These newlyweds are in for a big surprise in this delightful holiday novella from the USA Today bestselling author known for her "unputdownable contemporary romances" (Booklist). Elise Maxwell is loving her first Christmas with her husband, Jay Smith. So far, newlywed life has been filled with laughter and lots of steamy marital "bliss." But when Elise discovers she's accidentally, against-all-odds pregnant, happily-ever-after screeches to a halt. Although she sees it as a Christmas miracle, Elise knows her new husband might not agree... Jay never wanted to be a father. In fact, he's avoided it his entire life, worried he'd repeat the patterns of his own messed-up childhood. He's madly in love with Elise and, until now, he thought they were on the same page about not having children. But her surprise pregnancy changes everything. Elise is suddenly committed to parenthood, and Jay knows he can't lose her. Facing his deepest fears will be difficult, but with a little holiday magic, Jay might be able to prove to Elise that - as a family - they're destined to live merrily ever after.

Merrily We Roll Along, although praised by critics, was a failure on Broadway in 1934 but has since garnered almost cult classic status. It concerns a man who has lost the idealistic values of his youth. Its innovative structure presents the story in reverse order, with the character regressing from a mournful adult to a young man whose future is filled with promise.

December, and the river is rising. The village of Ledwardine has never been flooded in living memory. Within days it will be an island. There's no electricity. The church is serving as a temporary mortuary for two people who drowned. Only one man feels safer. An aggressively atheist author has been moved, for his own safety, Rushdie-style, into a secluded house just outside the village. Fundamentalist Christians have hated him for years. Now he's offended the Muslims. Bad move. Meanwhile, archaeologists, assisted by Merrily's teenage daughter, Jane, are at work in Coleman's Meadow, unearthing an ancient row of standing stones which some people would rather stay buried. The atheist's temporary home is close to the site. And his young wife is becoming conspicuously agitated. Is it the fear of discovery--or the kind of fear that she, of all people, could never disclose? One thing is clear: the last person who's going to be welcome in that house is an exorcist. With the flood water washing up Church Lane towards the vicarage and the shop running out of cigarettes it looks like a cold and complex Christmas for Merrily Watkins in an ancient community forced to untangle its own history against the swirling uncertainty of the future.

He was the one. I was sure of it . . . until he left me for the girl who hated me most. My cruel, conniving stepsister. She'd always wanted Drake and I didn't know how she'd turned him against me, so I tried to move on with my life. I married the wrong guy, a jerk who only showed his true colors after the vows had been said, but he gave me the best kid in the world before walking out on us. Even though I was now a single mom with barely a penny to my name, being left for a second time didn't hurt as badly as losing Drake. She made her choice. It wasn't me. So I poured my heart and soul into the one thing that has always been there for me: football. Pushing myself to my physical maximum, only stopping when I become the best. And my latest win confirms that I'm the best, everyone says. So I know what I have to do--propose to the girl who's stayed by my side for the past decade. I'm not even sure I love her, but she's earned her ring. With him I was the belle of the ball. I was always the princess, not the girl who fades into the background. Now I have an incredible group of friends and family who support me, and of course my beautiful Lexie, but something is still missing. Someone. And I know who it is. Ella was the one who made me feel alive. Her belief in me persuaded me that I could take on the world. But that was fifteen years ago. Things change, and I've convinced myself that we've closed the door on that chapter of life. Until I see her again. Now the deliciously gorgeous football star, who'd moved away to win fame and fortune while I found only poverty and disgrace, is back home. Back in the small town where our story both began and ended. And when we see each other for the first time in fifteen years, he doesn't even have the decency to have a danged shirt on. I didn't know eight packs were possible. The moment her big brown eyes meet mine, I realize that nothing has changed. My heart still beats faster. I still have an incredible urge to pull her into my arms. But he's home to marry my stepsister. Karla is completely wrong for him, and we both know it. But what can we do about it? A Modern-Day Cinderella inspired Sweet Romance. This book was previously published under the title Merrily Ever After.

Merrily Watkins, parish priest, single mother and Deliverance Consultant to the Diocese of Hereford, heads for the Malvern Hills to investigate an alleged paranormal dimension to a spate of road accidents in the sleepy village of Wychehill. Merrily is called in when two people are killed in a head-on crash that is also linked to the revamped local pub which, it seems, has injected the valley with a shattering, strobing surge of inner-city nightlife... and drugs. When a dealer is found savagely murdered below the great earthen hillfort of Herefordshire Beacon, police ask: is it a ritual killing, a gangland disposal or a cry of outrage? As Merrily and the police follow separate paths towards the truth, Merrily's teenage daughter, Jane, faces the consequences of her own obsession with a possibly prehistoric site in their home village of Ledwardine. Until, on a night of frenzied violence, in a place at the centre of an ancient, universal mystery, the final, shocking connections are made.
