STARLA KAYE’S Christmas Romances
I love Christmas, cowboys, and romance. In case you do, too, and haven’t yet read some of my Christmas romances, here are my holiday stories. To date, I have published three anthologies and one separate novella.
COWBOYS IN CHARGE
The new Christmas anthology from Black Velvet Seductions includes seven stories of strong, loving cowboys and the women who try their patience. These are romantic stories with a touch of domestic discipline.

Snowed in with Her Cowboy
James wants Kelly to quit work and start a family, but she resists the idea. Will he give up the idea of a family or will he give up Kelly?
Too Much Red at Christmas Time
Lizzie has a bizarre addiction to Christmas shopping and she can’t help herself, even knowing she will face the wrath of her husband who believes in domestic discipline.
For the Love of His Cowgirl
Amber missed the fun little games she and Adam used to play. There never seemed to be time for steamy sex, or even the spankings he’d occasionally given her for various infractions of rules or for misbehavior.
Could she entice him back, get the dwindling fires of their love going again?
Cowboys and Their Toys
Jennifer loved Jason and she’d trusted him as he led her into the BDSM lifestyle. But now he wanted to take things to a more intense level and she balked at it. Would she lose him if she didn’t agree to go 24/7?
Naughty, Naughty Cowgirl
Spankings had not solved all of their problems. Justin had known something was wrong with Nicci. He knew he should have tried to talk to her sooner, but he’d avoided that until she moved out and shattered him.
All I Want for Christmas (Biggest Prize Ever)
Krystal loved the bad-ass bull rider, but she wasn’t into sharing Ryan with all of the rodeo bunnies who lusted after him. She’d spent too many years living for his visits home. It was time to move on and find someone she could depend on to be there all of the time.
A Special Gift for Her Cowboy
Christina wanted time and attention from Joshua but he’d become sour, lost his sense of humor, rarely made love to her. He hadn’t even spanked her in months. She’s not willing to give up on her cowboy. Maybe a Christmas gift on the edgy side will help win him back.
HOLLY’S BIG BAD SANTA
Publisher Buy Link: Black Velvet Seductions

Holly was leaving Danville for a new life in California. Suddenly he was desperate to return home, to convince her to build a life with him.
But convincing Holly proved to be more difficult than he’d thought. Holly had always loved Jared, but after fifteen years she’d given up hope of him returning to Danville and she’d decided to move on with her life, a life which didn’t include Jared.
NORTH POLE MAGIC
Publisher Buy Link: Blushing Books
This is a Christmas anthology of three full novellas, 17 chapters, and over 90,000 words from Blushing Books.

The first story, All He Wants for Christmas, focuses on Santa’s daughter, Merry. Kris decides to play matchmaker between Merry and a cowboy, Nick Holiday, who had strayed away from celebrating Christmas. Merry has driven her father crazy long enough. Kris believes it’s time for another man to love and tame her wild ways. He gives her the task of working as Nick’s cook at his ranch and bringing him back to Christmas, healing his emotional wounds…or else be assigned the unpleasant, permanent role of manager of the Toy Factory.
The second story, Santa’s Surprise, focuses on Santa’s oldest son, Nicholas. Kris decides it’s time to retire as Santa and pass the role onto Nicholas, who also needs to get married and work on the grandchildren Kris wants. Nick has never wanted to take over the Santa role and steers clear of anything Santa related, going so far as to move to Kauai and run a tourist business there. Misty (Mistletoe) McGuire, a sexy little Hawaiian who collects Santa figurines and runs a Christmas shop, comes into his life and suddenly his world is changing. His dad is persistent. He is resistant. And Misty is caught in the middle of it all.
The final story, His Only Wish, Santa focuses on his youngest son, Pere Noel. Kris unhappily discovers that Pere has been lying to him. While visiting one day with his old friend, Pere Fouettard, the two fathers discover that their children have been married for almost seven years. Pere Kringle (now going by Perry Ingle) agreed to a marriage of convenience with Nikki Fouettard (now going by Nikki Ambrose) to keep both of their families from harassing them into getting married, when neither were ready to settle down. Now they must face their families, face the identity lies both have told, and discover the real reason neither have filed for an annulment.
RANCH CHRISTMAS
Publisher Buy Link: Blushing Books
Barnes & Noble Buy Link (Nook)
Ranch Christmas is a three novella anthology of hot cowboys and sexy spankings at Christmas, from Blushing Books.
Mistletoe and Holly
Holly Peterson had been humiliated a year ago on Christmas Eve by her ex-fiancé, who considered her only a “passable” choice as a wife – while intending to keep his lover on the side. She walked away that night; certain she’d never love again, and never celebrate Christmas again. … Brandon McNamara was in desperate need of a highly-skilled personal assistant to replace the one who’d eloped and moved without giving notice. He needed someone to come in and immediately handle the planning details of the company’s annual Christmas party. Holly was in no way qualified, but there was just something about the spirited young woman. He did warn her that he expected a lot of hard work from her and that there would be serious consequences should she not obey and comply with all of his orders. She took the job anyway – heaven help them both.
Bah Humbug Cowboy
Lacey McAdams had returned home unexpectedly during an early December snowstorm after being gone longer than she’d planned. She found her handsome husband with his arms around her best friend, kissing her. Her world shattered. She wasn’t sure she could ever forgive him or believe his excuse. … Devlin had been horrified to discover his arms around another woman, kissing her when his precious wife walked into their kitchen. He’d never meant to touch her friend. Numbness spread through him when she wouldn’t accept his gut-deep apology, when she drove away from him into the snowstorm. This could not be the end of them. He would do whatever necessary to make things right again.
Santa Wears Spurs
Roxie Evans had left California and moved halfway across the country to begin a new life as a librarian and try to find a happily-ever-after kind of man. What she found was a cowboy who approached her to be Santa’s helper this year at the ranchers association’s Christmas party. She jokingly teased him about him needing to do something big for her in return: be her love slave…. Well, hell, who was Dexter Malone to turn down such an opportunity! He could certainly do his civic duty by acting as Santa, and as offering his body to the pretty new woman in town.
