Book 1: Christmas with My Best Friend’s Dad After two years in Paris studying music, Grace is back in Malibu, CA for Christmas, but she never forgot the last holiday she spent in California having an almost-one-night-stand with her best friend’s father, Jasper Hayes, enigmatic billionaire. Grace was ready to give Jasper her everything, until circumstance ripped it all to shreds. Now, back and hoping to move forward, Grace finds herself faced with a morally ambiguous proposal from none other than Jasper himself. For $25,000, Grace will pose as the perfect girlfriend for his company’s annual Christmas gala in NYC. It will only be one three-day weekend of elegant pirates, dinners, and Christmas finery, but nothing is ever so simple. With everything falling apart, only a Christmas miracle can repair the wounded relationships. Book 2: Knocked Up on Christmas Eve Hope didn’t know what to think when she booked herself into a hotel on December 23rd. Her best friend was in love with her father. Her father had paid her best friend to pose as his trophy girlfriend. Feeling confused and betrayed, Hope walked herself into the hotel bar and found herself waking up in a room that wasn’t hers. Instead, it belonged to Felix Jacobson, notorious billionaire executive and playboy (and a family friend). Two Years Later, it’s their daughter, Clara’s, first real Christmas, but Hope doesn’t know how to give Clara the one gift she deserves: her father. Book 3: Her Secret Santa They told Inez she shouldn’t major in creative writing. They told her not to move to Los Angeles to try her hand at screenwriting, but when did Inez ever listen? How could she do anything but follow her heart right into the house of famous actor, Cole Crawford? She’s trying not to drown in her student debt, and the gig Cole offers also means living in his Spanish-style mansion for free. With his sister, Natalie, recently divorced, Inez finds herself as the young nanny of Natalie’s twins, Rose and Asher. It’s time for the family to deck their mansion’s halls, but nothing about the season feels cheerful. Cole finds himself at a crossroads in his career, and the new buxom nanny he hired for his sister is only serving as a distraction. Inez is bright, beautiful, and far too appealing when she sleeps in his bed (unbeknownst to everyone else in the house). Of course, there’s no sneaking past the positive pregnancy test. If you are craving for a little naughty with your nice this Christmas, grab this unputdownable box set of three standalone holiday romances, each one naughtier than the previous one and promising your usual Sofie fix – a touch of forbidden with the perfect happily ever after.
Inspired by the website that the New York Times hailed as "redefining mourning," this book is a fresh and irreverent examination into navigating grief and resilience in the age of social media, offering comfort and community for coping with the mess of loss through candid original essays from a variety of voices, accompanied by gorgeous two-color illustrations and wry infographics. At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags, where intimate posts about loss go viral and we receive automated birthday reminders for dead friends, it’s clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map. Let’s face it: most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We’re awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit. Enter Rebecca Soffer and Gabrielle Birkner, who can help us do better. Each having lost parents as young adults, they co-founded Modern Loss, responding to a need to change the dialogue around the messy experience of grief. Now, in this wise and often funny book, they offer the insights of the Modern Loss community to help us cry, laugh, grieve, identify, and—above all—empathize. Soffer and Birkner, along with forty guest contributors including Lucy Kalanithi, singer Amanda Palmer, and CNN’s Brian Stelter, reveal their own stories on a wide range of topics including triggers, sex, secrets, and inheritance. Accompanied by beautiful hand-drawn illustrations and witty "how to" cartoons, each contribution provides a unique perspective on loss as well as a remarkable life-affirming message. Brutally honest and inspiring, Modern Loss invites us to talk intimately and humorously about grief, helping us confront the humanity (and mortality) we all share. Beginners welcome.

Billionaire Alexander Griffin's playboy ways have finally caught up with him. His father has declared him incompetent to take his position as CEO, and there is only one solution. Alexander must find himself a respectable fiancee and marry her. Reagan knows she could never be attracted to Alexander - he may be handsome, but he is arrogant and cold. Alexander finds Reagan infuriating and definitely not his type. Soon, however, they realize that their marriage may not be as fake as they want it to be. *** "I can't stand you Alexander!" I yelled. "Yet here I am in this tiny motel room, trying to resist you!" "Then stop trying, because I'm done trying to resist what I feel for you," he said softly, before firmly planting his mouth on mine. Fake Marriage to the Cold Billionaire is created by Nichole Jackson, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.
