Christmas in July! (Part II) **CLOSED**

Merry Christmas!!

*Yes, I know it's only July.
**Yes, I know it's the last day of July. Bear with me.

I've been a little lazy/stressed/distracted this month so I haven't gotten this giveaway up before now. But since it includes one hardcover AND two paperbacks, maybe you can forgive me?

Nora Roberts is one of my absolute favorite authors because somehow, for a reason I cannot for the life of me explain, her books don't get old. Or feel repetitive. Each one is unique and while I may not love them all equally I usually end up enjoying the time I spend with them anyway.

Victoria Dahl is a new-ish to me author and though I liked her books I think they might have a better home with someone who really loves historicals.

The titles up for grabs this time around:

The Gift by Nora Roberts

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
After years of world travel, prizewinning reporter Jason Law returned home to New Hampshire. He had carried the memories of Faith Kirkpatrick, the girl he left behind, for ten years --- now he was determined to win back her love. But she was a woman with responsibilities, and he was nothing but a wandering nomad. All they could have was this one Christmas together. Could Faith summon the courage to give Jason a once-in-a-lifetime holiday gift?

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
Identical twin boys Zeke and Zach wanted only one gift from Santa: a new mom! And when they first meet their music teacher at school, they could hardly believe their luck --- Miss Davis was a mom made-to-order. But convincing their dad was a lot harder than they thought. Mac Taylor wasn't willing to risk his heart, but when Nell brought love and laughter into all their lives, his heart began to thaw like a spring snow. Will the boys get their Christmas present after all?

To Tempt a Scotsman by Victoria Dahl

SHE HAS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE—
After finding herself at the center of a very public scandal that left one man dead and another on the run, Lady Alexandra Huntington has exiled herself to her brother's estate and is content to manage his affairs. But the arrival of darkly handsome Collin Blackburn awakens her curiosity and her desire—and the advantage of being a fallen woman is that she can be ruined only once.

EXCEPT HER HEART.
After a promise sworn to his father, Collin Blackburn is compelled to seek the aid of the woman who brought about his brother's death in a senseless duel. Yet Lady Alexandra is not the shameless femme fatale he expected. In fact, Collin suspects she is guilty of nothing more than a hunger to experience passion, and the brawny Scot is certainly equipped to oblige. But the quick-witted, keenly sensual Alexandra has a few lessons of her own to impart—on life, love, and the delicious joys of succumbing to temptation.

A Rake's Guide to Pleasure by Victoria Dahl

TRUE PLEASURE.
Raised by a titled, yet degenerate, father, Emma Jensen never imagined the gambling lessons she learned as a child would one day serve her well. When she finds herself in dire need of money, she concocts the alias of Dowager Lady Denmore and sets off to bewitch London's noblemen by engaging them in games of chance. The fact that respectable ladies do not gamble does not intimidate her in the least. But the darkly handsome Duke of Somerhart does-for he's awakened a deep, sensual hunger in her.

IS ALWAYS WORTH THE GAMBLE.
The dashing Duke of Somerhart has the notorious reputation of being one of London's most incurable rogues. When he meets the alluring Lady Denmore, he is immediately intrigued. Her recklessness and innocence intertwined titillates him as no other woman ever has. But what secret is the lovely Lady Denmore hiding? He's determined to find out. But first he must seduce her until she surrenders completely to his most wicked desires...
