Her Christmas Pleasure

Damien Morton is madly in love. Unfortunately, it's with his best friend's widow, Lady Danver. Damien is not worthy of Celia. Or so he thinks. Desperate to escape his feelings for her, he plans to leave the country at the first of the year. Celia treats him as a family friend and nothing more—until they share a heated kiss beneath the mistletoe...
Celia is shocked by the passions that surge within her at her dear friend's kiss. One touch and one taste aren't enough to satisfy her cravings, and she is startled into action. Damien has stirred something inside her that she never expected to experience again, and she must have more. Full of shameless desire and emotions newly discovered, she decides to pursue Damien and won't be deterred. Will she be able to convince him to stay—both in her heart and life—forever?

I'm finding novellas to be the perfect reading material this holiday season. Nothing is better during the hustle and bustle of the holidays than to cuddle up with a short Christmas read, a mug of cocoa, and a kitty, and escaping. This is the 2nd in Karen Erickson's Merry Widows series. A not so innocent kiss under the mistletoe ignites a fire neither Damien or Celia can (or want to) put out. This one will warm up the coldest winter night!
