***NOVELLA previously published by Kensington Brava in the Wicked Women On Top anthology. It has been re-edited and expanded.*** Brandon Walker hasn't set eyes on Cara Martin in over eight years. When he catches a shapely woman breaking into his colleague's home files during a company Christmas party, he does what any healthy, sexually aware male would do-he takes advantage of the situation. The floor drops out from under his feet when he realizes the thief's identity. Cara Martin is no thief, but she's on the trail of one. All she needs is proof, but it's hard to seem like a credible private investigator when you're on your hands and knees staring at someone's navel. Before Cara can explain her position, she finds herself shoved into a closet and kissed senseless. One minute Brandon's on the fast track to success. The next, his job's on shaky ground after he's discovered in a compromising position with the one woman he can never have-his best friend's little sister. And the holidays are just beginning.
