The Hall Sisters
About this ebook series
Holly's not having a Holly Jolly Christmas, but only because Santa's finally dropped a man in her stocking.
The DECK THE HALLS decorating service is on the verge of major success after five years of backbreaking struggle. No one knows better than Holly that now isn't the time to let romance get in the way . . . not even if blue-eyed attorney Adam Markland is always there when she trips over her own fast-moving feet.
The last thing Holly Hall needs is a handsome, angry lawyer wondering why she outfitted his law firm in holiday décor and a pet bear rug named Bianca.
Adam's effect on Holly quickly becomes obvious to her grateful sisters. Any man who can distract Holly from her take-no-prisoners management style is fine by them.
This is Holly's chance to prove that she not only knows where to display the perfect sprig of mistletoe, but what to do when Mr. Perfect pulls her close beneath it.

He was about to get played . . .
He was her trump card.
When failed actress Laurel Hall comes home for Christmas, she thinks the worst thing she'll have to do is explain her lackluster career. Then she learns that her family has another job for her--and this one's going to be toughest role yet. The part? To lure the man who ruined her father into a high-stakes poker game and then take him down.
But to do that, Laurel will need a coach. That's where gorgeous Jack Hartman, a former world-class gambler, comes in. Only Laurel quickly discovers she'd like more from Jack than poker tips.
Okay, so Jack has a bit of a shady past with cards. But he's over that now. Still, there's no way he can resist Laurel's request. And as he teaches her the tricks of the trade, he and Laurel get close. Very close. But it soon becomes evident that Laurel doesn't need a coach--she needs Jack to play the game in her stead.
But if he wins, will lovely Laurel be part of the spoils?
The bare fact is: Ivy Hall isn't good at covering bare facts. Her dream job as a rookie sportswriter for the Austin Globe loses its glitter when a locker room fiasco gets her demoted from a major sports beat. Worse, senior sportswriter Rick Scott witnessed her humiliation.
When she regains her mojo by writing a popular sports column about coaching a girls' soccer team, Rick starts coaching a girls' team, too. Is this a challenge? Is he rubbing dirt in her wounds? Trying to make her look bad again and get her fired?
Rick's definitely got a game plan, but it's about winning her over. She likes to compete, and so does he. But falling in love is one sport they can both win.
