Blurb
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.

āLook.ā I
point at the recipe. āFlour, 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 thatās everything.
Promise.ā
He leans
close enough that I can smell the sharp clean scent of his body wash and
expensive aftershave.
āHuh. Well
theyāre way better than the last ones.ā He practically inhales another one.
My teeth
sink into my lower lip and tug. āUm, yeah. I over-mixed those. And I didnāt
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 Iām not sure why. Jonah doesnāt see me like that. He never
looks at my mouth. Maybe the way to his heart really is through his
stomach.
āCan I keep
this?ā He retrieves the recipe from the countertop. āI might have Erma make a
big batch for some friends of mine.ā
āMmhm.ā Iām
temporarily stunned from the way heās openly watching my mouth. Our faces are
close enough to touch.
Erma is his
housekeeper and sheās an amazing cook. Iād be jealous of her but sheās sixty
and looks like Mrs. Doubtfire so I donāt think sheās Jonahās type.
āThanks.
Donāt 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 heās out of my
personal space.
āJonah, wait.ā
He turns,
his hip bones doing that sexy V thing that make my mouth water.
āI actually
need that recipe back.ā My body shifts into panic mode as he regards me warily
with the recipe in his hand. āIāll type you up a better copy. I need to make a
few adjustments anyway and I canāt remember what website I got that one
from.ā
My heart is
racing and my words are coming out on top of one another.
Jonahās
expression says Iām acting as crazed as I feel.
He doesnāt
make a move to give it back.
āJonah,
seriously. I need that one. Please.ā
I have no
poker face. Iām practically begging and that is not like me.
āYou need it?ā He cocks his head to the side,
amusement dancing in his eyes.
For a few
seconds, I worry heās going to pull some big brother crap on meāhold it over my
head and make me jump for it or something. I get enough of that from Mikey and
Tony. I definitely donāt 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.
āWhatās
this?ā He glances at me then back at the list. āYour Christmas wish list on
here, Rossi?ā
āGive it
back, Jonah. Iām serious.ā I canāt breathe.
I reach for
it and he steps backward. āHang 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. Iām losing sight of whatās important here.
āAdult
toys, lingerie, and law breaking?ā Jonah nods appreciatively. āArenāt you a
busy little elf this holiday season?ā
āShut up.
My sister-in-law wrote that. She thought it would show you that I deserve the
job.ā I sigh heavily. āYouāve had your fun. Now give it back.ā
He hasnāt
made it to number six yet.
Please, sweet baby Jesus, donāt let him make it
to number six.
āHang on,ā
he says, reaching out and keeping me at armās length. āWhat else have we got
here?ā
āJonah!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.
Jonahās
towel falls and he is naked, holding a piece of paper that suggests I sit on
his face.
