Scorching Santa

Small town hero. Single dad. Sexy as hell stripper.

Not that I'm looking. After all, he used to be my best friend.

Hunter had me strictly in the friend zone. For years. Until he knocked up my cousin and I told him to go.

True to his word, he's left me alone. For six long years. Damn him.

I still miss his easy charm and gorgeous grin, especially now that he's captain of the Kissing Springs Fire Department.

When I agree to watch his son for a week during the holidays, somehow I'm convinced to let him stay at my place too.

I guess soon enough I'll know if Christmas present will be enough to make up for Christmas past.

Hunter

Six years ago, I made a mistake.

A reckless one-night stand that changed everything between my best friend and I.

I slept with her cousin.

That stupid move cost me our friendship and I ended up with a son. Hannah told me to go, but that's not why I stayed away. No, I had my reasons.

But the holiday season is here again, and it's been long enough. I miss her like hell, and it's time to confess the truth. Plus, thanks to a Christmas miracle, I have a good reason to reconnect. One she can't refuse.

And this time, I'll do anything to win her over. After all, I've always wanted so much more.
