When an off-limits temptation in a pink tutu shows up at my snowy compound calling me Papa looking for protection, she has no idea what kind of gift I’ve been saving just for her. Running my billion-dollar underworld business in secret from the icy north has kept me safe and should have done the same for my family. But, when tragedy destroys my step-granddaughter Carina’s world, I become her steward. The one she trusts above all. With her living under my roof, keeping my obsessive desires hidden behind the doors of my workshop becomes impossible. My resolve is breaking. She’s over eighteen but as temping as sugar plums and as innocent as turtle doves. When I don my Santa suit for our annual holiday party, she whispers secret wishes in my ear and what I give her has her bouncing on my lap begging for more. Only, there’s danger lurking behind the twinkling lights and I’ll risk everything to make her mine. And mine she will be. Forever. Author's Note: He may have white hair and a beard, but this sexy silver fox Santa will be doing more than coming down his step-granddaughter’s chimney this Christmas! He’s spent the last few years raising Carina when the Maestro crime family took her parents from her. The holidays heat up when they get tangled in the tinsel and she figures out just how Santa plans to deliver a very special gift to his favorite good girl.
