Ciara Knight’s anthology entries collect her contributions to multi-author romance collections. Love & Grace (2016) brings together romance stories centered on themes of faith and love, while Once Upon a Christmas Kiss (2023) is a holiday-themed anthology with a fairy tale twist that fits alongside Knight’s other Christmas fiction.
The two anthologies are spaced seven years apart, showing Knight’s continued involvement in collaborative projects throughout her career. Readers who enjoy her solo work in series like Sweetwater County and Sugar Maple will find the same clean romance sensibility in these shorter anthology pieces. Both collections are easy entry points for new readers, since the stories are self-contained and do not require familiarity with any of Knight’s ongoing series.### content/authors/ellie-hall/index.md DESCRIPTION: Ellie Hall is an indie romance author with over 120 books published since 2018, known for her clean, feel-good stories spanning billionaire romance, cowboy romance, hockey romance, and small-town settings.

She quickly became one of the most prolific indie romance authors working today, with more than 120 books released across 22 series in under a decade. Her early work focused on billionaire romance and small-town settings, as seen in series like Rich & Rugged (set in Hawk Ridge Hollow) and Blue Bay Beach (a summer romance collection that began in 2019).
By 2020, Hall had branched into cowboy romance with Ritchie Ranch, starting with Lassoing the Cowboy’s Heart. She followed that with the Dare to Love and Falling into Happily Ever After Rom Com series in 2021, then shifted into home renovation-themed romance with Home Sweet Home in 2022. That same year she released all six Costa Brothers Cozy Christmas Comfort books, a holiday series built around the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” Her 2023 output was especially large, including The Love List, the Love, Laughs & Mystery in Coco Key series, and several Only Us Billionaire sequels.
More recently, Hall has leaned into hockey romance. Love on Thin Ice (2024), Nebraska Knights (2024-2025), Love in Hockey Town (2024-2025), and Love In Maple Falls (2025) all center on hockey players and the people they fall for. She has also written coffee shop-themed romances in The Coffee Loft: Fall Collection (2024) and the holiday baking series Christmas Kisses & Cookie Crumbs (2024).
