Candy Canes by Crystal North

Do you crave your holiday romances with a touch of darkness?

Fleeing from haunting memories and regrettable choices, Candy finds herself on a collision course with her past. Her explosive outburst at work results in termination just a week before Christmas, setting off a chain of unfortunate events beyond her control. Desperation grips her as she scrambles to secure employment, fighting to avoid returning to life on the unforgiving streets.
A cryptic advertisement, a mysterious phone call, and a bizarre job interview thrust Candy into a one-night trial at a peculiar new establishment across town. It’s the golden opportunity that she needs and she won’t let anything or anyone stand in her way.
But as she arrives for her shift, the truth unfolds—Candy Canes, the Christmas-themed bar she envisioned, is no ordinary bar; it’s an exclusive underground club led by a man affectionately known as ‘Daddy North.’ He exudes an irresistible blend of sexy Santa charm and dungeon master allure.
Surviving a single shift might be feasible when North’s attention lands on her. She might even be able to deal with the interests of his friends and colleagues. But can they save her from the dark threats that loom over her, threatening to steal her away like a thief in the night?

Candy Canes is an intoxicating ‘why choose’ standalone romance, where our heroine’s path to happiness includes multiple love interests. This tale is tailored for mature audiences over 18, seeking a Christmas experience with a tantalising twist.
