Still have some shopping left to do? I suggest you plan a little escape for the hectic days ahead. Why not stack a few good romance novels under the tree?

During the holiday season we string lights on palm trees and hang toes off the nose of surfboards. That's because San Diego is blessed with a temperate climate and some of the world's best surfing spots. AND–you may not know this–the most amazing romance writers! There really must be something in the sunny, salty air that inspires San Diego writers, because you're pretty much guaranteed to get lost in these new holiday releases!

Running Hot
This is one of my favorite times of the year. The decorations and the songs...the food. But the best thing is spending time with family and friends - the ones you love. From my home to yours, I hope all of you have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season!

Camped out at a resort bar in Fiji, CIA operative Ward Bennett may look like he's on vacation but he's really deep undercover, hunting a dictator on the run. Ward may be on the job, but that doesn't mean there isn't time for the sexy female bartender. That is, until she drugs him.
When Tasha Gregory discovers the hottie on the barstool isn't who he pretends to be, her MI6 training kicks into gear, and she has no choice but to take him out. Problem is, Ward's not an easy man to put down for long. More than once, his interference almost blows her surveillance operation—and her ability to keep her heart to herself.
As the situation heats up, these two must decide whether they can trust one another—and quick. Working together might just make everyone safer, but getting close enough for comfort … might just get them killed.

I want to send wishes for a wonderful holiday season to all of you, and a little reminder to take care of yourselves. The holidays can get so hectic that we all need a little break from time to time. What could be better than a fire in the fireplace, a comfy chair and a fun book to read? Take some time and treat yourself, you’ve earned it!
Love to all, Jill

Wow, that's two of you who pre-shop for Christmas. Do you have a secret closet to put the gifts in? ;) Good luck!
