ABOUT HOLIDAY WISHES (a Heartbreaker Bay novella)
It’s Christmastime again in Heartbreaker Bay!
When Sean O’Riley shows up at the Hartford Bed & Breakfast for his older brother’s bachelor weekend, he’s just hoping to make it through the weekend. What he’s not expecting is to come face to face with the woman he lost his virginity to a decade ago—a woman he’s never really forgotten.
The last time Lotti Hartford saw Sean, she told him she loved him while he said nothing. Now, ten years later, she’s just looking for a good time. For once, she wants to be the wild and free one, and Sean – the good time guy – is the perfect candidate.
But as the weekend continues, Sean realizes that after a lifetime of being the hook-up king, he’s ready to find happily-ever-after, and he wants it with Lotti. But will she open her heart to him again? As Christmas sweeps through the little B&B, he can only hope love and magic are in the air.

Excerpt:
At the empathetic
tone in Sean’s voice, Lotti’s heart and stomach and head all
clenched in unison. “What do you mean you can’t give me what I
want?” she asked. “All you have to do is walk away.”
“Tried that
already,” he said. “And it was the biggest mistake of my life.”
He brought her hand up to his mouth and met her gaze over their
entwined hands.
He was looking at
her like . . . well, she wasn’t sure what was going
on in his head, but her thoughts
were racing along with her pulse.
“You’re
incredible, Lotti. I hope you know that.” Very slowly, clearly
giving her time to object, he pulled her into him.
Her breath caught at
the connection and his eyes heated in response as he slid a hand up
her spine and then back down again, pressing her in tight to him from
chest to thighs and everywhere in between. His nose was cold at the
crook of her neck, but his breath was warm against her skin. She felt
his lips press against the sensitive spot just behind her ear and she
shivered. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice low. “Are
you cold?”
“No,” she
whispered. Try the opposite of cold . . .
“Nervous?”
“No.” Not even
close. The way his mouth moved across her skin was making her warm
all over. Not that she could articulate that with his body pressed to
hers and his fingers dancing over her skin. She was literally
quivering as the memories of what it felt like to be touched by him
washed over her, as if no time at all had gone by.
Yes, she’d let him
think that their time together had sucked for her. But it hadn’t.
Not even close. That long-ago night he’d evoked feelings and a
hunger in her that she’d never forgotten. “I’ve just had a long
day,” she said.
“I know. I’m
going to make it better.” He pressed a kiss at the juncture of her
jaw and ear before he made his way to her lips for a slow, hot kiss,
his mouth both familiar and yet somehow brand-new. She was so far
gone that when he pulled back she protested with a moan, but he held
her tight, staring down at her with heated eyes. “Just checking,”
he murmured.
“Checking what?”
“That you want
this as badly as I do.”
