Death, Taxes, and Mistletoe Mayhem

It Happened Under the Mistletoe

Midnight’s Surrender

Wanderlust

Manda Collins spent her teen years wishing she’d been born a couple of centuries earlier, preferably in the English countryside. Time travel being what it is, she resigned herself to life with electricity and indoor plumbing, and read lots of books. When she’s not writing, she’s helping other people use books, as an academic librarian.
