THE TWELVE GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS

Was He Naughty or Nice?

On the first day of Christmas, Carly Michaels's true love gave to her…a headache! Pete Cade might be the hunk every woman dreams of finding under her tree. But he was also a real Scrooge. At the top of Carly's Christmas list was the C word—commitment. And Pete wasn't ready to give that kind of gift.

Carly could have easily settled for his kisses, as heady as cider. His touch, as gentle as snowflakes. His lovemaking, as exciting as Christmas morning. But she had more than her own needs to think of.

She wanted Pete to give her the greatest Yuletide gift of all—a father for her daughter.
