Christmas Obsession

At forty-one, I should have my life together.
Instead, I have a blind date,
Unrealistic expectations,
And mission to turn Rugged Mountain into a Christmas wonderland.
Trouble is, the only thing I can focus on is my boss.
He’s older, big, inked, and for some reason… very protective.
Why, though?
Why is he so protective over me?
I shouldn’t push the truth.
I should be a good girl and focus on the tasks at hand.
He’s probably just being kind.
He’d probably offer to drive anyone home in a snowstorm.
But what if I’m wrong?
What if he wants me as badly as I want him?
What if every cell in his body is craving me too?

Author’s Note: This story features a possessive, obsessive, touch‑her‑and‑die older hero, an age gap, and a forbidden dynamic that gets messy fast. Ultra-high heat, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA.
