Making Merry — Dixie Kane

BEING NAUGHTY...
For heiress Cecily Culpepper, wedding bells and jingle bells tend to ring in lousy tidings. Ever since her scheming husband skipped town after their Christmas Day nuptials, she's drowned her Yuletide sorrows in headline-making misadventures. Regardless of who's to blame, the holiday has been jinxed, and this season starts out no differently. First, Hannah, a stepdaughter she never knew existed, shows up on her doorstep. Then Cecily's father hires an insolent new chauffeur named Mack, who arouses her temper--among other things--even as he winds himself around her carefully guarded heart like so much ribbon...

...NEVER FELT SO NOCE
Mack Armstrong comes from a long line of blue collars, not bluebloods. But when the no-nonsense cop goes undercover to capture Cecily's doublecrossing spouse, everything suddenly gets seriously complicated--with complication number one being Cecily herself. Mack's never met a woman as crazy, as pampered--or as gorgeous. And when she reveals her softer side while planning a special Christmas for Hannah, Mack realizes he wouldn't mind holding her hostage under the mistletoe forever. The problem is figuring out how to make Cecily understand his deception...and believe that all he wants for Christmas is her love.
