Meet Jude Ashford . . .
After Scrooge has his revelatory night, ever wonder if he continues to turn over a new holly leaf, or if he goes back to his miserly ways?
I’ve been thinking about this question ever since a gorgeous red-headed angel saved me from a heart attack with a kiss and a whispered plea.
Of course, I am not certain whether any of it really happened. The redhead. The kiss. The whisper. Maybe it was all a dream. A visionary warning to change my life before it was too late.
As the CEO millionaire of a major department store in downtown Chicago, believing the holidays are about ribbons and bows; packages, boxes, and bags, and comes from a store has been my upbringing. However, I’ve decided to heed this cautionary tale in search of that something more in the season.
Only, I don’t know exactly how to move from selfish to elf-ish.
When that glorious redhead visits me in the hospital, a plan starts to form. I accept her request for a date to her younger brother’s holiday wedding, setting off a string of unexpected events and emotions.
She becomes my reason for the fa-la-la season.
And maybe perhaps, she’ll see I’m a little bit more than a grinch in a penthouse, but an elf longing to be taken down from the shelf.
This November, L.B. Dunbar continues the seasonal tradition with another holiday hottie coming your way, only this time, HE needs the saving, and SHE’s with the fire department.
EXCERPT
“You don’t happen to sell dates, do ya?”
“We aren’t that kind of establishment.” He smirks, narrowing those icicle eyes once more, but the corner of his mouth ticks. Twitches more like. Like he might have found something humorous in my retort.
The other thing about that smirk—a tiny dimple pops on his barely-stubbled face, like a punctuation symbol. A single quotation mark near his lip, or an apostrophe on his attempt to smile.
I chuff, the sound light and bright, knowing, of course, he didn’t sell dates at his fancy store.
“Anyway . . .” I wave my hand in the air, but Jude catches my wrist, holding it with tender strength in his chilled hand.
That cool sensation that seeped through my glove-covered hand yesterday intensifies with our skin-to-skin contact. His touch feels like the explosion of ice crystals against glass, beautiful while potentially dangerous. The effect should be chilly, but it’s more like a white-hot heat, tickling my flesh, melting me.
Whoa.
Those eyes of his narrow once more as he scans over my face. “You were serious, weren’t you?”
I mean, I was kind of serious. Not that I want a date with him, but I could still use a date for my brother’s spontaneous wedding. The engagement he sprung on the family during Thanksgiving dinner. The way he announced the wedding would take place on December twenty-third. The day before the holiday.
“It’s nothing.” I shake my head, not willing to discuss my non-existent love life with a man who wouldn’t understand lack or love.
Tugging at my wrist, Jude only tightens his grip. His larger hand is cool against my suddenly too-hot skin. “Wait—”
