This is a fabulous collection of four stories by the great Russian master of the short form Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852). It includes his famous "The Fair at Sorochyntsi", "A Bewitched Place", "The Lost Letter", and "St. John's Eve" - all superb examples of Gogol's unsurpassed sense of humor and flair for satire.

She's had a flirty friendship with Nick Jameson forever, and she likes it that way - until she's dared to sleep with him and suddenly can't stop thinking about what it would be like to cross that friends-to-lovers line. Nick wants Tina. Badly. New Year's Eve is the perfect time to make a resolution to get her into his bed. He doesn't want to ruin the friendship they share, but adding "with benefits" to the label would make things perfect. Will a night of passion ruin everything or lead to a lifetime of love?
