the loss of a loved one. To escape his demons, Troy transfers to the NYPD, bringing him up close and personal with Ruby Elliott, a beautiful, street-savvy pool hustler.
Reckless and stubbornly independent, Ruby embodies everything Troy’s avoiding, but when she walks into the pub he’s at with his new coworkers and blows his carefully laid plans to hell, Troy knows he has to have her—risks be damned. But there’s a connection between Ruby’s shadowed past and a case Troy’s working involving a notorious Brooklyn felon, throwing her safety into jeopardy. Confronted with his biggest fear, will Troy push Ruby away to keep her safe or fight to keep her in his arms where she belongs?
