About this series
Dawn Opens All New Views
Randi grinned as she deliberately stomped her way through the piles of scarlet maple leaves. Best time of year, autumn. So many amazing leaves to crunch! She would've spent her whole morning, her whole day, charging through piles of delightful leaves, but sunrise was coming.
She wanted to greet it.
Halfway up the mountain behind the campus, looking out over the valley as the sun colored everything gold and red and lovely, Randi met the future.
Thank goodness that the future had quick reflexes!

Tai bounced on her toes, the dock rocking underneath her. Icy cold water washed up over her toes. At least her friends would be here soon for a week-long vacation. When they arrived, Tai's heart lurched because wow. Wow. They'd brought their new roommate and Lake was everything Tai had ever dreamed of. Maybe they'd both find what they wanted on the shores of Twilight Island.
- Better With You: Holiday Romances, #5
5
Divorce. Morgan supposed she should consider it a defeat. She didn't. Now she was free at last. It was glorious, though she desperately needed furniture now. Quinn's life was a disaster. Customer service sucked, even with commissions. Her apartment was a pit and Quinn couldn't seem to fix it. Dealing with customers was better than dealing with the mess her life had become. But Morgan was like no other customer Quinn had ever had. Pretty soon, Quinn didn't want Morgan to leave, even if it meant facing up to all her problems.
- Desire's Escape: Holiday Romances, #8

Grey did not want to go down to his birthday party. At all. Father had deliberately invited the three people Grey most feared in all the world. Each of them seemed to feel some claim on him. His opinion of that did not matter at all. Leaping from the library windows down into the rose bushes seemed a better option than facing the festivities below. At least until surprise guests gave Grey an option that he never expected: Escape. With them. Desire's Escape is a story where love, once a weakness, becomes salvation. Queer readers are sure to love Grey, Ekene and Yasu as they chance everything for a freedom and love.

Except that she was lonely. Really lonely. Apart, the two of them were broken. Together? The potential was endless. If they could find a way to be together for more than just a week-long vacation.
- Wedding in the Soup: Holiday Romances, #9
9
Sasa hummed as she peeled carrots. The soup was going to be perfect. Nice and thick and rich, just what they needed for a day spent installing a new super-amazing sixty-five inch TV. Van's new TV. They'd spent their entire Christmas bonus on it after saving it for six months so it must be something wonderful, not that Sasa really cared. She'd rather read while Van gamed. It was… comfortable watching Van play. But a new TV and a pot of soup could sometimes combine to create things that Sasa would never have imagined in a million years. Wedding in the Soup is a sweet romance short that asexual and nonbinary readers are sure to love—Don't miss this one!

Jyoti bounced on her toes, eyeing the traffic whizzing by. Could she make a run for it? No, not a chance. Too many cars and too many people brought out by the sudden sunshine in Seattle. Ketut was going to laugh. Nothing Jyoti could do about that but run once the light changed. Getting there did bring laughter but also a lovely new lady and a surprise blind date that Jyoti hoped wouldn't ever end.
- The Girl of Silver Clouds: Holiday Romances, #4
4
Five Holidays. Five celebrations, none of which Caron truly wanted to attend. The thought of facing them, even with her friends, made anxiety race through her. No matter how much Caron wanted to flee, she couldn't. Wouldn't. She couldn't allow her anxiety to control her life. Especially not once she met Sabah who had as many issues as Caron did. For Sabah, Caron was willing to make the effort.
- An Island Forgot: Holiday Romances, #7
7
Moving always sucked. Truth of nature. Minke let her forehead drop against the moving truck steering wheel. Shoulda known better than to volunteer to move stuff for her friends with a storm coming in. Snow in the Puget Sound meant everything was shut down. Fortunately, Minke's friends knew someone who could put her up for the night, moving truck and all. Dana wasn't what Minke'd expected. But then she wasn't what Dana expected either. Dinner and books looked a hell of a lot better than slogging through the snow and ice. Maybe this time moving wasn't such a bad thing after all. An Island Forgot is a sweet romance with a pan and a black trans woman uniting over good food, good conversation and the joy of finding a kindred spirit that's sure to bring a smile to your face and a bounce to your step.
- Pink Trucks and Bow Ties: Holiday Romances, #11

Dating sucked. Rahat sighed and stirred xyr drink just a bit too forcefully. Xyr blind date had disappeared into the bar, never to return apparently. Xe wasn't what was expected, too chubby and old and unattractive. So xe left only to be stopped at the door by rain. Which turned the night into a good one by pure happenstance. Meeting someone as congenial as Chandra was a shock after xyr evening so far. She was everything xyr departed date was not. And, perhaps, there might be hope for a happy ending with Chandra that Rahat had given up on entirely. Aromantic readers will be delighted by Rahat and Chandra's story which is sure to leave you grinning by the end.
- Rings of Beginning: Holiday Romances, #14

