To the fabulous Breetel, Yael and Debbi—you guys rock!
And to my editor Birgit Davis-Todd for always being in my corner.
Dear Reader,
Did you know trading cards aren’t just for sports anymore? There are all kinds. For movie and television shows, comic books, music…you can even collect history trading cards. What they don’t have is Trading Cards for women. One man per card, all the really important stats and preferences listed on the back. Like…is he Marry/Date/One Night Stand material?
In Definitely Naughty, the trading cards are real, but window dresser Aubrey Hayes doesn’t know about them until one literally falls into her hands. It’s serendipity at its sexy best, as Aubrey decides Detective Liam Flynn is destined to be her inspiration as she designs a sexy Christmas holiday window. The poor man doesn’t know that he’s about to embark on the craziest and best adventure of his life.
I’ve always loved twist of fate stories. And no doubt about it, I’m a romantic at heart. Writing for Cosmo’s Red-Hot Reads from Mills & Boon combined two of my favorite things and was more fun than I ever imagined. I’m wild about New York, men who serve and protect, and women who don’t need a man to be happy, but know that it helps…if he’s the right one.
I’d love to hear from you at http://www.joleigh.com, or at my tumblr blog at http://www.tumblr.com/blog/joleighwrites/.
Cheers!

Chapter One
Even Florence killing “Shake It Out” couldn’t pull Aubrey Hayes out of her funk. She balled up her latest sketch and tossed it atop the pile of previously crumpled drawings that cascaded out of her trash can like a river of failure. She should have brought in the Dumpster from outside just to handle the night’s work. A glance at her watch told her the store had been closed for twenty minutes and that the inspiration she’d sought at the old drafting table her boss, Yvonne, had shoved in the corner of the stockroom had deserted her like a rat on a sinking ship. She might as well give it up before she imploded into a puddle of dark curls and red lipstick.
She grabbed her bag, slapped her fedora on her head, wrapped a stripy scarf around her neck and kicked her way out of the mess she’d made. At least the one on the floor. The mess she’d made of her life would take a bit more work. She’d heard about a monastery in upstate New York. Were there female monks? Was the vow of silence a deal breaker?
Aubrey slipped on her coat and made her way into the store proper, where the girl-on-girl mannequin display she’d set up last week caught her eye. The lingerie was part of the Deco collection. Two styles, both see-through bra and panty sets with detailing to die for. She’d been pleased that Yvonne had approved of her decision to position the two girls a hairsbreadth away from a steamy kiss. Equally pleased that a complementary
