Nissa Kealoha helps control Santa's image-his brand. An Image
Specialist with Claus & Company, she helps promote his positive
image and deflect anything negative. This year, Nissa finds herself
counting the days until she can return to the Greater World to
goose holiday donations and remind people about the good Santa
represents. Until a man on a mission threatens her holiday plans.
Professor Ryan Palmer possesses the perfect voice in the perfect
body. And he uses that perfection to launch an anti-obesity
campaign against, of all people, Santa. Or as he sees it, Santa's
image. Ryan thinks the mythology of Santa eating cookies and
drinking eggnog contribute to the obesity epidemic-one he hopes to
help reverse. Nissa must stop Ryan from tarnishing Santa's image,
but when they meet, sparks fly-the magical, person-of-your-dreams
kind of sparks. Can Nissa keep her objectivity? Can Ryan let
himself believe in the impossible? Can they find their own kind of
Christmas magic together? "Grayson's clever, humor-tinged writing
is absolutely delightful." -Booklist
Book Three of the Fates Trilogy. Child psychologist Megan Kinneally
answers an urgent message from her brother Travers: Come to Las
Vegas immediately. He needs some kind of help. When she arrives,
she finds her nephew alone with a dog and three strange women whom
everyone calls the Fates. Her practical brother suddenly believes
in magic and secretly, Megan does too. Otherwise the experience she
just had on the interstate between Vegas and Los Angeles makes no
sense. Rob Chapeau, aka Robin Hood (yes, the Robin Hood), has just
made a mistake. He let one of the most beautiful women in the world
see him hunting fake rabbits in the desert with his very real
falcon. Rob still mourns the death of his true love eight centuries
before. But if a woman can ever bring him out of mourning, it's the
surprising Megan Kinneally who has no idea that she has the
strongest magic of all-or that she's enchanted him. Can Rob and
Megan save her family, rescue the Fates from a fate worse than
death, and find true love? Their journey will take them into the
bowels of Las Vegas, where the Faerie Kings rule and emotions
vanish. And, to make matters worse, an old enemy of the Fates
appears just as everything looks like it will resolve in a true
happily ever after.
THE SIDEKICK'S JOURNEY Darius has been a sidekick forever. Always
the best friend, never the hero. Known throughout the ages by a
variety of names from Merlin to Sancho Panza, Puck to Andvari,
Darius has kept his real identity secret. Three thousand years ago,
he disrespected true love. So, as punishment, the Fates took away
his good looks and forced him to unite 100 soul mates before he got
his looks back. He just united his 98th and 99th couple. He has one
left when he meets Ariel Summers. Ariel Summers, a world-famous
triathelete, is hiking the Idaho Wilderness to come to terms with a
career-ending injury. She falls off a cliff, but somehow manages to
stop on a ledge halfway down. But she needs help, and a handsome
man provides it-using magic. She meets Darius in his true form,
which he can revert to once a year-and falls in love with him. Or
does she? Because Darius's lifelong enemy, Cupid, lurks in the
woods, and he's shot an arrow at Ariel. Did it hit? And does it
matter? Because Darius knows Ariel is part of the final couple he
must unite. He can't bear to unite her with anyone else. But Darius
doesn't deserve true love. So he must break Cupid's spell, find
Ariel's soul mate, and unite them. Even though he doesn't want to.
Travers Kinneally doesn't believe in magic. But ever since he
picked up his son Kyle at his sister's house in Oregon, strange
things have happened to him. First, his sister asked him to drive
three strange women to Las Vegas. The women, whom he calls the Wyrd
Sisters, seem to attract every weird thing to them. Kyle even calls
them the Fates. The Fates need to find a detective named Zoe
Sinclair. When Travers finds her, she's not what he expects. He
thought he'd find an 80-year-old woman. Instead, he finds the most
beautiful woman he's ever seen. Zoe knows she's in trouble from the
moment Travers appears. He has brought the Fates, who've been
demoted by the Powers That Be. Worse, he has no idea that both he
and his son control a powerful magic. She doesn't want to help
them, but she can't avoid it-not just because of the magic, but
because of Travers himself. He's handsome, smart, and in trouble,
the kind of trouble that can get a savvy detective killed. Book Two
of the Fates Trilogy.
Kristine Grayson's twisted worldview shows itself in these five
stories of love, geeks, and happily ever after. In "The Charming
Way," a nerdy Prince Charming falls in love with an Evil
Stepmother. "Geeks Bearing Gifts" shows that even Greek Gods need
computer dating services sometimes. "Name-calling," the most
"normal" story in the book focuses on a woman who won't get married
until she figures out what to do about her last name. "Knowing
Jack," and "Artistic License," are a change of pace for Grayson-not
Greek Gods, but grifters in lighthearted romances set in the old
West.
Julka is part of Santa's Advance team, but she's spending her days
inspecting rooftop entrances for the Big Night. And she's traveling
with an annoying elf who just happens to be on double secret
forever probation. She hates her job. She wants excitement. She
wants to explore the Greater World. She wants romance. Disgraced
investment banker, Marshall, doesn't have a job. Not any more. He
spends his days trying to ingratiate himself with neighbors who
believe he's personally responsible for the Great Recession, even
though he isn't. Then he sees a pretty woman dressed like an elf
standing on a rooftop. He has no idea that entrancing vision will
change his life-forever. Part of the Kristine Grayson Santa Series.

time, lives in reduced circumstances. Now he runs a pet store in

women who control the magical universe. Only they've lost their
position, and they're on the run. They've turned to an old friend
for help, but that friend is dead. Her niece, Vivian Kineally, runs
her estate. Vivian, who doesn't even know magic exists. Vivian, who
loves comic books. Vivian, who also happens to be psychic. The
Fates steer Vivian to Dexter Grant. They want his help. He's not
willing to give it. But now that he's met Vivian, he's not willing
to give her up either. Dexter Grant must save the Fates-and
discover his own fate, all at the same time. Book One of the Fates
Trilogy. "With her series of magical romances, Kristine Grayson has
carved out her own special and unique place in the romance genre."