Minke blew a drop of sweat out of her eyes. Again. Too many boxes carried up too many steps. Helping Finely move into his new apartment was fine. Cast on his leg meant he sure couldn't do it. The weird part was afterwards when Finley's neighbor Ndidi thrust a ring box into her hand and ran away without explaining. It was a start. Of something. Minke really didn't know what. But as she got to know Ndidi better, Minke started to dream. Question was whether or not that dream could ever become a reality. And whether Ndidi could look twice at someone like Minke. Rings of Beginning is a sweet romance that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you grinning when it's done. Don't miss out!
- Theorem of Bright Half-Life: Holiday Romances, #12
12
Octavia raised her chin, pursed her lips and carefully traced her absolute favorite bubblegum pink lipstick exactly around the edges of her lips. Maybe not the best choice for a Pacific Northwest lesbian bar but Octavia knew what she wanted and what she didn't. "You're tall for a girl," Mom always said and that was certainly true. Didn't mean Octavia couldn't find a lovely butch girl who wanted a big happy femme, now did it? The question was whether any of the girls in the bar tonight would actually realize that Octavia was looking for love. Theorem of Bright Half-Light is a bubbly rom-com about love, life and going for what you want when everyone assumed you were after something else entirely.
- The Fortunes of the Evening: Holiday Romances, #16
16
Lupe glared across the ballroom, clutching her flute of champagne, while Aviv tugged at her elbow. Another wedding. Another damned wedding and Lupe was still single. Forty and single, no less. Her relatives wanted to set her up? Fine. Great. Bring it on. The police probably already were on alert. They'd get once dance, one conversation, and that's it. Win her heart or go drink themselves into a stupor at the bar. Winner take all. Or Lupe take all because one way or the other, she'd be the winner in this one. Speed dating at her niece's wedding might get her the romance of her dreams. Or not. Either way, Lupe was giving it her all for one night only.
- Dandelion Intrigues: Holiday Romances, #19

Ellington whistled along with the birds as he strolled across the University of Montana quad in shorts. After the Arctic blast shut the school, the sun was a blessing. Just wasn't enough to keep him from freezing. Pretty quick, Ellington jogged painfully to the library so that he didn't freeze solid. Last thing he expected was the gorgeous jock Leslie Pherigo to spot him, talk to him, and ask for tutoring. Nothing could come of it. Ellington was too much of a nerdy nobody for Leslie to give him the time of day. Right?
- Escape: Holiday Romances, #22
22
In lockdown, there is no escape. Kenzie carefully measured off a strand of green embroidery thread. The precise movements, small and dainty, didn't set Devon off. Normally. Nothing had been normal since lockdown, though, especially with Devon. Between his abuse, the pandemic trapping her in Devon's apartment, and Devon's mother in a Mood, she wasn't sure she could survive this much longer. But Devon's mother's Mood got Devon out of the house and Kenzie finally had the chance she'd been desperate for. In a time of pandemic, freedom to move is a precious commodity.
- Barter Economy: Holiday Romances, #21
21
2020 changed everything. For the better. Spring 2020 was as different as anything Kanta had ever experienced, including transitioning. She really wasn't sure how she'd survive until things got back to normal. No one was. Thing was, she wasn't all that sure she wanted "normal" when she got to barter brownies for jambalaya and home-bakes sourdough bread with her downstairs neighbors. Everyone in the apartment building was terrified, sure, but they were all so kind. Especially Avia who was bright and cheerful and so enthusiastic as she ran errands, carried mountains of traded food around, and beamed so beautifully behind her Hawaiian-print mask. Kanta could get used to a world that included Avia smiling up at her that way.
- The Absence of Wrath: Holiday Romances, #23

The whole thing screamed danger. Manu knew he should keep walking despite the rain, despite the lack of coat or umbrella or anything, but with his roommate Kapua wanted by the police and nowhere safe to go, the offer of a ride wherever he wanted to go was too good to pass up. Probably too good to be true, actually. But Ekene didn't give of creeper vibes. Despite everything, he seemed like an honestly nice guy doing a good turn. If only the little things weren't weird enough to make the hair stand up on the back of Manu's neck, Manu might, possibly, want to stick around Ekene for a lot longer than just one night.
- A Chance for Tomorrow: Holiday Romances, #25
