Yule Marine
He used to believe in
magic…
Kaiden Nelson looked like every other Marine, only most of
his guys didn’t grow up in a family of nudists, celebrating the wheel of the
year and the lunar cycles. His buddies wouldn’t name him a witch, either. But after
more than a decade at war, Kaiden isn’t sure he can—or even wants to lay claim
to that calling anymore. He’s got too much blood on his hands and he’s
tired…tired of war, tired of fighting, some days…he’s tired of living. When
he’s sent on leave for the holidays, he’s unsure if he can ever really go home
again.
She’s a candle in the
night…
Rowan Harper lives in two worlds, the mundane where she
handles tech issues for a major corporation and the pagan where she celebrates
the sabbats and esbats with her coven. Like so many in the region, she keeps
her beliefs private. It makes life more bearable from others who would judge,
and she likes nothing better than the great sabbat retreats the coven takes to
the sprawling lake house. It’s a time where she sheds the shackles of everyday
life and embraces the divine.
The wheel turns…
When Kaiden turns up at the coven Yule, his Circle of family
and friends are eager to welcome him, but he feels unworthy of the open warmth
and shies away to the darkness, but Rowan refuses to leave him in the shadows.
Can the inexorable pull of one woman help him face down his demons as they hold
vigil against the longest night of the year?
Christmas Marine
Rebel with a holiday…
Ryan Edward Brun—Rebel to his friends—has always loved
Christmas. Whether raising money for Toys for Tots, delivering presents dressed
up like Santa Claus or driving his platoon crazy with Christmas ‘surprises.’ He
never lacked for Christmas spirit—until he lost his legs to an IED.
Operation Good Cheer…
Noel Torres has watched over Rebel for months, holding his
hand when he wanted to give up, and bullying him when he got lazy. But with
Christmas right around the corner and decorations filling every room in their
wing of Mike’s Place, the barren oasis Rebel surrounds himself in breaks her
heart. He won’t call his family, he’s not sending out cards, he won’t pull any
pranks—she decides to get this Marine back into the holiday action.
An elf on a mission…
With the help of some kids, a few good Marines, and Santa
Claus and Noel is determined to give Rebel a very Marine Christmas…
Holiday Marines
The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November, and December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to these youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
This holiday collection of the Always a Marine series is dedicated to Toys for Tots and the men and women of the United States Marine Corps Reserve who dedicate their time, their efforts, and their funds to delivering this message of hope. A portion of the proceeds from each of these books will be donated to Toys for Tots to continue that mission. Semper Fi.

And now for something completely different. I think this is terrific and look forward to learning new things. You don't often get a chance to read yule stories outside a historical or fantasy setting.
ReplyDeleteTwo more to add to the 1-click list! I really like that Heather has included so many different faith or spiritual practices in her "Always a Marine" series. It continues to be inclusive, open and respectful of all our men and women in uniform. GREAT SERIES!!

Nice, Heather. Impressed. These will sell well, as all your others have done. Nice clean covers, too.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any stories where the heroine is also a Marine? Plenty of dual Marine couples out there y'know ;)
