The Christmas Date

the long version

A Sprig Of Mistletoe, Some Christmas Magic...And Who Knew What Might Happen?Kate Merrill wasn't kidding herself. Attractive men didn't commit, as she knew very well from growing up without a father. So even though the jet-setting photographer with the high-voltage smile was the most captivating guy she'd ever met, she refused to think of him as anything more than a fling. Tyler Nichols was addicted to adventure. So at first he was relieved that the cynical law clerk with the cool blue eyes didn't expect him to stick around for long. But that was before he realized that being with Kate was a thrill he wasn't getting tired of. Now their future depended on him getting back to her on time from his most dangerous assignment. He just better not be late for their Christmas date!
