Blurb:
Special-needs teacher Kayla Johnston writes off any shot at New Year’s Eve romance when she’s summoned to a fundraising event for her school at the remote estate of a wealthy would-be-donor. But when a massive snowstorm hits and Kayla careens off the road, the sexy stranger who rescues her brings to mind cozy fireplaces and steamy midnight kisses…among other things.
Reclusive entrepreneur Ryan Langford may be missing his own fundraiser, but being marooned in a cabin with Kayla beats ducking a room full of people after his money any day. Too bad she’s so irritated with the gazillionaire who ruined her New Year’s Eve that he feels like he has to lie about …

Nevada, 1869: Beyond the pitiless 40-Mile Desert lies Golgotha, a cattle town that hides more than its share of unnatural secrets.

The Wedding Expo Winner Post
Hey Everyone!
I might have mentioned last week that I am attending a wedding planner training on Sundays for 2 months and though I have to get up at the crack of dawn 6:20 am *yawns* the course is really interesting! So to get some work contacts and do some preparatory research for my final thesis today I am attending a wedding expo and hopefully will come home with a lot of cards and new contacts. 😉
Besides that my weekend was productive baking-wise: I did a double treat of orange meringue pie and folded cinnamon cake. Although it turned out beautiful we weren’t blown away by the orange pie as it wasn’t that special sweet and sour, so we’ll stick with lemon and lime pie in the future, but the folded cinnamon cake became an instant hit with the family! So if you want something …

Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! This week have some updates and news on Kelley Armstrong (although belatedly), Carina Press’ expansion in the UK and Ireland and more.
First up, Kelley Armstrong’s Bitten which is the first book in her Women of the Otherworld series, has been picked up by the Canadian Space channel for a 13 episode series which will focus on Elena and Clay and the rest of the pack. This was announced earlier in the year but I missed this and this took me by surprised when I stumbled across a mention that the series was being adapted for television. Space also announced that they will commence filming later this Spring, although no news on casting, but it looks like Urban Fantasy is becoming a rich source for television and movies for adapations at the moment.
Scholastic has declared that they will be launching their first Fantasy multi-platform …

When human society is no longer an option for them, they move in among the resident vampires, werebeasts, and witches of the Lake Tahoe region. Could this be the true home they’ve longed for?
