Santa Baby, Several Stars Away
When he finally approached the archway into the parlor, his steps were so quiet Kaily barely heard them. She squeezed her eyelids hard. Unless there was some sort of Christmas miracle, she'd never be able to open them again.
Holy moly, if his gaze censured her, she didn't want to see it, especially since he looked like Santa Clause.
To everyone's surprise, even Nessie had politely directed Dylan to the books and movies that would teach him how to play jolly St. Nick for the children.
Oh God, why didn't he speak? Say anything...like 'get dressed and get out'? Or...
''Is this a holiday tradition I'm not aware of?"
The deep timbre of his voice blanketed her like velvet, yet did little to warm Kaily. Frightened, so much more than she bargained for, Kaily could only hear her drumming heartbeat.
As if he willed it...or, as if she'd just received her Christmas miracle, Kaily's eyes opened of their own volition.

~~~ Kaily and Dylan invite you to read their love story ~~~
Kaily has been consumed by curiosity ever since Dylan suddenly appears in her small town. Surreptitiously, she watches the mystery man restore a rundown Victorian mansion, all while his charm and sincerity gain him the good will of most everyone. This is especially true when he volunteers to become the annual Santa Claus for the children at the town's park.
The problem for Kaily: No one really knows anything about Dylan's past or where he came from. With her attraction to him growing day by day, she becomes a driven woman. On a desperate whim, she gives herself to him as a Christmas present. Will Dylan be able to resist her waiting naked, but gift-wrapped beneath his tree?
