She’s a Holiday Grinch…
Carly Gatlin doesn’t want to spend
another Christmas alone. With her beloved father gone, she’s desperate to be
part of a family—so she’s spending the holidays with her step-brothers on
Stewart Island. But even with sand, sun, and not a snowflake in sight,
everything reminds her of what she’s lost. So no tree trimming, cookie baking,
or kisses under the mistletoe for her, thanks. Especially not from Due South’s
sexy bartender, Kip.
He’s a too-hot-for-his-Santa-suit
killjoy...
Kip Sullivan’s moved hundreds of miles
away from his family who’d like to see him married off before his next
birthday—on Christmas Eve. Then ten days before the big event, his meddling
relatives arrive en masse, and dear God, they’re planning to stay. With
match-makers breathing down his neck, it’s becoming harder to ignore the
temptation to unwrap Carly like a present under the tree.
The Kiwi barbecue isn't the only thing
sizzling this summer...
Kip agrees to help make Carly’s first New
Zealand Christmas special. He’s got five holiday missions to complete—one
involving a frisky fake reindeer—before he hopes to claim a mistletoe kiss…and
maybe even Carly’s heart.
Christmas just isn’t Christmas without
this spicy yet sweet Due South novella.
Tracey Alvarez lives in the Coolest
Little Capital in the World (a.k.a Wellington, New Zealand) where she’s yet to
be buried under her to-be-read book pile by Wellington’s infamous wind—her
Kindle’s a lifesaver! Married to a wonderfully supportive IT guy, she has two
teens who would love to be surgically linked to their electronic devices.
Fuelled by copious amounts of coffee,
she’s the author of contemporary romantic fiction set predominantly in New
Zealand. Small-towns, close communities, and families are a big part of the
heart-warming stories she writes. Oh, and hot, down-to-earth heroes—Kiwi men,
in other words.
When she’s not writing, thinking about
writing, or procrastinating about writing, Tracey can be found reading sexy
books of all romance genres, nibbling on smuggled chocolate bars, or bribing
her kids to take over the housework.
She
stepped under the shade of the first huge pohutukawa, blinking as her eyes
struggled to adapt.
“Concentrate,
zoomie,” she whispered. Her fingers fumbled up the grooved handle to find the
trigger. “You got this.”
“Not
this time, sweetheart.”
A
strong arm wrapped around her body, pinning her arms helplessly to her side.
Plastic pressed to the throbbing vein in her throat. Water seeped out of the
gun and dripped down her neck. The shivers returned with a vengeance, but this
time, they had nothing to do with chilly water and everything to do with the
man pressed full length against her.
Warm
breath puffed against her ear, and the cradle of his hips butted into her
bottom. “Drop your weapon.”
Kip
may as well have said, “Drop your panties.” His deep, rough voice affected her
the same way.
Never surrender your weapon, zoomie.
Her
throat seized, her mouth parched to sticky dryness. “No.”
Plastic
squeaked, and more water oozed out of the gun, trickling down her overheated
skin. The strong fingers wrapped around her upper arm flexed, not tight enough
to hurt, just enough for her to know she couldn’t break free without a
struggle—and another soaking.
“Resistance
is futile.” Something soft and warm brushed over her earlobe, continued with
butterfly lightness down the column of her throat to the very spot where her
vein leaped under the skin. “I have you right where I want you. So drop it. I
win.”
Her
knees filled with wibbly-wobbly Jell-O, and her fingers on the gun handle had
all the strength of mini sponge cakes. She was a sweet, hot mess from him
grabbing her and breathing on her neck? Double-dammit. She’d underestimated the
enemy’s skills at tactical engagement.
