The Santa I climbed on Friday is the billionaire firing half my office by Monday.
The rules of the Naughty or Nice Audit are simple: pull a dare from the velvet stocking, no chickening out.My dare? March across a packed London pub, dressed as the world’s least family-friendly elf, climb onto the lap of the brooding Santa, and claim a kiss under a sprig of plastic mistletoe.
Easy.
Except the man under the fake beard is six-foot-three of scowling, gorgeous, growly Irishman with no business looking that good in a Santa suit.
One reckless night in a five-star hotel later, I float into Monday morning’s emergency work meeting with my festive spirit thoroughly restored . . . and there he is.
Lorcan Fitzpatrick. Billionaire private equity shark. The ruthless ‘corporate butcher’ who just bought my publishing company and plans to slash half the staff by New Year.
I didn’t sleep with a random Santa.
I slept with my new boss.
Grumpy, off-limits, ten years older, and holding my beloved career in his big hands. The man who decides whether I spend January drawing comics or moving back into Mum’s box room.
Oh, and one tiny detail. The Christmas edition of my spicy comic goes to print in ten days . . . starring a filthy Santa who looks exactly like him.
If he recognizes himself, I’m done for.
Santa Actually is a standalone, steamy holiday romcom novella featuring a grumpy billionaire boss x sunshine heroine, one-night stand to forced proximity, age gap, off-limits workplace tension, a growly Irish hero, all the Christmas feels, and a swoon-worthy happily-ever-after.
