The
Santa Bargain is my new contemporary romance novel. It’s a holiday
romance about a relationship-phobic single mom and the equally
commitment-shy guy who agrees to be Santa in their small town’s
holiday parade. In order to get Joe to agree, though, Maria has to
strike a bargain that promises to heat up the holidays.
The
Santa Bargain is on sale for $0.99 on Amazon through 12/31/17 or read
it for free on Kindle Unlimited (click this link for either version:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077996MP2).
Thanks
for checking it out. Have a merry and bright holiday season!
Title:
The Santa Bargain
Blurb:
Santa’s
gifts can be both nice…and naughty.
Coffeehouse
entrepreneur, Maria Thompson, has sworn off men ever since her young
son’s father walked out of their lives. But, when she literally
runs into sexy carpenter, Joe Sinclair, she wonders if it’s time to
rethink her plan.
Joe
Sinclair doesn’t need or want romance or a family. He was raised in
the foster care system and learned long ago not to get attached to
anyone. Now, if he could just remember that, he could put the sensual
owner of Copper River, Colorado’s new coffee shop out of his mind.
After
Maria and Joe volunteer to work together on the town’s first
Christmas festival, their attraction lights up brighter than a new a
string of holiday lights. When Santa comes to town, will they finally
find everything they’ve ever wished for under the tree?
Excerpt:
Wanting
to lighten the mood, he cleared his throat. “I bet Zach is looking
forward to Santa’s visit. The holiday is coming up fast.”
He
watched a soft smile spread across Maria’s face. “Yes, he is.
He’s at that perfect age for Santa – too old to be afraid, but
still young enough to believe in the magic of the season.”
She
must be working some magic of her own on him because Joe felt the
warmth of her smile all the way to his toes. He grinned, remembering
his own excitement as he awaited Santa’s visit when he was Zach’s
age. “Has he told St. Nick what he wants for Christmas yet?”
“I’ve
been waiting until the festival to take him to see Santa because the
big guy is supposed to show up there. That is, if I can ever find
someone to actually be
Santa.” Maria clamped her mouth shut.
He
saw a glint come into her eyes as she tilted her head to one side,
then squinted at him like she was appraising a prize show horse.
“Hmm.”
Joe
really didn’t like the way she’d started looking at him. He could
practically see the image in her mind – and, in it, he was all
decked out in a red suit. He put his mug down on the counter so fast
it made a clinking noise as he held up his hands. “Oh no, don’t
get any ideas, Maria. I’m the last guy who should be Santa.”
“Why,
Joe, I think you’d make a perfect St. Nick.”
He’d
swear her voice had dropped by at least an octave. The new throaty
tone made his groin twitch.
She
picked up her spoon and slowly slid it between her lips. He watched
her tongue sweep out to lick a droplet of coffee from it, and he
fought to keep from groaning. No matter how hard he tried, he
couldn’t pull his gaze from her mouth.
“You
know, I’ve been thinking…if you were Santa, I could be your elf,”
she continued in her sultry voice. “Who knows? You might be very
happy with what you find under your Christmas tree this year.”
He
suppressed a smile as he thought about that. How she could make being
a festival Santa sound enticing was beyond him, but she was managing.
Joe was very nearly tempted to tell her he would do it, but he held
back and waited to see if she’d sweeten the deal.
