Nick's Gift (Cage Brothers #1)

‘Tis the night before Christmas, and Santa is on my naughty list. He better watch out because I’m in town.


All I want for Christmas is… for it to be over.
I’m in the city to take care of some family business to soothe my nerves. Because everything about this holiday reminds me of my heartache.
Before I head home, I swing by the mall to pick up some gifts for my foster family, aka my bosses. Then I see her—a tantalizing reason not to rush home.


Nothing ruins Christmas like being a struggling single mom. Unfortunately, to make ends meet I have to deal with a handsy mall Santa during my job as an elf.
Then a handsome and dangerous mystery man with rolls of cash hires me to be his shopping helper and stirs dark desires within me.
My instincts say run. But I just can’t help myself…
