Naughty Or Nice

Rora Stanley hates Christmas, so going back to Wintermore, Wyoming, in December is the last thing she wants. Her best friend runs a family toy store and needs a photographer for its Santa, and Rora can't say no. Wintermore is a town that takes the holiday very seriously.

The man in the red suit is Henry Whitten, her best friend's uncle. He loves Christmas, and a few weeks playing Santa suits him well while he decides what to do next with his career. He doesn't expect the grumpy photographer to fill his thoughts from the moment he sees her.

Rora is just as caught off guard by how much she is drawn to him in costume. What starts as a single indulgence, a "just this once", turns into something more. Both know the season has an end date, and they try to make every day before it count.

This is a spicy, age gap Christmas romance novella, with a happily ever after promised. It is a short, festive read with a fling at its centre and a clock running down. Full content warnings are available on the author's website.
