LOGINReese: I know all too well the sting of heartbreak and rejection. Not a lot of men can handle a woman of my stature. I only hope that love is out there. When I agreed to meet up with my Frost cousins and their kids for a Christmas event after another breakup, I didn't expect sparks to fly with their friend Don Hunter. Don: I was surprised to be invited by my coworker Darius Frost to join his family and friends at the holiday lights at the park. It's not like I have family in the area, and I'm self-aware enough to know I wouldn't have some hot date. So why is the gorgeous Reese Nikolaidis giving me the time of day? It has to be a joke because she is out of my league. This is a standalone story but is the four book in the Ravenwood series. Book 1 - The Princess of Ravenwood Book 2 - Chasing Kitsune Book 3 - Expect The Unexpected Book 4 - Out Of My League Book 5 - Man's Best Wingman

That man knocked like the house was rented from him.“Prepare yourself,” I hissed, leaning down as Don fiddled with Leo’s pacifier like a surgeon.“I am prepared,” he said, and it was a lie, but it was a lie laced with love, and something underneath that, and it was probably peace. That piece of mind that comes from finally letting go of old memories, from just leaning in to something so much worse, and louder, and better.I opened the door to a chorus of “Happy Hanukkah!” and “You weren’t answering your texts!” and “Where’s the wine?” Michael was first, tall and beaming with a still-sleeping Immanuel half-slumped against hi
I did not set an alarm.I didn’t need one. Leo’s sleepy grumblings from the nursery and the languid unfurling of Reese’s arm across my chest was a wake-up call enough. Morning light seeped in past the curtains in milky gold stripes and spilled on the floor, creeping with the kind of tender quiet that knew today it was not its day to be loud.We did not hurry.Thank God, because for once we did not need to. No last-minute packing of the car. No scrubbing of the floor before guests arrived. No anxious texting of family members, waiting for them to act like all was well. Just us. Our girl. Our boy. Our small family holding the other side of the frantic tightrope.Reese yawned as she sat up, hair sliding off one shoulder and cheeks p
It wasn’t jingly bells or enchanted notes that woke us up. It was a fart. A big, booming fart that you could hear even over the baby monitor, and two glorious peals of baby laughter as they’d just hit the punchline.Don groaned into the pillow. “I think Nik just crop-dusted his sister.”“Merry Christmas,” I muttered, hauling myself out of bed. My robe was in a heap on the floor. One of my boobs was probably still out. It was still only 7:30 in the freakin’ morning.By the time we trudged to the nursery like a pair of zombies in oversized plaid pajamas, both of the twins were fully awake and grinning like pint-sized gremlins from Hell. Leocádia had tossed her blanket to one corner and was squirming around half-naked, while Nikolaos was smacking the si
It was at that moment, during my second sip of coffee, that pandemonium descended.First, there had been pounding on the door. Screams. Bells. High-pitched giggles. A shuffling noise that might have been someone dragging a dead tree across the porch. I opened just in time to spot a flash of pink and purple streaking into the foyer. Saki and Aiko, our four-year-old twin nieces, are whirlwinds of tutus, sparkles, and poor life choices.“UNCLE DON!” they screamed in unison, already halfway to the dining room, screaming over who could find the “spinny top things” first.Fore-followed behind, wheezing and glittering.“WHY are they sticky already?
