In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Noelle Moyaux questions her gift of sight until a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger during the Christmas holiday sets her on a path to save his soul.

Magnus Thornton is a millennium-old vampire who has found evidence of an old foe's evil at work in the demolished city of New Orleans. Weary of the fight, he decides to greet the coming dawn after a night reveling in his favorite things—a bottle of Bordeaux and a willing woman.

What starts as a night of sensual delights, ends in a revelation of mutual discovery when Noelle quickly creeps into his heart. The ancient vampire, so jaded from life he never speaks, must now persuade her to flee the city before it's too late.

Jessamyn's Christmas Gift by N.J. Walters (originally published as one of the Ellora's Cave Quickies, White Hot Holidays e-books)
It's Christmas Eve and Jessamyn Parker waits by the fireside in her boyfriend's house. She expects him home any minute after being away for three months on business. Clad only in a slinky teddy and sprawled beneath the Christmas tree, she plans to surprise him. But instead of her boyfriend, a complete stranger surprises her.

Caleb Morgan is the new sheriff, and unbeknownst to her, he is also the new owner of the house. Jessamyn flees back to her own home, determined to forget not only her boyfriend's betrayal, but also the heated desire that Caleb has sparked within her.

While Jessamyn is shocked by his appearance, Caleb is enthralled by her. But Jessamyn has had more than enough of men. Now, one year later, it's Christmas time again, and Jessamyn is still swearing off men. But Caleb has other ideas. The only thing he wants for Christmas is the same thing he wanted last year and didn't quite get—Jessamyn Parker under his tree.

Santa's Helpers by Jennifer Dunne (originally published as one of the Ellora's Cave Quickies, White Hot Holidays e-books)
All I want for Christmas is...

Well, it isn't her two front teeth, that's for sure. It's tall and lean and fills out a pair of elf britches—front and back—in a way that has Marissa wishing for one Christmas present above all others... Jingle Elf.

Marissa had no idea how tough being a mall elf at Christmas could be—dealing with screaming babies, drunken Santas, and rampaging reindeer. But the hardest part of the job is not letting Dean, aka Jingle, her hunky coworker, know she's having secret fantasies about him ravishing her in the darkness of Santa's Toy Shop. Fantasies that are hot enough to melt the fake snow.

On Christmas Eve, she finally risks telling him about her feelings, only to discover he's been fantasizing about her as well. With the help of some props from Santa's Wonderland, Dean proves he's really Santa's Helper when he makes all her Christmas wishes come true.

Lorna Merryfield lives for her job so completely she plans a work-related celebration on New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, the small plane carrying her there breaks down.
