Hot winter kisses to warm broken hearts….

Sick of tending to everyone else’s needs around the holidays, divorced barmaid and granny Sandra ferries it from London to Belfast. All she wants for Christmas is some peace with a romance story in front of a roaring fire in a remote Irish castle. What she gets is a most unexpected Christmas present from her friends at Bell’s—A 1Night Stand with a young Irishman.

Can she hack it in the real world of romance, or are life’s complications and treacherous snowstorms best left to the pages of a book?

Newly widowed Ardan Draighean owns Ballygalley castle. Once run as a hotel with his late wife, the stone building now serves as a home for him and his son. After hearing about Madame Eve’s matchmaking skills, he contacts her in search of the perfect match. Although much older than him—by fifteen years—Sandra is his ideal woman. He be damned if he’ll let a good story get in the way of his happy ever after with her.

Hot winter kisses are all this couple needs to stay warm this Christmas, but will the heat stay long after the magical season of mistletoe has finished?

HOT WINTER KISS, Ardan's tree excerpt

Should he have been upfront with Sandra? He had hidden his identity from her both times he’d bumped into her in the castle yesterday. First, in the morning in Laura’s kitchen, and later, in reception, where he had hoped to discreetly drop off her suitcase. She had spotted him and wrapped her arms around him, even kissed him on the cheek. He played along like the guest she seemed to think he was and chatted about pheasants, leaving out the tiny little detail he was Ardan, her date for the evening.

Now what would he say? Should he pretend her date was a no-show because of the snow? No, not a very gallant thing to do. He did not want her to know he was loaded and king of the castle, but he could’ve certainly explained he was her date arranged by 1Night Stand. He could’ve given her that much.

Our kiss in the snow sent me cuckoo. Ah, bugger it.

She was a looker, with her blonde hair and bright blue eyes—those oceanic pools mesmerized him, took him into the very depths of her. And her womanly curves stirred him to the brink of insanity. He’d like to feel her flesh under his touch, to clamp those nipples in his teeth, to hear her squeals of delight, to tie her up in tinsel and....

Focus.

He wrestled with the tree so it stood straight. Next, he trimmed some of the more unruly stems and stood back to study his work. It’d been two years since he’d had a Nordmann Fir in the house. Two years since he’d even considered celebrating Christmas in any form. It’d taken him ages to locate the old box of decorations and lights in the attic. Even found the treetop fairy he made as a child. It had been Amy’s favorite decoration, and she always took such care perching her in such a way so a tree light would sit beneath her skirt and light her up.
