A collection of lunch-length reads: four short stories and a novella. I offer them as a sample of my writing style, the stories I love to tell, and the types of hero and heroine I love creating. I hope you enjoy getting lost in my tales.
Thank you to Marcia Bucktin, Jennifer Coleman, Dawn Morse, Sheryl Lynne Nyary, and Teri Slabinski Donaldson, who planted the seeds that became these stories.

What better time to fall in love than during the magic of a family-centred festival? Jude has collected six published Christmas themed stories to produce ♥If Mistletoe Could Tell Tales♥.

Contents comprise novellas ♥Gingerbread Bride♥, ♥Candle’s Christmas Chair♥, ♥A Suitable Husband♥, and ♥Lord Calne’s Christmas Ruby♥, and stories from the Tales collections, All that Glisters and Magnus and the Christmas Angel. The collection won’t, probably, interest those who already have most of those books, but Jude is also be selling the new one, ♥Lord Calne’s Christmas Ruby♥, as a stand-along ebook novella.

A collection of Jude Knight's New Zealand stories: two historical and three contemporary suspense.

All That Glisters: In gold rush New Zealand, they seek the treasure of a true heart.

Forged in Fire: Forged in Fire, their love will create them anew.

A Family Christmas: She’s hiding out. He’s coming home. And there’ll be storms for Christmas.

Abbie’s Wish: Abbie’s Christmas wish draws three men to her mother. One of them is a monster.

Beached: The truth will wash away her coastal paradise…

... from the imagination of award-winning author Jude Knight. Nine Regency plus one colonial New Zealand and one medieval Scotland. Multiple tropes, catastrophes and barriers on the way to a happy ending.
