Kidnapped for Christmas by my older brother's best friend is not how I imagined I'd be spending the holidays... Hiro Abbott might look spectacular in a three-piece suit, but he's the last person I want to see when I'm dressed as a Christmas elf, slightly tipsy and dancing on a table at the holiday party. Hiro has been a thorn in my side for as long as I've known him, disapproving of any fun I might have and generally just being an overbearing, grumpy Grinch who I'm sure would prefer I didn't exist. Especially when he tells me my brother has asked him to take care of me over holidays. Spending Christmas at Hiro's isolated cabin up in the mountains, alone with the security mogul who acts like he has a giant stick up his Santa's sack is definitely not my idea of a good time. But when an unforgettable kiss has me realizing just how straight-laced Mr. Abbott isn't, I'm determined to crack his frosty facade and unleash the heat I never knew was simmering under the surface. Naughty Noelle is a steamy short in the Naughty Christmas in July series and can be read as a standalone where the happily-ever-after is guaranteed.
