If she has her way…


Willa Davis is wrangling puppies when Keane Winters stalks into her pet shop with frustration in his chocolate-brown eyes and a pink bedazzled cat carrier in his hand. He needs a kitty sitter, stat. But the last thing Willa needs is to rescue a guy who doesn’t even remember her…


…He’ll get nothing but coal in his stocking.


Saddled with his great-aunt’s Feline from Hell, Keane is desperate to leave her in someone else’s capable hands. But in spite of the fact that he’s sure he’s never seen the drop-dead gorgeous pet shop owner before, she seems to be mad at him…


Unless he tempers “naughty” with a special kind of nice…


Willa can’t deny that Keane’s changed since high school: he’s less arrogant, for one thing—but he doesn’t even remember her. How can she trust him not to break her heart again? It’s time to throw a coin in the fountain, make a Christmas wish–and let the mistletoe do its work…

Willa sighed and headed to the door.
              Again Keane held the pink bedazzled cat carrier, which should have made him look ridiculous. Instead it somehow upped his testosterone levels. His sharp eyes were on her but they turned warm in a way that melted her right through her center as she moved toward him. She stopped with the glass door between them, hands on hips, hoping she looked irritated even if that wasn’t quite what she was feeling.
              His gaze lowered from her face to run over her body, which gave her another unwelcome rush of heat. Dammit. Now she was irritated andaroused—not a good combo.
              His mouth quirked at the saying on her apron that read Dear Santa, I Can Explain.
              Drawing a deep breath, she opened the door. “You’ve got Petunia again. I hope that means your great-aunt Sally isn’t still sick.”
              He looked surprised that she’d remembered his aunt’s name, or that she’d care. “I don’t know,” he said a little gruffly. “She left me a message saying that I was in charge for the rest of the week but for two days now Pita’s been happily destroying my jobsite. I’m throwing myself on your mercy here. Can you help?”
              Wow. He must be really desperate since he was actually asking and not assuming. But since Petunia was a sweetheart, she knew she’d do it.
              “I’ll even tell you where I went to high school,” he said, adding a smile that was shockingly charming.
              Wow. He hadn’t lost his touch when it came to turning it on. “Not necessary,” she said, painfully aware of their audience.
              Keane’s attention was suddenly directed upward, just above her head. She followed his line of sight and found a sprig of mistletoe hanging from the overhead display of small portable doggy pools. Mistletoe? What the hell? She glanced behind her and what do you know, suddenly Rory and Cara were a flurry of movement racing around looking very, very busy. “When did the mistletoe go up?” she asked them. “And why?”
              “FOMO,” Cara said from behind the counter.
              “Fear of missing out,” Rory translated. “She was hoping a hot guy would come in and the mistletoe would give her an excuse.”
              Willa narrowed her eyes and her two soon-to-be-dead employees scattered again.
              “Interesting,” Keane said, looking amused.
              “I’m not kissing you.”
              His mouth curved. “If you take Pita for the day, I’ll kiss you.”
              “Not necessary,” she said, gratified no one could see her heart during the two-step in her ears. “I’ll take Petunia for the day. No kiss required or wanted.”
              Liar, liar

  1. This one sounds so good! I love Jill Shalvis! I don't have too many superstitions...the only one I can think of is that if my team wins the game then I have to wear that jersey for the rest of the season because it's good luck. LOL One of the traditions in my house is that we always decorate our christmas tree as a family the weekend after Thanksgiving. And we pick out a new ornament every year.

  2. I am OCD so I have certain things I have to do in threes but other than that no.

  3. Not so much superstitious as I believe in the supernatural. I honestly believe there are things out there that just cannot be explained any other way.

  4. I was super careful not to brag about my kids too much because I was afraid it would bite me in the behind if I did.

  5. I do have some superstitions, mostly picked them up from my best friend. Like, you have to leave the house by the same door you came in and also, never put shoes on the table.

  10. I lift my feet (when a passenger) going over train tracks. Someone told me years ago it was good luck, and it just sort of stuck with me.

  13. I have lots of superstitions... walk around my chair backwards to change my luck, won't walk under a ladder and those types of things.

  14. I was raised in a superstitious, southern household ... of course I'm the product of my raising! Everything from putting a cross (with my finger) smuge on glass, when a black cat crosses my path to throwing a pinch of salt over my shoulder when I'm cooking.
