All mystery author Maggie Kelly wants for Christmas is to snuggle under the mistletoe with her fictional Regency Era creation who's miraculously come to life. Too bad someone has something a bit more sinister in mind for Maggie this holiday season... She hasn't always been nice... Maggie is still marveling at the fact that the drop-dead gorgeous Regency hero of her novels--Alexandre Blake, the Viscount Saint Just--has miraculously come to life and is shacking up in her 21st century apartment. Unfortunately, the handsome rake is demanding more than a few heart-melting kisses under the mistletoe. For one thing, he's hellbent on being her protector, even though Maggie's made it quite clear she's no helpless damsel in distress. For another, he's made himself quite comfortable--in her bed.
