New Release!

KISSING SANTA CLAUS is out! I say new release but this is really a mass market reissue. That just means still counts you need this version, too. No, really. You do.

This Christmas anthology gives you a little bit of everything. You get a novella in my Men Of Hawaii series and stories by the fabulous authors Jill Shalvis and Donna Kauffman. This book was a Cosmo "Red-Hot Red" and my novella was excerpted in the December 2009 issue – yay!!

One of my favorite tibdits about this book is the title of the cosmo article: Officer Naughty. I have to admit I love that. Here's a little look:

Ted brought his arm around and stuck a bouquet of purple orchids under Marissa's nose. "These are for you."

They were stunning. The sweet smell and vibrant deep color charmed her more than she thought possible. And the gesture, well, that squeezed the area around her heart until she thought it would burst from happiness.

Here she was planning a seduction and he was out there setting up a date. The man just kept right on impressing her.

"You are going to get so lucky tonight."

He didn't crack a smile. "They aren't foreplay. I wanted you to enjoy a piece of Kauai before you left."

Oh, yeah, he was definitely going to get lucky. "Is this part of your routine?"

"What do you mean?"

"You find a woman from the States-"

He tapped the tip of her nose. "I know it's only been fifty years, but Hawaii is a state."

"Right." She felt the heated blush from the inside out. "I meant from the continental U.S."

"Sure you did."

She decided to ignore that. "Then you lure her in with that face of yours-"

"What's wrong with my face?"

"Not a damn thing. That's my point."

"Go on. This is fascinating." He picked up her hand and placed a small kiss in the center of her palm.

"You're obtuse and you boss her around. Then you swoop in and charm her with your sweetness."

He peeked up at her mid-kiss. "I'm not sweet."

"But you are sexy." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Very, very sexy."

"Right back at 'ya, sweetheart."

The endearment sent her heart tumbling. "So what are the plans for the evening?"

"Do you really need to ask?"
