Running my billion-dollar underworld business in secret from the icy north has kept me safe and should have done the same for my family.
But, when tragedy destroys my step-granddaughter Carina’s world, I become her steward. The one she trusts above all.
With her living under my roof, keeping my obsessive desires hidden behind the doors of my workshop becomes impossible.
My resolve is breaking. She’s over eighteen but as temping as sugar plums and as innocent as turtle doves. When I don my Santa suit for our annual holiday party, she whispers secret wishes in my ear and what I give her has her bouncing on my lap begging for more.
Only, there’s danger lurking behind the twinkling lights and I’ll risk everything to make her mine.
And mine she will be. Forever.
