HOLLIS ROSSI is tired of being good. What's it ever gotten her, anyway?
When her boss, the infamous and illusive Jonah X, passes her up for a promotion because she's "too wholesome" to handle being his personal assistant, she sets out on a mission to prove him wrong.
Her naughty list contains everything she plans to do to show him she's not the innocent, naive girl he thinks she is. She just didn't plan on him finding it. 
As Jonah shows her the ropes of being bad, she can't help but wish he'd show her some other ropes--like the ones in his bedroom. 

The Naughty List is a steamy contemporary holiday romance.

Excerpt

ā€œLook.ā€ I point at the recipe. ā€œFlour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, salt, almond milk, canola oil, vanilla, lemon juice, and fresh blueberries. The streusel on top has some vegan butter in it, but thatā€™s everything. Promise.ā€ 
He leans close enough that I can smell the sharp clean scent of his body wash and expensive aftershave. 
ā€œHuh. Well theyā€™re way better than the last ones.ā€ He practically inhales another one.
My teeth sink into my lower lip and tug. ā€œUm, yeah. I over-mixed those. And I didnā€™t know you were supposed to mix your wet and dry ingredients separately. My mom gave me some tips this time.ā€ 
His eyes drop to my mouth but Iā€™m not sure why. Jonah doesnā€™t see me like that. He never looks at my mouth. Maybe the way to his heart really is through his stomach. 
ā€œCan I keep this?ā€ He retrieves the recipe from the countertop. ā€œI might have Erma make a big batch for some friends of mine.ā€
ā€œMmhm.ā€ Iā€™m temporarily stunned from the way heā€™s openly watching my mouth. Our faces are close enough to touch. 
Erma is his housekeeper and sheā€™s an amazing cook. Iā€™d be jealous of her but sheā€™s sixty and looks like Mrs. Doubtfire so I donā€™t think sheā€™s Jonahā€™s type. 
ā€œThanks. Donā€™t give the dogs any of my muffins,ā€ he teases. 
Zeus gave up long ago but Achilles is still staring longingly at the muffins.
He moves to exit the kitchen and my brain resumes full function once heā€™s out of my personal space. 
ā€œJonah, wait.ā€ 
He turns, his hip bones doing that sexy V thing that make my mouth water. 
ā€œI actually need that recipe back.ā€ My body shifts into panic mode as he regards me warily with the recipe in his hand. ā€œIā€™ll type you up a better copy. I need to make a few adjustments anyway and I canā€™t remember what website I got that one from.ā€ 
My heart is racing and my words are coming out on top of one another.
Jonahā€™s expression says Iā€™m acting as crazed as I feel. 
He doesnā€™t make a move to give it back. 
ā€œJonah, seriously. I need that one. Please.ā€ 
I have no poker face. Iā€™m practically begging and that is not like me. 
ā€œYou need it?ā€ He cocks his head to the side, amusement dancing in his eyes. 
For a few seconds, I worry heā€™s going to pull some big brother crap on meā€”hold it over my head and make me jump for it or something. I get enough of that from Mikey and Tony. I definitely donā€™t need it from Jonah. 
Thankfully he just shakes his head and starts to hand it back. 
Until his eyes catch the writing on the back. 
ā€œWhatā€™s this?ā€ He glances at me then back at the list. ā€œYour Christmas wish list on here, Rossi?ā€ 
ā€œGive it back, Jonah. Iā€™m serious.ā€ I canā€™t breathe. 
I reach for it and he steps backward. ā€œHang on a minute. I need to know what to get you for Christmas.ā€ 
His eyebrows shoot up as soon as he makes out the words. His lips move as he reads. I never noticed that before. 
I give myself a mental slap. Iā€™m losing sight of whatā€™s important here. 
ā€œAdult toys, lingerie, and law breaking?ā€ Jonah nods appreciatively. ā€œArenā€™t you a busy little elf this holiday season?ā€ 
ā€œShut up. My sister-in-law wrote that. She thought it would show you that I deserve the job.ā€ I sigh heavily. ā€œYouā€™ve had your fun. Now give it back.ā€ 
He hasnā€™t made it to number six yet. 
Please, sweet baby Jesus, donā€™t let him make it to number six.
ā€œHang on,ā€ he says, reaching out and keeping me at armā€™s length. ā€œWhat else have we got here?ā€ 
ā€œJonah!ā€ I make a grab for the list, swiping my hand wildly, hoping to at least tear it. 
I miss, catching his towel instead. 
In one split-second, my entire universe takes a hard left. 
Jonahā€™s towel falls and he is naked, holding a piece of paper that suggests I sit on his face.
