Maggie I’m a life-long, card-carrying member of the nice list, mostly because I never wanted anything badly enough to stray. But oh, holy night, do I want Gabe Costa. There's just one problem. When he speaks to me, my lips refuse to work. If he so much as glances in my direction, I freeze in place as firmly as a kid licking a metal pole in the dead of winter. I can’t even return a wave without my hand getting out of control. But this year is going to be different. I'm claiming my spot on the Naughty List, and I'm starting with the candlemaker who seems to know exactly what it takes to make me melt. Gabe Last Christmas, I struck out. I made the single worst first impression mankind has ever seen, but I can’t let that stop me. Not when I want something as badly as I want Maggie Richards. I’m back in Sugar Creek, with a plan and a brand-new skillset. Learning sign language for her was just the beginning of my plan, but it seems Maggie came prepared with one of her own. One where I get a week to help her join the naughty list… and she gets to jingle my bells. Maggie doesn’t know it yet, but when the time comes to pack up the mistletoe, I'm not going anywhere. She’s the only woman for me, and I'd sooner suck an elf ear than walk away now. The only thing I can do, is convince her that this one Christmas isn't enough... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Polish your jingle bells, strategically hang the mistletoe, and get ready to claim your spot on The Naughty List. This holiday season, fourteen of your favorite authors are spicing up the cocoa and taking advantage of those long winter nights, proving that sometimes it’s more fun to claim your coal than it is to stay on Santa’s good side. After all, well-behaved women might make the nice list, but naughty ones have all the fun…
