Holiday Inn by Shelby Reed (originally published 2005 in e-book format)
Hot sex with a perfect stranger isn't exactly how Anna Stafford plans to spend Christmas Eve. But when a freak blizzard throws a handsome, mysterious motorcyclist into her path and the only available shelter from the storm is a tiny motel room in the middle of nowhere, Anna and the biker find themselves sharing more than just a room...and ultimately more than the searing pleasure a few uninhibited hours affords them. For Jesse Proffitt is a man running from pain, and soon he will learn that Anna's touch is a balm to his broken heart, and love, the truest gift of all.

His Christmas Cara by Shiloh Walker (originally published 2004 in e-book format)
His name was Eben Marley...Ebenezer, to be exact, and for the longest time, he'd lived exactly as the famous scrooge from the old Christmas story. Well, almost exactly. Eben had two great loves, making money and making love to women.
He did little more than work, and take as many women as he could, trying to forget the one woman who'd walked away from him. Then Eben met someone who was finally able to break through the ice around his heart. As he spent a long, sensuous night loving her sweet body and staring into her soft green eyes, he became frightened of the emotions she aroused in him. So he cruelly pushed her away.
Eben's life has been empty since that long-ago night, though the woman often haunts his dreams. On Christmas Eve, an accidental encounter brings it all rushing back. With the bitter taste of loneliness and regret riding him hard, Eben comes face to face with three determined...spirits? Turns out the Ebenezer of old was in fact a real man, and if Eben wants to avoid the hollow future that these spirits point out to him, he's going to have to look deep inside his heart...and hope that the woman he pushed away can forgive him.

At the age of ten, Shelby Reed wrote her first romance with Prince Charming — literally! — as the hero, and it’s been non-stop story spinning ever since.
Despite the idealistic place from which she embarked, she’s partial to writing realistic, flawed, multi-faceted characters, lush emotion, and the ever-possible happy ending.
When not pecking away at the computer keyboard, Shelby enjoys creative projects such as portraiture and decorating, dabbles in Tarot, and lives a bucolic life with her own Prince Charming in North Florida.
