Step-Grinch by Dani Wyatt

What do you get when you take one hot, off-limits felonious cowboy and a secret Grinch fantasy?
A Christmas Eve your parents do not want to hear about.

I’m home from school for the holidays and shocker, my mother and step-father are heading to some tropical retreat to celebrate. Without me.
Merry Christmas to me.
Then, I realize, I’m being followed.
That night, I wake to someone in my room.
He hissed in my ear saying it would be over soon, but I didn’t believe him.
Black clothes. Rough hands. Grinch mask.

I should have screamed. I should have fought.
Instead, I moaned when he called me little Cindy Lou Who. How does this masked intruder know my secrets? He wraps his hands around my throat as fear turns to something dark and sparkly and dangerous. The Montana snow is falling, and so am I.

I don’t know who he is.
But I’ve got a feeling when I find out…
Christmas will never be the same.

Author’s Note: This filthy little novella features a masked intruder, a curvy heroine with a diary full of bad ideas, and a step-brother cowboy who knows exactly what she wants even if she doesn’t know it’s him. Pure fantasy f!lth. No cheating. Safe but very unholy. This Christmas, the Grinch isn’t the only one stuffing something where it doesn’t belong.
