Santa Maybe

Dear Santa,
I've been a good girl this year. (Well . . . pretty good.) I have a nice life and there's only one thing that I really want one thing that's missing. If you happen to have an extra one lying around your workshop, I would really like a husband. I promise to take good care of him.
Love, Abbie
With a successful bakery to run, super cute nieces and nephews to spoil, and plenty of good friends to keep her company, Abbie s not about to start crying over the fact that she s doesn't have a boyfriend to spend Christmas with. But when her sister convinces her to write a note to Santa, Abbie has no idea that a little Christmas magic is about to land her the man of her dreams. Or rather, that man is about to land smack dab on the floor in front of her Christmas tree with no memory of how he got there.
Now Abbie and Ben have to figure out where he came from, who he really is, and if he's actually available.
Aubrey Mace, the award-winning author of Spare Change, has done it again! This light-hearted holiday romance is sure to please even the most cynical scrooge. Told with humor, sweetness, and Aubrey's signature wit, this is one Christmas story that will keep you smiling all year round.

Diamonds are Forever

"Cord," she said again. She looked me in the eyes and put one hand on each side of my face. This lady cared about me; you could see it in her eyes. Finally she bent down and softly kissed me. I mean really kissed me. I couldn't remember being kissed like that, not in a long, long time - and never by a doctor.
I was shocked! I mean, she was a doll. I wasn't going to object to the kiss, but who was she? Why was she in my hospital room? But then, why was I here? I didn't think I'd ever met her before, but anyone who kissed like that, I wanted to get to know a whole lot better.
Cord Calloway is living his dream. He's made it as a minor league baseball player and has found the perfect woman. Everything seems to be going his way. That is, until Cord wakes up in the hospital without any memory of the last three months.
Among his personal belongings is a diamond ring with an intriguing inscription: Diamonds Are Forever - Cord. But who did he buy it for? Who is this beautiful doctor who seems to know him so well? And worse yet, why is the pain of breaking up with his last girlfriend so fresh in his memory?
Over the next few months, Cord must overcome his memory loss as he tries to find out which woman he really loves. Was the ring meant for the beautiful and mysterious doctor? Or was it for the spunky, zesty ex-girlfriend who's suddenly changed her life around and wants him back?
With only his heart to rely on, Cord finds that dating is a whole new ball game.

On a Whim: The Whimsy Series

This is the last place Whimsy ever thought she'd be for her senior year of high school.
What kind of a mother just up and decides to be a lawyer, anyway? And what cruel twist of fate landed Whimsy and her mother in Provo, Utah - in BYU's family housing complex, no less? Whimsy is determined to be miserable; after all, she should be in sunny Arizona with her friends, not lonely in frozen Utah.
But Provo does have one perk: Josh Iverson. Whimsy admired Josh from afar back in Arizona, but now that he's going to BYU on a football scholarship and Whimsy finds herself living on campus, the change of scenery may just bring a change in their relationship.
In the meantime, though, Whimsy has a lot on her plate. Does Matt Hollingsworth like her, or is he just being nice? Why is she so at ease around Matt and so embarrassingly awkward around Josh? Then there's her mother to worry about. How did her mom manage to attract the attentions of the law school's geekiest student and meanest professor? Her mom wouldn't seriously consider either of them - would she?
Whimsy is about to embark on a senior year unlike any other - one that has the potential to be her best year yet, if she can survive.

Just when Bodi feels life is at its best, adversity strikes. When a quick succession of tragedies crush Bodi's perfect world, Bodi is left with a pile of broken dreams as well as faith-threatening questions.

Do miracles really happen - and if they do, can they happen to someone like her?  In this touching story, the reader will learn with Bodi, that although life doesn't always turn out the way we want, it doesn't mean that it can't still be good.
