I held out as long as I could. Two days after Thanksgiving, I spent nearly three days straight decorating the inside of the house for Christmas. The last thing I wanted to do was put up the outside decorations as well. I declared that that was the job of the baby bassets and hubby. Then it rained, and rained and rained and rained some more. Then it was sunny on a Monday while everyone was at school and work. But then it rained again. Here we are, only days away from Christmas, it’s sunny, and once again everyone is at school and work. I just can’t wait any longer. I put up the penguins and a few lit trees. Tonight I will strongly suggest that the boys and hubby gather the needed extension cords and get them all plugged in and on the timmer. I really hope it’s not me tomorrow doing that. Grrrr. OK.. I will do it, but I am not cleaning it up after Christmas (yes I will)
Only The Lonely (A Death Gate Grim Reapers Thriller Book 1)
by Amanda M. Lee
Genre: Mystery | Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
Isabella “Izzy” Sage spent her formative years on Belle Isle in Detroit, playing next to the gate that separates the living from the dead as her parents drew a paycheck from the grim reaper council.
Then the impossible happened, tragedy struck, and Izzy found herself an orphan. Her grandfather took her away and raised her among the Bruja in New Orleans, although her heart always longed to return to the gate… which felt so much like a part of her.
Now, as an adult, Izzy has worked her way up to gatekeeper status and she’s back in the place her childhood ended. She’s the one in charge now… although things don’t go how she hoped. On her very first day, the gate is breached, and the wraith that crosses over is not only murderous but enhanced.
Izzy wants to be in charge, but the local reaper council needs help so they send back-up in the form of a magical reaping family.
The Grimlocks are loud, boisterous and used to a good fight. The men are also handsome, something Izzy doesn’t want to acknowledge, even when the flirting gets out of control. In addition to all that, they’re also protective, and whether Izzy wants it or not, they’re going to infringe on her territory if they think they can keep her safe.
The past might be haunting Izzy, but she can’t look forward to the future until the danger is behind her. Those around her know more than they’re letting on, and the magic she’s been trying to hide is about to take over.
The fight is on… and Izzy is loaded for bear.

He doesn’t believe in love. She hopes one day he will. Is sticking to his beliefs worth losing her forever?
Quint Fairchild, head of Fairchild Films, learned long ago that in Hollywood everything’s make believe, including love.

Chrystelle wishes she could spend Christmas with her beloved grandmother in her Colorado hometown. Then Quint offers her a contract to produce her TV series. She almost believes this is the best Christmas ever, until she reads the contract. He doesn’t just want rewrites; he wants her to change everything.

What she hadn’t expected was Quint on her front porch, and not to wish her a Merry Christmas. He wants her script–on his terms, of course. Their conflict continues, but the more time Chrystelle spends with this stubborn billionaire, the harder it is for her to remember why she can’t change her script. But sprinkle this battle with grandmotherly wisdom and holiday charm, and the season of blessings reveals love in more ways than Chrystelle and Quint ever imagined.
