In "Holiday Spirit", written by Kay Hooper, a matchmaking grandmother and three holiday ghosts arrange a sensuous reunion for a headstrong noblewoman and her seductive former fiancee. In "Surrender", written by Lisa Kleypas, an aristocratic Bostonian learns the true meaning of giving when she falls tenderly and passionately in love with a troubled stranger: her husband.

"New York Times" bestselling author Kay Hooper tells a timelessly seductive tale of a romance touched by the paranormal and of a woman who opens a door to the unknown and finds a stranger with an irresistible invitation....
With its antebellum setting and gallant history, Jasmine Hall was more than just a business for Banner Clairmont. The lovingly preserved plantation-era inn had been home to the Clairmont family for generations. But the realities of modern real-estate had made it time to sell even the most priceless treasures. So it was hardly with a great deal of enthusiasm that Banner led real-estate speculator Rory Stewart around the property. How could this stranger--whose southern charm and universal good looks made it impossible to entirely distrust him--have any idea of Jasmine Hall's true value? Yet what was Banner to make of the fact that Rory had seen the ghosts that never showed themselves to outsiders? Was he destined not only to save the Hall but to live there? Was his fate entangled with hers? Or was she banking too much on an old family legend ... and wishful thinking?

And if that’s not enough, Morgan begins to realize that she’s surrounded by secrets and lies, and that someone very close to Max is moving behind the scenes, intent on murder as well as robbery...someone whose ultimate plan threatens to ruin them all.
