The Promise by Carly Fall Three years ago, Gabby watched her lover and best friend, Lucas Tate, walk out of her life. Despite his promise that they'd be reunited after her high school graduation, a few months later, Lucas' correspondence ceased and she never heard from him again. She encounters him once more on a snowy New Year's Eve—when he walks into the convenience store where she's working. With the bad weather closing all highways, the two end up stranded together for the night, trapped with each other, along with their past. Will Lucas' reasons for abandoning Gabby be enough for her to forgive him and move into the future he so desperately wants with her?
When the Party’s Over by Casse NaRome Le Lan Lee has a choice to make. On New Year's Eve, she receives a message from her past. Will she answer Fate's call? The decision regarding helping an old flame out of a jam will lead her down the path of life or death, and love or hate.
Satisfaction by Elise Marion Audrey Hammond can’t think of anything worse than being trapped in her office with co-worker Shane Watson on New Year’s Eve.

Yet, when a broken elevator at an office party leaves the two stuck together with no chance of escape, Audrey may find that Shane is not at all the person she thought he was—and maybe, she’ll find herself falling for the last guy on Earth she’d have ever thought she wanted.

And his gentle hands teach her that there is more to her than the scars she carries.

This is a compilation of short stories by some of my favorite authors and is a nice, light read for a cold winter night. All the stories have a theme of being set on New Years eve and new beginnings. It's an awesome way to ring in the New Year!

All of the stories were great but two of them really stood out to me, and I will definitely be looking into more titles by these authors. Recommended!
This book contains six short romance stories revolving around New Years Eve. I read it primarily because I'm a fan of Carly Fall and I wanted to read the back story of Lucas and Gabby who were featured in Carly's book, Beyond The Past, Supernatural Renegades #2. Although, I purchased it for Carly I found that I enjoyed the other authors immensely.
