Holiday Reflections

Reflecting Jesyca By Reese Gabriel
The last thing Jesyca needs to find on her doorstep a week before Christmas is the sexy, handsome as sin cowboy, Mark Bristol. Mark has already burned her too many times with his fiery one-night stands and now he's got a new ace up his sleeve, in the form of a pocket mirror which he claims proves the two of them are meant to be together...forever.

Jes doesn't trust Mark to turn over a new leaf. Nor can she trust her own body to resist his advances long enough to sort out his incredible story of the magic mirror he won in a poker game from an old medicine man. The answer lies in her own reflection, but she must believe in what she sees...

Reflecting the Future By Cricket Starr
John Forge is the station chief of a mining colony on a futuristic Mars and all he wants is a home and family...and Suzie Shelty, the colony's morale officer. Trouble is that while Suzie might admit to being infatuated with the handsome captain, she's not so sure she believes in love. Fortunately she does believe in holiday magic and with John's help creates for the station the first Christmas on Mars.

Suzie's uncertainty and John's unwillingness to compromise could keep them apart. But a mirror that reflects the future—and a certain jolly old elf—may yet make this Christmas the first of many these two will enjoy.
