The Night Before Christmas — Briana Cole

The sexual purge was a way for Corey and his wife Jada to reignite their love for one another. Every Christmas Eve, they exchanged the gift of opportunity; a Christmas Hall Pass where they could be "single" for the evening and entertain sexual desires outside of their marriage. One night only, no questions asked. For years, it worked and allowed them to remain faithful the other 364 days. But this year, one sexual encounter could shatter their marriage and lives entirely. Jada's sister, Erin, is visiting for the holidays and what better way for Corey to take full advantage of his freedom night than with a piece of forbidden fruit. Erin is wild in youth and though Corey loves his wife, he can't deny the sexual attraction with her younger sister. He is well within the established rules but knows he is playing dangerously close with fire. And with good reason. A liberating night of guilt-free sex with his sister-in-law is not without its repercussions. Especially when Erin is determined to take Corey for herself by any means necessary. Three lives spiral out of control when a one-night stand turns into a full-blown affair. Secrets and lies compound and deception tangles the once innocent relationships of family and matrimony. Who do you turn to when the ties that bind aren't so trusting? What happens when permission leads to consequences that can destroy to the point of no return?
