Christmas in paradise
Hallie Roberts has had a string of bad luck, beginning with her fiancé dumping her! Now she is disillusioned and ready to leave her beloved big-city teaching job behind and return to her idyllic island hometown. Then fate intervenes, and a slip and fall on the ice brings gorgeous, brave paramedic Asa Andersen to her rescue and into her chaotic life.
Saving victims can take its toll, but Hallie fills Asa with hope and renewed purpose. His mission to show the homesick English teacher a romantic New York Christmas culminates in a passionate, brief affair. But Asa isn’t about to lose the best thing to ever happen to him. When they meet again on Hideaway Island, the magic and sensuality of the sultry isle affects them both. Can he convince Hallie to trust in their future and a love that’s worth every risk?
Her body went slack beneath him, and he knew there was no stopping what he was going to do next.
He kissed her. Beneath the Christmas tree. She tasted like chocolate and spiced rum. That combined with the flavor of her lips made her delicious. It made him greedy, and he couldn’t stop himself from going back for more and deepening the kiss. She responded by opening her mouth beneath his and welcoming in his tongue.
He didn’t need alcohol tonight. He could happily get drunk off her.
She broke the kiss and set her lips on his jawline, sliding them across and leaving behind little sweet kisses.
He didn’t think he had ever been kissed so sweetly in his life. He didn’t think he had ever been this turned on in his life, especially by a woman who was wearing so many clothes.
“You’re not supposed to be kissing me, Asa Andersen.” Her voice was breathy. Sexy. She had no idea how crazy she was driving him. The sweet little schoolteacher made him want to burst out of his skin.
“You’re not supposed to be kissing me back.”
I have always had a deep love for the holiday season...and sexy men in uniform. Kissed by Christmas combines those loves into one romance-filled story! You’ll travel the country with Asa and Hallie as they meet in snowy New York City and fall in love on the lush Hideaway Island.
I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoyed writing about them.
xoxo,
Jamie
