Worst. Day. Ever. After Lyssa Barnett’s
sister tricks her into reprising her role at Snowflake Valley's annual
children's party, she doesn’t think anything can be worse than squeezing into
her too-small elf costume. Then tall, dark, and way too handsome Nick Tavlock
shows up to play Santa…and an unexpected storm leaves them snowbound in the
isolated lodge.
The last thing Nick wants is to spend a cozy Christmas Eve with a trio of kids and the woman who dumped him. But as much as Lyssa frustrates him, he can't stop thinking about her. And soon, he's fighting very un-Santa-like thoughts of kissing a certain sexy Miss Elf under the mistletoe. As Nick starts to fall for Lyssa all over again, he knows it will take nothing short of a miracle to have Lyssa in his arms on Christmas Day.
Excerpt from snowbound with mr. wrong:
Here’s a clip from the beginning of the book, just after Nick has seen Lyssa for the first time:
Someone’s going to pay for this.
Nick Tavlock stared at the woman in the elf costume and swore under his breath. When his so-called friend and associate Michael DeFranco had roped him into playing Santa at his lodge for a second year, he’d agreed to do the man the favor. Michael brought a lot of business his way. But this was pushing friendship and client satisfaction too far.
He’d had Michael’s word there would be a new elf
this year.
He had barely set foot in the door before
Michael’s housekeeper, Amber, had hustled him upstairs. On the way, she’d thrown
an excellent one-two punch, first breaking the bad news that Michael wasn’t
showing for the party, then attempting to soften that blow by assuring him all
the kids were eager for his appearance.
She hadn’t lied. He could see the proof of her
words right here in front of him. But she had forgotten to close with the
kicker—that her sister would be here, too.
He swallowed his irritation. Or tried to.
“Lyss—”
“Hello, Santa!” she interrupted with a
meaningful glance at the kids around them.
“Saved by an elf,” he murmured. “Almost put my
boot in my mouth with that one, didn’t I?” He was still trying to pick his jaw
up off the floor after the enthusiasm of her greeting. Too bad she hadn’t meant
that beautiful smile for him. Too bad she had dumped him months ago, or he’d
have had more chances to see that smile of hers.
“Thanks
for the warm welcome. A big surprise, considering the chill of your last
good-bye.”
“Those Arctic blasts at the North Pole will do
that to an elf.” She smiled again, but her eyes didn’t meet his. “So…Santa, are
you ready to hear some wish lists?”
“Sure am,” he said in his best
jolly-old-Saint-Nick voice.
He followed her to the velvet-covered chair set
in a cleared space beyond the fireplace. Though the flames danced behind a
safety screen several yards away, he’d already started to sweat. And it didn’t
have a thing to do with the fire or the extra padding inside this Santa suit.
