Catarina Merrill has had quite a year—with the shotgun marriage and the baby on the way—but she certainly never expected to desire her husband as much as she does. Dreaming up naughty, sensual things she'd like to try with him is easy, but actually telling him about her fantasies is hard. So Catarina comes up with a plan to act out her deepest desires—only not as herself... Jace Merrill knows his wife is itching for something. Trouble is, he can't figure out what that is. But when just before Christmas he finds a stranger in his bedroom—one wearing his wife's face—he's eager to play a game of seduction with her, just so long as they play so that they both win... But Jace and Catarina will discover that desire—and love—can't flourish behind disguises. And that Christmas is a time for giving, not games—no matter how sinful...
