Her first real Christmas
Her first real cowboy...
Journalist Jolie Duval has escaped her killjoy family in order to enjoy a real down-home Christmas in Montana. Hello to mountains, snow, carols, delicious cookies and...whoa, one seriously hot hunk of a cowboy. Since Jo’s experiencing the whole Christmas fantasy anyway, why can’t she have a red-hot holiday fling? Thank you, Santa.
Thaddeus Knight is definitely the best gift Jo has ever unwrapped. Their sexual chemistry is more intense than anything she’s ever experienced. This cowboy knows when to be a gentleman—and when not to be a gentleman. But then Jo stumbles upon Thad’s troubled past and his deep, dark secret. Is this man the love of her life...or the subject of the biggest story of her career?
“You must be a very good writer, because you’ve got an imagination on you...”
Jo laughed, partly because she was enjoying herself and partly because Thad had just voiced her thoughts.
Feeling good, Jo said, “Can I ask you something?”
“Anything.”
“Last night...” She hesitated, but only for a millisecond. “Did you see me...inside the tub?”
He leaned close, his mouth right beside her ear. “You mean, did I see you naked?”
“Yes,” she whispered, closing her eyes.
“Well, now, a gentleman would lie and say no.” He took a deep breath, like he was breathing in her scent. “The question is...” His breath sifted the hair at the side of her head, making her shiver.
“Would you like me to be a gentleman...or not?”
I loved writing this book because it includes some of my favorite things (anyone else hear Julie Andrews singing “My Favorite Things”?) First of all, it’s a Christmas book and I LOVE Christmas. However, I’ve never written a Christmas story before, and I wondered how I could capture its essence on the page.
For a start, I decided my office needed to smell like Christmas, so I loaded my diffuser with essential oils like cinnamon apple and sweet pumpkin pie, which helped but also left me feeling hungry all the time.
I played Christmas carols while I wrote, and plastered snowy images on my windows so that when I looked up from my computer, it seemed like a winter’s day. Setting the book at the Silver Tree Guest Ranch in Western Montana, where there are snow-covered peaks and homey log houses, helped set the mood.
While this book includes traditional Christmas trimmings like mistletoe, homemade decorations, dogsledding, ice skating and stockings by the fire, I also wanted this story to be full of surprises. With this in mind, I put the heroine in an uncomfortable situation right off the bat. Think outdoor hot tub, a forgotten bathing suit and an overly helpful ranch hand with a penchant for disturbing the peace.
A Christmas Seduction is a story where family and strangers are thrown together, where there’s secrets and intrigue all mixed up with eggnog, Christmas carols and, of course, hot, passionate cabin sex (yes, please!).
So grab your favorite Christmas beverage, curl up in front of the fire and enjoy!
