Christmas in July -- Susanna Carr

I usually write about a good girl tapping into her inner vixen, but my novella in the Wicked Wonderland anthology has a bad girl trying desperately to be good. "Hot for the Holidays" is a lighthearted and sexy Christmas romance that has a bad girl heroine meeting her match with a bad boy hero.

You see, Rachel Bartlett had a big relapse and indulged in the most amazing sex with her rival Justin O'Rourke during the office Christmas party. Now everything Christmas reminds her of that wild night. She is actually getting hot for anything that has to do with the holidays (or so she thinks!), and Justin is using it to his advantage. (She's not paranoid about this, he really is!) This is a disaster. She has worked hard for her good girl image and she's not going to let bad boy Justin ruin it for her.

But wouldn't you know it? She relapses again with Justin. Rachel decides it's time for a full Christmas detox. She will travel somewhere hot for the holidays, a place that doesn't celebrate a "traditional" Christmas. Then she'll get Justin and this inconvenient holiday tingling out of her system for good.

Her brilliant idea takes a hit when Justin winds up driving her to the airport. Worse, they get stuck in a major snowstorm and are stranded in a town considered the picture-perfect Christmas destination! Rachel knows she's about to earn a permanent spot on Santa's naughty list!

An sneak peek from "Hot for the Holidays" in on my website. It will be up for a limited time, so read it today. Enjoy!
