Single Dad’s Surrogate
Single Dad's Surrogate is now available!https://www.amazon.com/Single-Dads-Surrogate-Family-Billionaire-ebook/dp/B08KJJG5JH
A month ago, Radish invited me to their application. I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to sell books, so I decided to give it a try. I'm having a blast with their read-by-the-chapter model. It's a slightly different style of writing (each chapter is under 4k words and needs to end on a cliffhanger to entice readers to buy the next chapter!).
I wrote “Single Dad's Surrogate” under a different pen name, but it fits so well under the Radish design that I wanted to bring it back to Krista.
So, I did!
The book is now published on Radish, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple.
https://www.amazon.com/Single-Dads-Surrogate-Family-Billionaire-ebook/dp/B08KJJG5JHI hope you enjoy reading about a former surrogate mother turned nanny turned love interest!

Radish
I have joined the Radish platform! (And will have NEW books on there!)
A few weeks ago, Radish came to me and wanted to put “The Billionaire Baby Arrangement” up on their platform. It's retitled as “The Billionaire CEO's Baby” on their platform. (Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is important!)
I am loving the response from readers there, so I'm putting up a bunch of books on their site.
There's even a couple of new books coming!
What is Radish?
Happy Radish Dance!You download the app and then read books chapter by chapter! Many chapters are free or will be free after a short wait time. If you don't want to wait, you can purchase coins and buy that chapter now!
What does this mean for readers?
Both the Stepbrother novels (Stepbrother's Gift and Stepbrother Hero) are already up on Radish! Since Amazon doesn't like “stepbrother” books, I wasn't able to keep them there. They are available on Radish, though!
In the next few weeks, I'll be publishing two NEW novels on Radish! I wrote them under a different pen name, but they fit the Radish model so nicely that I want to share them there as Krista instead! I will also be publishing them on Amazon, Apple, B&N, and Kobo.
What about Kindle Unlimited (KU)?
For now, the Kisses books, the Kinds of Love, and the Billionaire and Brides books are all staying in KU, though you should borrow them now if you want to be able to use your KU subscription to read them.
If you're reading on Radish, the titles may be different.
I'm so excited about being on a new platform and finding new readers! These two billionaire baby books are going to do great on their platform and I'm so excited to get them new readers!

She decides to let her hair down and get a little unpredictable. That's when she meets a handsome bartender, Wyatt.

Christmas Wishes
A Hallmark-worthy small town Christmas Romance now available in Kindle Unlimited!
Molly absolutely loves Christmas. Candy canes, egg nog, mistletoe, the works. She can’t get enough of it. And so it’s only natural that she works at the local Christmas store, Christmas Wishes.
But when the Scrooge-like Nicholas comes to town, looking to sell his father’s business out from under him, it looks like Molly’s dream job is disappearing. Worse yet, she’s starting to fall for Nicholas, despite everything telling her not to.
With one last chance to save the store, Molly appeals to the power of Christmas itself, attempting to convert Nicholas to seeing the beauty of the holiday. Can Christmas magic really make Christmas Wishes come true?
Fans of Hallmark Christmas movies will be swept away by Christmas Wishes, a small-town standalone holiday romance with mistletoe and magic. Grab a glass of eggnog, sit by a warm fire, and enjoy!

Genre: Billionaire Romance
Release Date: July 12, 2019
Blurb
The man I love is
getting married. And it isn't to me.
I've been in love with Jonathan for as long as I can remember. I loved him as a
girl. I loved him as a teenager. I loved him as an adult. I love him still.
But he doesn't love me. How could he? He's a billionaire and I'm just the
butler's daughter. But when I attend a party in my Gucci dress and fancy heels,
he sees me in a whole new light.
And it couldn't have come at a worse time. His high-powered wedding is in two
weeks.
It falls to his older brother, Christopher, to protect Jonathan from himself.
As always. And this time, that means spiriting me away and tempting me with my
dream job on a tropical island.
Here, I learn that Christopher is so much more than I ever gave him credit for.
He gets me in a way no man ever has. His body completes me in ways I didn't
even know possible. And the way he looks at me makes me think he could be the
one.
I've always been in love with Jonathan, but now that I've been with
Christopher, I find I can't choose. Some people go their whole lives without
finding one love of their life. Now I have to decide between two.

