"Humorous passionate contemporary holiday romance"
Noelle Bradenton detests Christmas because her memories
are all bad. Her opinion is proven when apparently Santa
Claus robs the donations given to the Give a Kid a
Christmas that her center is running. Chicago Police
Detective Mark Santori investigates the theft; he also
feels Yuletide is a downer as he finds the holiday season
a big hypocrisy with the capitalists owning the season.
The robbery fits into his mood; this is an all time low in
disgusting human behavior with some Scrooge stealing from
needy little kids. As Mark investigates the theft, he and Noelle are
attracted to one another. Noelle figures sex with the cop
will be the perfect present for her while he dreams of
unwrapping her clothing as the ideal Christmas Eve
activity. Neither expected to want the other permanently
under a mistletoe, but who will open the box filled with
love first. This humorous passionate contemporary holiday romance is
fun to read because of the antics of the "bah humbug" lead
duet. Each rejects Christmas until they meet one another
and begin to see little miracles all around them. Fans
will want to open this terrific blazing inspirational tale
long before Christmas arrives. Harriet Klausner

SummaryTwas the night before Christmas and Noelle wanted so
much, just one burning night of Mark's kisses and touch.
Wearing nothing but a red bow. That's how social worker
Noelle Bradenton wanted to find Chicago cop Mark Santori
under her Christmas tree. Delicious Mark could jingle her
bells any time, except he was investigating the
disappearance of toys from the women's shelter where she
worked. And all signs point to the thief being St. Nick himself!
Following a lead, Noelle and Mark set out for a town called
Christmas to track down the Santa impersonator. With both of
them staying at the Candy Cane Inn, Noelle had visions of
naked Mark dancing in her head. And she doubted she'd be
able to wait until Christmas morning to find out just what a
delectable package Mark was....
