When a children’s book author’s only chance to get home for
Christmas lies in a road trip with her sexy ex-husband anything can happen,
naughty or nice. Unwrap this Christmas novella from Amazon best-selling author
Miranda Liasson, CAN’T MISS CHRISTMAS…
About CAN’T MISS CHRISTMAS
Finding love
again is the best Christmas present of all.
It’s two days before Christmas
and bestselling children’s author Grace Alberts needs to fulfill a promise—to
make it to a book signing for the kids at the Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia, the place that did so much for her during a very rough time. But
the weather’s getting awful and all flights are cancelled out of Boston, where
she’s wrapping up her book tour. Then in walks her annoying but extremely sexy
ex-husband, who (as usual) thinks he’s got all the answers.
Graham Walker just stopped by
to get a book signed for Grace’s biggest fan, his niece, and wish Grace a Merry
Christmas—why not? But he soon finds himself troubleshooting her dilemma. He’s
got a Range Rover that can plow through a hundred-year Nor’easter. He’s even
headed home to Philly. Trouble is, Grace's and his past is a disaster,
something he has no intention of reliving while driving through a winter storm,
no matter how much he once loved her. And maybe still does.
Bad weather has a way of
bringing out the best and the worst in people, and when a run in with some deer
antlers leads them to a forced stop in Mirror Lake, Connecticut, anything can
happen, naughty or nice. Maybe a bit of enforced alone time and some Christmas
magic can be just what it takes for them to face their past—and each other—once
and for all.

Excerpt:
Somehow, Grace managed to pass Graham and get in the bathroom,
where she used the time to try to calm the hell down. If she didn’t come up
with an excuse to leave this room, something combustible was going to happen
between them. She had to get out while she still had all her wits about her.
When she’d finally got her breathing under control, she left the
bathroom, walked toward her suitcase, and stubbed her toe on the bed.
She let out a curse and hopped around a little, imagining what she
must look like with her bedhead hair, red plaid flannel, and Christmas socks.
Very sexy. Unlike the delicious, muscular god walking toward her.
She tried to use the pain to distract herself from how her mouth
had suddenly gone dry and her knees felt as wobbly as a one-year-old’s, but it
wasn’t really working. Worse, Graham stepped a little closer.
She splayed out her arms, warning him back. All that lean muscle,
all that raw, masculine heat—it could not
come near her. She would throw herself at him, smooth her hands over all that
hard, bountiful muscle, and beg for things. Her body could not be trusted. “I’m
fine. Really. Just stubbed my toe.”
“Want me to take a look?”
His gaze was torching her, like paper in a fire that turns
immediately to ash and blows away.
The fact that he was now inches away with his lips quirked into
the slightest smile told her he didn’t heed her warning, or give a damn about
it. And oh, she did not want him to. He was so close now, she could smell the
soap from his shower, see the little beads of water on his shoulders. His
fingers gripped her elbow, and she swore it tingled from his touch. Other parts
of her were sort of on fire too. So not good. “Let’s see it,” he said, the smile
morphing into a wicked grin.
“Graham, I’m fine.” She tried to shrug away. He dropped his hand,
but still she felt pinned in place, unable to move or even breathe. Electricity
buzzed and snapped between them. She didn’t want him to see how much he affected
her, yet she was helpless with him so near.
His gaze homed in on her lips. He was going to…yes, he was. Kiss
her. Her heartbeat thrummed in her throat, and every muscle froze in
anticipation.
She wanted it. Wanted him.
So, so badly.
Graham lowered his mouth. The dip of his head was so familiar, yet
it made every nerve stand on end. At last, their lips met. His were soft and
pliant, and they brushed against hers, carefully and slowly. Her hand was
trembling as she wrapped it around his neck and pulled him toward her until
their bodies were flush, fitting together like they were always meant to.
That simple move blew careful and slow right out of the water. His
mouth crushed hers, devouring her with deep, sensual kisses. His tongue slid
inside her mouth, and she met it with equal vigor, desire roaring and crashing
between them, unleashed like a storm surge, uncontrollable and insatiable.
Suddenly, Graham pulled back, out of breath. He cradled her face
in his hands and looked at her tenderly. “I missed you,” he said. “I missed this.”
