When Simi finds a pretty old candlestick among the discarded
props in the company storeroom, she never imagines it will grant her dearest
wish. There’s something mysterious about the carved candlestick, but Simi is
drawn to it. She’s saved a red candle from a box she bought years ago in an
antique shop, and intends to use the candlestick to hold the last candle and make
her solitary Christmas lunch more festive. It’s Christmas Eve, there’s sleet in
the wind, Simi slips, but Jason catches her. Who is Jason? Where has he
suddenly appeared from in the night?
Simi looks into the eyes of this gorgeous man and sparks fly
…
Read the tease:
Not
a sound came from the other apartments. Simi’s breathing echoed in her ears as
well as her heartbeat that sped up every time Jason was close as they mounted
the last flight of stairs to her apartment.
Simi’s
hand shook as she unlocked the door.
Jason
stood close to her.
The
space between them pulsed, making Simi feel as if he actually pressed against
her. The atmosphere suddenly laden with sexual tension, Simi stared down at the
parquet floor as she led Jason down her apartment hall to the living room. She
stopped and turned to him. He loomed in front of her like a magnet of pure
sexual temptation. She dropped her bag by the coffee table and unbuttoned her
overcoat. She dared to look into his eyes as she slid the coat off.
“Let
me take your coat. The heating is on. We’ll get warm quickly now.” Her voice
shook a little.
Jason
took his overcoat off and handed it to her with a smile in his eyes.
“Thank
you.”
“Sit
down. I’ll take these and put some coffee on, or would you like a glass of
wine? I think I have some bourbon, too.”
His
voice low, he slowly sat on the end of the sofa as he answered, “Coffee is very
welcome.”
She
practically ran to the coat stand that was halfway down the hall near her
kitchen door. She pulled her business suit jacket off and hung that there, too.
With a little skip into the kitchen, Simi put coffee on. She left it to
percolate and walked back to the living room. With every step, the need to be
held against Jason’s muscled chest again grew, until when she saw him sitting
quietly on the sofa, her heart gave a huge flip.
