Mel

Christmas wishes are for kids and fools. Yet here I am, asking Santa for Axton—the man who kissed me before disappearing into the military.

Now I’m snowed in with him on his mountain, and he’s as gruff, scarred, and sexy as ever. Every time I get close, he pushes me away, but I’m not giving up—this Christmas, I want him.

We share stolen moments that feel like they could be the start of something real… until he shuts me out again, leaving me more confused than ever.

Why should I hold on when he keeps pushing me away?

Axton

Mel deserves the world, not a broken man like me.

I’ve kept my distance, convinced that time would scrub away the memories of her soft lips and sweet moans. But being close to her is torture—and heaven—wrapped up in one.

As her Secret Santa, each gift I give feels like I’m handing her a piece of my heart. But when danger from my past threatens her, I realize that letting her go could mean losing her forever.

This Christmas, I might just risk it all to make her mine.

In the small town of Silver Ridge, secret Santa surprises and rugged mountain men lead to steamy holiday romances. Six standalone tales by Olivia Reign, Blaire Wilde, Emma Blake, Lisa Ryan, Raven Blaire, and Josie Hart will warm your heart and heat up your holidays!
