Six holiday romances, from sexy to sweet, prove that love is better on the Naughty List.
All Daniel wanted for Christmas was to spoil his new girlfriend, Anya, make love under the tree, and ignore all his old heartaches.

(A Christmas Maggie is the final story in the Daniel trio [from the Original Sinners series] beginning with The Gift and followed by Daniel Part Two.)

From Stealing Time by Wendy Sparrow
Zeit snapped his fingers as he approached the sweet brunette stumbling through the snow. All around him, shoppers froze, and the air went still. Snow hung in place like a fog. Hannah shouldnât be out on the streets on the day before Christmas. It was too busy. Too crowded. Hell, it was too easyâshe made it easier to kill her than to keep her alive on days like this.
He could feel the pull of the Fates as they attempted, once again, to steal her from him. His beautiful conundrum was standing too close to the curb again and about to hit a patch of ice. In another fifteen seconds of mortalâs time, sheâd have slipped on the ice, as that woman carrying the terrier brushed by, knocking Hannah out in front of the snow plow.
Messy.
âYouâre getting gruesome,â Zeit called to the Fates.
He stopped in front of the pink-cheeked mortal.
âThirty-eight times now, Hannah.â Thirty-eight times heâd stopped the clock for her.
Snow clung to her eyelashes, and her red lips were parted, probably in shock that sheâd, once again, dropped her favorite scarf. Her hand was poised at her neck, feeling for the crimson scarf he held in his hand.
