Can’t Miss Christmas
A standalone Mirror Lake Christmas novella
by Miranda Liasson
Blurb:
Finding love again is the best Christmas present of all.
Itβs two days before Christmas and bestselling childrenβs author Grace Alberts needs to fulfill a promiseβto make it to a book signing for the kids at the Childrenβs Hospital of Philadelphia, the place that did so much for her during a very rough time. But the weatherβs getting awful and all flights are cancelled out of Boston, where sheβs wrapping up her book tour. Then in walks her annoying but extremely sexy ex-husband, who (as usual) thinksΒ heβs got all the answers.
Graham Walker just stopped by to get a book signed for Graceβs biggest fan, his niece, and wish Grace a Merry Christmasβwhy not? But he soon finds himself troubleshooting her dilemma. Heβs got a Range Rover that can plow through a hundred-year Norβeaster. Heβs 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 pastβand each otherβonce 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 didnβt 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 sheβd 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-oldβs, but it wasnβt really working. Worse, Graham stepped a little closer.
She splayed out her arms, warning him back. All that lean muscle, all that raw, masculine heatβit 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. βIβm fine. Really. Just stubbed my toe.β
βWant me to take a look?β
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 didnβt 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. βLetβs see it,β he said, the smile morphing into a wicked grin.
βGraham, Iβm fine.β 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 didnβt 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 toβ¦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. βI missed you,β he said. βI missed this.β