Waterfall Kisses: A Billionaire Love Story
I love this friends to lovers romance. Leo was friends with two of the other billionaires (Sunrise Kisses and Island Kisses) in the Kisses series in college- it's where they came up with their billion dollar company idea.
Charlotte is Bastian (from Sunrise Kisses) little sister and she has had a crush on Leo since she first met him. She doesn't know it, but he's had a crush on her too. They've both never said or done anything about it because it's FORBIDDEN.

Sunrise Kisses: A Billionaire Love Story
No better way to start off the day than with Sunrise Kisses…
I could get used to the dark with you.This book is my retelling of a Beauty and the Beast style story. She's got to save her father from the horrible monster. There's a Gaston bad-guy character. There are loveable sidekicks. There's art. There's a deformed man who is cold at first but then warms to love.
This is part of the Kisses series! It's a standalone novel, but there are character cameos from other Kisses novels!
That's a good kiss.Ava Fairchild was sure that she'd never find love.
Seemingly lost in a sea of self-pity, she was delighted when her appraisal company was given a job in the Caribbean. A once-in-a-lifetime trip to appraise Sebastian Belrose's billion-dollar estate seemed to be exactly what she needed to relax and enjoy herself.
A walk to the beach at dawn gave her a first impression of the billionaire himself, paddle boarding on the gentle waves. He was reserved and mysterious, and Ava wanted to know all of his secrets. His evasiveness and the fact that he forbade her from traveling to his Study just added to his allure, while simultaneously reminding her about the secrets that destroyed her last relationship. Still, every sunrise that they shared together made her fall more desperately in love with him.
But Bastian had a reason for keeping to himself. And as Ava saw the scars that criss-crossed his body, she knew that what she had found was a soul not unlike herself. A man who had been damaged. A man who deserved to trust. A man that deserved to love, and to be loved. Would this beauty be able to tame the beast, or would they be left with just memories of sunrise kisses?

Barefoot Kisses: A Billionaire Love Story
Barefoot Kisses are the best kind of kisses!
Is true love fated? Is there someone in the world that was made just for you?
I think that there is and isn't fate. There is a pattern that the universe wants to follow and it will put the path in front of you, but ultimately, following the path is up to you.
Maybe there are multiple fated mates. Maybe there is only one. I do know that everyone deserves love.
Sandcastle Kisses, Hurricane Kisses, and Barefoot Kisses all share billionaires. Be sure to read the whole Kisses series to meet everyone!
Who meets Prince Charming in an elevator while carrying their broken shoe?
Lena Masterson was having a rough day.
Her coffee pot exploded, her favorite heel broke on the way to work, her computer died, and her coworker sabotaged her performance review that she should have aced. To top it all off, she had to stay late to fix someone else's mistake. So when she literally ran into a handsome stranger at work, she was fairly certain that it might actually be the worst day of her life. Instead, it was the start of something wonderful.
From the moment she nearly bowled the man over, she couldn't take her mind off of him. She didn't know anything about him, and could only assume that he was someone's assistant. Still, the encounter left her with new self-confidence. She made a move assertive enough to get the attention of her boss' boss, and be granted a new position as the personal paralegal of the head partner. This promotion soon led to an important trip to the Caribbean, where she saw a familiar face on the beach…
Everything seemed perfect when she was in Aiden's arms (other than her missing shoe), but he was holding something back. Worse, Lena was keeping a secret from him as well. She knew that she couldn't keep up her little white lie forever, but it turned out that Aiden's secret was much bigger. Much much much bigger. A billion times bigger, in fact. Even though he treated her like Cinderella at the ball, it was possible that the billionaire playboy just thought of her as one of his “flavors of the week”. After saying goodbye with one last barefoot kiss and returning to the real world, there was a burning question on Lena's mind: Did this Prince Charming love her as much as she loved him?
