When Ryna Montgomery hosts a blind date ball she doesn't expect to find a man, let alone go home with one like Tyler Chance. He's everything she's attracted to, and everything she knows she has to avoid. Can Tyler make Ryna realize they really can have it all?

Excerpt:
It was only when Tyler brushed a tear from her cheek with his thumb that she realized she was crying.

"I had no idea who you were when I invited you up to my room." He turned her face toward his.

"You'll forgive me if I don't believe you?" She inserted as much sarcasm into her voice as she could.

"Oh, Ryna." He sighed and brushed his mouth against her ear. "Feel that?"

She shivered as he sucked her earlobe into his mouth. Hell yeah she could feel it. But she wanted to ignore it.

Tyler dropped his hands to her hips, and tugged her lower body against his. "Feel my desire? You do this to me. Even knowing that you think I'm a liar and that I tricked you into making love to me last night can't calm my body. I won't give you up, Ryna. We might be business partners now, but still I want more. You told me one night stands weren't your thing."

She opened her mouth to deny it, but he kissed her. Tyler nibbled on her lower lip, before sucking it in between his. He moved his body against hers, leaving no doubt in her mind what he'd like to be doing right now.

Ryna shivered and lifted her hands. She buried them in his hair, and gave herself over to the kiss, reveling in the feel of his thumbs as they caressed small circles on her stomach. With a moan, Ryna arched her back and opened eyes she didn't remember closing. She met his heavy lidded gaze and knew that if they were inside nothing would have prevented him from making love to her again. God help her, she wanted him to. Ryna groaned and pulled away from him.

"Ryna, my sweet. We are far from finished. I did not set out to seduce you. I didn't even know who you really were. If you think you can get rid of me so easily you'd better think again. I'm here to stay. You belong in my arms, and I'm not letting you go."

"I can't do this."

"You have until Monday, then I'll begin my pursuit of you."


What are people saying about the anthology?

Jennie from Enchanted Ramblings gave the Christmas Candy Anthology 5 Wands and said:
Kudos to Whiskey Creek Press Torrid for putting together a fabulous collection of sexy holiday stories by some super talented authors guaranteed to warm the cold winter nights. Not a single entry disappoints. From sexy vamps, and rugged wilderness guides to aggressive elves and romantic ghosts, there's something here for everyone. Highly recommended

Susan at Two Lips Reviews had this to say about the Anthology:
Christmas Candy Anthology places a whole new meaning to the phrase "A hard candy Christmas". With plenty of peppermint sticks, sugar coated nut balls and cream filled bon-bons there is a story here for you whether your preference is funny, romantic, naughty or heartwarming. You will want to order copies for Christmas gifts once you have read Christmas Candy Anthology.

Annick from Euro-Reviews had this to say about the Anthology:
"This Christmas anthology starts with a poem called The Night Before Christmas written by Barry Bryan. What follows are nine Christmas-inspired stories to read and enjoy. Stories about women who need sex and about women who have a special holiday this year. I'd say these stories will definitely keep you warm during those cold winter holidays. But of course you can read them at any time of the year. If you like erotic stories which are a bit different from the usual then try the Christmas Candy Anthology, it might just be exactly what you're looking for."
