Margie Murphy is fifty-two and doing just fine on her own, thank you very much. She never needed, nor wanted a man. After all, they have only ever hurt or left her. Between Amelia, the niece she raised to adulthood, and her viral YouTube channel that reflects her colorful personality and skills in the kitchen, Margie has everything she ever needed. Almost.

After three years, Frank Campbell, is still grieving the wife he lost to cancer. His sons want him to grow and heal, and urge him to downsize and move out of their family home. When Frank agrees, he finds himself living in a country house, ripe for extreme Christmas decorating-something he does to honor his late wife each year. Things seem to be working out, until his new next door neighbor, Margie, comes charging over and tries to shut down his Christmas joy.

Tension only grows when the two learn they are co-sponsors for the small town Christmas Market, and will have to put their differences aside in order to make it a success. But it's hard to collaborate, when the top seller at the Christmas Market will take home a prize for the charity of their choice. And Frank's charity could have a very real impact on his sick granddaughter.

Soon the two are battling both at home and in pursuit of the charity prize. Between trying to sabotage each other's efforts, Margie and Frank don't know how they will survive as neighbors. But one enthusiastic little girl, an aging basset hound, a weather disaster, and a little Christmas magic will force them to put their differences aside and learn that life can still begin anew after fifty.

Celia Martinez and Brian Young have been best friends since high school and now share an apartment together in Dallas. They are opposites in every way. She's the extrovert to his introvert, the sunshine to his grumpy, the interior designing fashionista to his online gamer. But he's been there, quietly cheering her on in every event the highly competitive Celia has entered them into over the years.

Little does Celia know that Brian has harbored a crush on her for more than a decade-and there is no way that Celia can find out. It would ruin their friendship and living situation forever.

But when their friend Katie shows up and begs the two of them to join her team for a city-wide, New Year's Eve race in their Louisiana hometown, Celia is ready to jump in feet first. After all, the prize is $10,000 and Celia is desperate to use the money to help her sister. Brian wants nothing to do with the race-but he can't say no to Celia.

Soon Brian and Celia join Katie and her fiance, Jacob, for the night time competition. Following the clues, they will sing, dance, race, draw, and strategize their way to the finish line. They have built the perfect team, but they didn't count on Celia's high school rival showing up and trying to sabotage their sprint to the finish line.

The more they work together, the more Brian and Celia have to confront their deeply buried, smoldering attraction to one another. Can their team overcome the obstacles and odds and start the New Year off with a financial bang?

Secrets divide the Resistance. The Watchdogs grow in power. California is ready to collapse. Worst of all: Elijah let Trevor die.

Devastated by his failure to protect Trevor, Elijah resigns himself to the safe haven while the three gang leaders establish the United Front to secure California. Yet life in the safe haven is not peaceful. Elijah relives Trevor's death in his nightmares. The United Front calls him back to the war but never explains why.

Elijah believes the United Front is concealing the truth about the Resistance's impact on the war. His suspicions come to a head when five super-charged Watchdogs trap him in the mysterious city of Arcadia.

With no food, water, or chance of contacting the United Front, Elijah has to find a way out, only to discover the uncomfortable reality of his place in the war. But Arcadia offers revenge and redemption for Trevor, and Elijah is willing to sacrifice his morals to achieve it, even if he breaks the team's oath to never kill.

No one is safe.

But Elijah has to fight. That is how he functions, stemming from an old promise to his brother, who was tormented by bullies: stand against adversity.

Elijah escapes to a haven and becomes vital to the war effort by befriending the three gang leaders who ravaged California. Now, there is a chance to stop the invasion. That is if the gang leaders work together... and if Elijah is willing to lose his life.
