    Enjoy this steamy Christmas romance by USA Today Bestselling romance author Emma Bray… 
    Jenny has always been a Christmas fanatic. Born on December 25th, she lives for the magic of twinkling lights, snow-dusted streets, and the joy on children’s faces during the holidays. It’s why she volunteers as Santa’s helper at the mall every year. She doesn’t need the money—she just loves spreading cheer. 
    But this year? This year is different. 
    Because when she walks into the workshop ready to don her elf costume, she comes face-to-face with Santa himself… and he’s nothing like she imagined. Forget the belly and the beard. This Santa is all muscles, sharp jawlines, and a smoldering gaze that pins her in place. Brooding and impossibly sexy, he’s more bad boy than jolly old man, and Jenny knows she’s in big trouble. 
    Because the second his dark eyes land on her? Santa decides exactly what he wants for Christmas. 
    And it’s her. All of her. Forever. 
    Jenny thought she was here to spread holiday joy—but this Santa doesn’t plan on letting her out of his sight until she’s wrapped up in his arms…and in his bed. 
    For fans of Jessa Kane, Olivia T. Turner and Lena Little, this is a HOT romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. Like all Emma Bray’s books, it features an obsessed hero and an innocent heroine. Enjoy!
