Rescuing Mrs. Claus

Santa needs a Mrs. Claus.

Kidnapping Rebecca isn't Sean's first plan.

Paying her five thousand dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend for two weeks isn't his second.

But jokes can be dangerous and his brothers' teasing that he needs a Mrs. Claus could mean he loses his job as Santa. Desperate to save his position, Sean finds a woman who wants to escape her life. He plans to offer he the adventure of a lifetime, a few weeks in the North Pole playing his girlfriend. But things go terribly wrong.

By the time Rebecca agrees to stay, Sean knows he may have bitten off more than he can chew with the feisty redhead. But there's something about her that draws him in, and when he sees the weight of the world finally slip from her shoulders, he vows to do everything he can to keep her safe and happy. As the lines between reality and acting blur, Rebecca's nightly phone calls home hurt both her and Sean more and more. After each call, he can see something in her eyes: fear or shame. He can't tell.

He wants her to give up her old life and stay with him, but she insists on going back. Will he be able to save her from whatever it is that haunts her nightmares, or will she go home to a nightmare of her own?

This quick read features a beautiful woman looking to escape her abusive partner and a protective alpha that will do anything to protect her. It's sweet and spicy and sure to heat up a cold winter's night.
