About Mistletoe Me, Baby:
She needs a fake fiancé…
With the holidays fast approaching,
Miranda Flores makes up a fake fiancé so her well-meaning family will get off
her back. She just never expected them to suddenly show up on her doorstep a
couple weeks before Christmas, wanting to spend the holidays with her. So she
turns to Nolan O’Connor, her sexy best friend, and asks him for the favor of a
lifetime: she needs him to act the part of her fiancé until her parents leave
town.
He wants forever…
Pretending to be engaged to the
woman he’s already fallen for? No problem. Nolan agrees to Miranda’s fake
engagement scheme because as far as he’s concerned, she’s the one. But he plays
his role too well, because soon the entire town thinks they’re engaged and
things get more complicated—especially since he can’t pretend with her anymore.
Then tragedy strikes and Miranda tries to shut him out, but Nolan won’t let
her. He’ll do whatever it takes to convince her that he wants to make her his
forever.

Enjoy this Excerpt:
Nolan knocked on the already open door
to Miranda Flores’ office at the local community center in Holly. Miranda
usually kept the door open, wanting everyone to know they could talk to her at
any time.
Phone against her ear, she glanced up
and gave him a blinding smile that was a punch to his solar plexus. Which was
pretty standard for every time he saw her.
She held up a finger as she continued
talking. As she spoke, she was looking at something on her laptop.
Leaning against the doorframe, he
crossed his arms over his chest and took the rare opportunity to drink in the
sight of her. Her light brown hair was down around her face in soft waves. As
she talked she was smiling, which was standard for her. Whenever they talked on
the phone, he could hear the smile in her voice. Rolling his shoulders once,
his gaze stayed on her mouth, even as he told himself to look away. He’d
fantasized about nibbling on her bottom lip too many times. Hell, he wanted to
kiss her everywhere, to claim her, to let the whole damn town know she was his.
But that wasn’t happening anytime soon.
She’d made it very clear nearly ten
months ago when they’d first met that she wasn’t looking for any sort of
relationship. At the time, she’d just taken her nephew, Mateo, in when her
sister had dropped him off and bolted. Her sister had made Miranda his legal
guardian. Only recently had Gloria gone into rehab for drug addiction.
As Miranda laughed, there was a little
sparkle in her brown eyes. But they weren’t just brown. He’d studied them
enough to know there were little flecks of amber in them. Every chance he got,
he studied the woman. Watching her, being around her, was his own personal
addiction. One he didn’t plan to give up.
“To what do I owe this pleasure?”
Miranda’s sweet voice pulled him out of his head.
He blinked once and realized he’d been
staring, and that she was off the phone. Clearing his throat, he pushed up from
the doorframe as she stood and stepped around the desk. He started to answer
when she frowned and closed the distance between them in record time.
Frowning harder, she cupped his cheek.
“What happened?”
Nolan wanted to lean into her touch, to
savor the feel of her smooth, soft hand on his skin. Today she had on knee-high
boots and a red sweater dress that hugged all her curves. “Ah… what?” he wanted
to put his own hand over hers to hold her there, but managed restraint.
Somehow.
“You have a bruise. Did you get hurt at
work?” Concern rolled off her in waves, her distress clear.
Bruise? “Oh, this is nothing. Maguire
did this during our last hockey practice.”
“Aren’t you guys on the same team?”
He snorted. “Yeah. My brother is an
equal opportunity bulldozer when he plays.”
She stroked her thumb over his bruise
and he felt the sensation all the way to his dick. God, this woman had him all
twisted up in knots. He’d get hurt more often if it meant she would touch him
like this. Feeling her hand on him was heaven.
Abruptly she dropped her hand and her
cheeks flushed pink, as if she realized how intimate that hold could be
construed. “I might exchange words with Maguire later.”
He laughed, but it felt strained. Having
her touch him like that, whether she meant it intimately or not, affected him.
Physically and otherwise. He’d been respecting her boundaries because hell, he wanted to be her friend. She was a
sweet, sexy woman and in the last year they’d become friends. Best friends,
even. Other than his brothers and family, she was the person he wanted to call
with any sort of news first. “I’m sure he’ll be very scared of you,” he
murmured.
Narrowing her gaze, she said, “I can be
very scary.”
“Yeah, scary in the way Mrs. Claus is.”
“Are you comparing me to Santa Claus’
wife?”
“Nope.” Not even a little bit. “Maybe
one of his elves, though.” A really sexy elf. He could easily visualize the
petite and curvy woman dressed up in a dirty ‘sexy elf’ Halloween costume. Or
Christmas. Whatever. The thought of her dressed up in anything remotely
dirty—or just flat out naked—was something he shouldn’t be contemplating now.
She mock-jabbed him in the side. “Very
funny.”
