Forever hidden / by Peterson, Tracie,author.; Woodhouse, Kimberley,author.;
"For Havyn Powell, growing up on her grandfather Chuck Bondrant's dairy outside the 1904 gold-rush boomtown of Nome, Alaska, offered all she needed. She had the love of her mother, two sisters, and grandfather. But now, at 23, Havyn realizes the stability of her life may soon vanish. Havyn is determined to find a way to keep the family together, but her grandfather's health is declining and everyone seems to be holding secrets from each other, including the handsome, dark-haired stranger who recently arrived. John Roselli arrives in Nome looking for a steady, consistent job. He has grown tired of the promises of getting rich quick and just wants an honest job with honest pay. His grandfather once knew a Chuck Bondrant, and so when John arrives at the dairy, he's quickly offered a job--and a path to more if he wants it. Havyn's plan for helping out the family means using her beautiful singing voice and her sisters' musical talent at a local roadhouse. They're an immediate hit, and it looks like her plan will be a success. But the spotlight brings with it dangerous eyes that covet Havyn and are jealous as she and John grow ever closer. But will they realize the peril before it's too late?"--

The Christmas brides of Twilight / by Wilde, Lori,author.;
She was the one who got away ... Noelle Curry has returned to Twilight to plan the most spectacular double wedding the town has ever seen--and do it on national television. But the woman known as "The Wedding Whisperer" is knocked speechless when she notices her teenage crush, Gil Thomas, is about to plunge into icy cold water wearing nothing more than a pair of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer swim trunks. He is the sexiest guy participating in the annual polar bear plunge and seeing him pushes all thoughts of white lace and rose blossoms right out of her mind. He was the man who decided to stay ... Single dad Gil doesn't regret giving up his dreams of big-city singing stardom for small-town life. But seeing Noelle--who's blossomed from the once-gawky teenager to West Coast beauty--has him thinking of days--and nights--a whole lot hotter than his plunge in the lake. And even though he knows she'll be heading out as soon as her work is finished, he can't help hoping the magic of Christmas in Twilight will get her to change her mind and stay in town--and by his side--forever.
