I hate Cole Granger. When he left me, I didn't let him see me cry. But I still hate his guts. Eight years hasn't changed that. I hate his cocky smirk, with that deep dimple on his cheek he thinks is so charming. And I hate the way my body still melts at the thought of him. Now he's back in Reckless Falls. Flirting with me, charming me, driving me wild. I still hate him. I still want him. Nothing has changed... Has he? Author's Note: This is a quick, sweet and steamy novella set in Reckless Falls. No cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA! Please Note: This story previously appeared in the Bad Boys Under the Mistletoe collection, where it was titled By The Fire. If you own that collection, you have already read most of this story, but I have rewritten it for re-release with a brand new prologue and epilogue.
Author
Vivian Lux is a penname for author Theresa Leigh Theresa Leigh is a romance author whose love of reading is so intense, she sometimes injures herself by walking around with her nose in a book. She loves writing stories that have you feeling every emotion... sometimes all on the same page. After five years of writing romance under a penname, Theresa finally decided to own up to how she was spending her all time. Her mother now knows all about the kinds of books she writes. She reacted more positively to it than Theresa expected. Theresa lives and writes in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State (not the city) (that distinction is important to her), where she lives with her husband, twin sons and twin orange cats, Pumpkin and Jackie O’Lantern. When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys eating too much Thai food, walking around barefoot, and cooing baby talk at her cats.
