It’s Christmas in July, and to celebrate I’ve gotten together with some of my fellow indie authors who write clean romance to bring you a collection of Christmas themed books and novellas — some are free and some are just 99 pennies. There’s something for everyone with a mixture of contemporary and historical romances, and while they differ in style, they all share the joy of Christmas within their pages.
Please note that while we’ve all done our best to get the books either FREE or $.99 sometimes things can go wrong, so please double check the prices before purchasing.
