A diamond for Christmas Flora Morgan is determined to honor her best friend’s dying wish, even if it means relocating to England and accepting the challenge to try to fix Alex Trevelyan’s broken heart. Except brooding musician Alex, her best friend’s brother, isn’t interested in Flora’s help. She may be beautiful, but he’s no charity case! Until it becomes clear that he isn’t the only one who needs saving. And perhaps he’s the key to showing this beautiful breath of fresh air that love can be found in the most unexpected of places! ‘In case it’s bad luck to ignore it—’ Flora pointed at the mistletoe ‘—I’m just going to kiss you on the cheek.’ But as she leaned forward, angling her head so that her lips were aiming for the side of his face, Alex turned towards her and their mouths connected. She drew back with a startled gasp. ‘Oh! Sorry, I didn’t mean to—’ But he cut her off by sliding his hand into her hair and pulling her back towards him, pressing his mouth hard against hers again so deliberately there was no way she could misconstrue it as an accident. Her insides seemed to melt as he deepened the kiss, opening his mouth to slide his tongue against hers. It was a covetous kiss, full of need and determination, and she sank into it, basking in his hunger. When he finally released his grip on the back of her head and they drew apart, their mouths remaining only centimetres from each other, they stood transfixed in each other’s gazes, their breathing loud in the quiet corridor. ‘What—? What’s going on here?’ she gasped, staring into his eyes in total astonishment. ‘I’m kissing you this time,’ he murmured, gazing at her with such fierce intensity that her whole body flooded with desire. ‘Is that okay?’ She blinked at him. ‘Uh—yes. Of course. Yes, it’s okay.’ Because it was. It really, really was. The corner of his mouth lifted in a smile. ‘In that case I’m going to do it again.’ His Mistletoe Proposal Christy McKellen Formerly a video and radio producer, CHRISTY MCKELLEN now spends her time writing fun, impassioned and emotive romance with an undercurrent of sensual tension.

Mum Contents To my darling Flora—confidante, cheerleader and anchor to my universe, So this is weird, right? Me speaking to you from the grave.
