Aurora Alexander found her doppelganger in the form of talk show hostess Marsha Chambers. Yet the two of them couldn't be further apart in personality. Aurora, a trained psychologist, supports her mother's nursing home expenses through celebrity impersonation. Following a less than stellar interview with Martha Chambers, Aurora is mistaken for Marsha by a kidnapper who attempts to abduct her. Fighting him off long enough for producer, Duncan West, to scare the man away, Aurora's life is plunged into danger for the famous face she wears.
Duncan West would like nothing better than to have his connections to the East Coast severed. He wants to be in Hollywood making feature films, not adhering to the whims of a diva. But when her look alike appears and he convinces her to stand in for the absent hostess, her life is put in danger and all Duncan instincts to stay away from her are put to the test. Aurora is tied to the East by a suffering parent. And Duncan wants to seek his fortune in the West. Can East and West meet?

When you're sitting on top of the world,
You only have two decisions to make.
Do you fall to the left or the right?
Erika St. James has seen both the best of life and the worst of it. Losing the only parent who loved her unconditionally when she was twelve, she fled to a man who became a dear friend and one who taught her to run a global business. However, he didn't teach her to how to find good relationships -- especially the man-woman kind. On his death-bed he tells her a secret, one that brings Michael Lawrence in to again upset her emotions.
Michael Lawrence, a traumatized attorney, turned his back on the law and escaped to a solitary life in the Maryland mountains. Discovering he is heir to a fortune, he can only claim it if he returns to the city and works with Erika St. James, the beautiful new president of a multinational corporation. While his thoughts of her stray from the boardroom to the bedroom, someone else has plans to make him pay for past deeds. And Erika is the pawn he'll use to force Michael into his crosshairs.
If they survive, will they be able to love again?
One Christmas Night
Elizabeth Gregory's world fell apart one Christmas, and she never wants to see the man who caused it - her ex-fiance, James Hill. He might be boy-wonder to the investment world, but to her, he's the man involved in her sister's death. Yet as the holiday season happily paints the streets in the nation's Capitol red and green, Elizabeth is standing on his doorstep. For her it's the worse time of the year. But James makes her a wager - one she can't refuse.
James found and lost the love of his life, but providence brings back to him during the holiday season. This time he'll never let her go - even if he has to convince her he's what she wants. Can they find magic on this one Christmas night?
