Festive Nights

Three holidays. Three awakenings. Three nights that rewrite the rules.

When Diana attends her daughter's New Year's Eve party, she never expects to catch the eye of Jack, her daughter's childhood friend who has grown into a commanding man with secrets in his basement and the confidence to claim what he wants.

Victoria's marriage has grown cold until Valentine's Day forces her to confront what's missing. When her husband surprises her with a box of restraints and the dominant energy she's been craving, their bedroom becomes a battlefield for reclaiming lost passion.

Abby thinks her English countryside vacation will be quaint and quiet, until May Day reveals the village's ancient fertility traditions and she finds herself crowned May Queen by a mysterious Green Man whose massive presence awakens desires she never knew existed.

From New Year's liberation to Valentine's bondage to May Day's pagan rituals, these women discover that holidays aren't just celebrations but invitations to explore the forbidden. Each story captures the intoxicating moment when ordinary wives and mothers shed their everyday masks and embrace their deepest hungers.

Festival nights are when we give ourselves permission to be free.

All stories were previously published and have been selected from our backlist for readers who crave holiday romance with a deliciously dark edge.
