Billionaire bossâs festive seduction!
Shy Chloe Russo is dreading her first Christmas running the family business. Working with Nico Di Fiore is the last straw! Once, Nicoâs kisses promised Chloe every sensual delight, until he coldly rejected her. Now heâs her very commanding, very arrogant boss!
Control is paramount to Nicoâafter his fatherâs bankruptcy lost him everything, nothing will distract him from succeeding. Heâs always kept a tight rein on his craving for Chloe, well aware she alone has the power to disarm him. But now, unable to deny their connection, Nico is determined to reclaim control and take Chloe as his own!
âCome over here, then,â Nico murmured, the hard lines of his face pure challenge. âIf youâre so sure of what you want.â
He expected the invitation to frighten Chloe off. She could tell from the look on his face. And for a moment it did, freezing all coherent thought. She sucked in a breath, delivered necessary oxygen to her brain. She knew in that moment this was the only opening she was ever going to get with Nico. She either seized it or wondered what if? forever.
She shrugged her shoulders and let the towel fall to the chair. Got to her feet and walked over to him.
He didnât resist, but he didnât move to meet the kiss either. She found his lips with hers. Hard, betraying none of that inherent sensuality that was so much a part of him. She thought for a terrifying instant he was going to reject her. Then a soft curse escaped him, his arms clamped around her waist and he lifted her astride him, his hands cupping her bottom in his palms. She had just enough time to take a deep breath before he took her mouth in a hard, demanding kiss that slammed into her senses.
Demanded everything.
As if it would make her run. As if he wanted her to run.
Instead, it made her skin burn.

CHAPTER ONE
SHE WAS NOT losing this one.
Chloe Russo fixed her gaze on the bright yellow taxi that had appeared like an apparition from heaven in the ferociously snarled First Avenue traffic, its lit number her only chance at salvation in the monsoon that had descended over Manhattan.
Shielding her eyes from the driving rain, she stepped a foot deeper into the layers of honking, snarling traffic and jammed her hand high in the air. The driver of a Bentley sounded his horn furiously as he swerved to avoid her, but Chloe, heart pounding, kept her eyes glued to the taxi driverâs face, willing him to stop.
The taxi slid to a halt in front of her in a cacophony of screeching horns and spraying water. Heart soaring, she waded through the giant puddle that stood between her and victory, flung the door of the taxi open and slid inside, reeling off Evolutionâs Fifth Avenue address with a request to step on it that made the cabbie roll his eyes.
âLady,â he muttered caustically, âhave you looked outside?â
Sheâd been standing in it for half an hour, she wanted to scream. While thirty-five of his coworkers had passed her byâshe knew because sheâd counted every one of them. But picking a fight with the last remaining cab driver in Manhattan seemed unwise, given her present situation.
