For Thea Martinelli, burnout is real. After working as a firefighter for the Emergency Services Department over the last ten years, she can't stomach any more close calls. Just when she's ready to hang up the hose for good, she's offered an out: stay on as the station's new social media coordinator. It's a move that would keep her on the squad and off the truck--if&nbsp;she makes it through the probation period. Basically, she needs to learn everything there is to know about social media...fast. Librarian and social media coordinator Simon Osman is shocked to learn his new responsibilities include showing Thea Martinelli--his high school crush--the ins and outs of digital engagement.

But as the chaos of the holiday season unfolds, Thea and Simon find that the closer they work together, the hotter their attraction burns.

The Anti-Social Season: A Spicy Workplace Christmas Romance (First Responders, 2)

All the world's a stage until your heart is on the line. All Alicia Johnson has ever wanted is to be able to slip into someone else's life, clothing, and makeup to become a murderess, a socialite, a mother, or a nurse for an episode or a season. And she's good at it. Being an actress comes with a healthy dose of financial insecurity and a willingness to live out of two jammed suitcases, ready to go wherever the next director wants her. Up until now, it's been worth it for the creative escape and the thrill of applause. All Colin St. Cyr has ever wanted is to win, going all-in to get Congress to see things his clients' way. Despite being a Brit in Washington, D.C., he is well off, well connected...and well on his way to becoming a boring bachelor forevermore after a heinous breakup. Especially as he's just made an arse of himself with the first woman who has knocked him sideways in years. It won't matter how much money he donates to the theater; Alicia Johnson is still going to look at him like a goddess looks at a flea. The only thing he can do is use his highly attuned persuasive skills to talk her into giving him a second chance. The stage is set, but by the final act, is it a love story between the provocative actress and the cultured power-player or will it end in tragedy?

Love isn't just in the air: it's contagious. Kathleen Fitzgerald has never been the leading lady. In her stage roles, she's always the second banana or the sidekick. And in love she's forever the bridesmaid, never the bride. So, showing up to support her best friend at her weekend wedding by the sea is a well-rehearsed role. Until one look from handsome fellow wedding guest Russell King makes her feel like a star. Law professor Russell was raised to be the consummate gentleman, and after a failed marriage, he's doubly hesitant about getting involved with women. Except Kathleen is a knockout: creative, irreverent, and unconventional, making him seriously consider stepping off his carefully-trodden life path to trip the light fantastic with the quicksilver actress. The scene is set for a weekend fling but when the curtain comes down there just might be potential for an encore that leads to love.
