I felt heat shooting to my cheeks this time. Luke still stood as if frozen in place, and then he slowly brought his finger to his mouth and pressed it against his own lips, as if he were tasting my mouth with his own. The sensuality of it sparked the heat racing down to an area approximately in the center of my new silk panties.
Gotta go, gotta go, my rational side said.
Wanna come, wanna come, the rest of me said.
I stuffed Luke's card in my bag and took off, almost running, down the sidewalk. I definitely didn't have time to get flustered over a case of the lusts for some guy who was only in town for two weeks.
What could it hurt, though, really? my rational side said.
"Traitor," I muttered, as I shoved my way through the crowds and considered my worthless lunch hour. I hadn't bought any presents, and now I was going to be late for the afternoon staff meeting.
Deck the freakin' halls.
Sometimes you just have to say "Deck the freaking halls." At least, that's how Leah feels about Christmas. She has a holiday tradition: she gets dumped at Christmas. Always and only at Christmas. With only 12 days till the fateful day, she's glad she's alone. The only thing she has to worry about is a horrible boss. And a dead-end career. And clients who drive her insane.
But sexy photojournalist Luke has other ideas; he wants to make Leah's Christmas dreams come true. And he only has twelve days to begin a romance that will endure until the last bell has been jingled.
Love, laughter, and a little touch of revenge--that's all a girl really needs in her Christmas stocking.
Alesia Holliday is the funnier (and much cuter!) alter-ego of New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Day. Alesia writes light & funny; Alyssa writes dark & twisty. Both love crazy plots, intense suspense, and characters you'd love to invite over for dinner. Visit both of them at www.alyssaday.com.
[Author's note: Santa Baby was previously released in 2004 in print as A Publicist and a Pear Tree, in the anthology Shop Til Yule Drop. It's a 33,000 word novella. It's in the romantic comedy style sometimes known as chick lit; told in Leah's point of view (called first person POV) and as much or more about her crazy life as it is about her romance. Thanks for trying my comedies - I truly love to make readers laugh!]
