A Sweet and Spicy Christmas Novella Mark Bennett loathes Christmas, and for good reason. His parents divorced two days before the holiday, his beloved ferret keeled over the day after, and if that wasn’t enough, he found his fiancée in bed with one of his colleagues bright and early on Christmas morning. Bah-f*cking-humbug! So, when Ebony Parker, the sassy, piano-playing, carol-singing woman moves in across the street, his frustration hits an all-time high and he has no problem letting her know it. Their initial interaction is less than cordial, but when an errant snowstorm forces them into the same space, it isn’t long before tension gives way to desire. Ebony’s sultry eyes arrest Mark, the sound of her laugh soothes his soul, and the passion in her kisses unravel him completely. Somehow, she steers across his rough edges to uncover a man he didn’t know existed. But when the Ghosts of Christmas Past kick his door in, will the temptation to revert to his Scrooge-like ways push Ebony away, or will Mark allow the hope of Christmas to work its magic?
