NEW RELEASE: NIGHT BEFORE by DANI WYATT

Amazon

Until Malcolm Knight set his eyes upon the curvy cherub of a Christmas 

elf in his department store’s Santa’s Village, Christmas meant nothing to

 him except what it did for the bottom line.  Now, his inner Scrooge is 

melting away.  Replaced by thoughts of her sugar-plums and if they taste 

as good as they look.

Penny Evergreen lives for Christmas.  When her parents jet off for the 

holidays, sending her all alone to New York for a month-long training to 

relieve the piano prodigy of her paralyzing stage fright, she takes one look

 at the elaborate Christmas Village at the prestigious Knight & Knight 

department store, and she hatches a holiday plan of her own.

Will these two star-crossed opposites attract?  Or will their deceptions

 be the end of this holiday fairy tale before it has a chance to take off?

Author’s Note:   Grab your candy canes and sit in front of the fire.

  This sugary sweet Christmas story will warm your heart and melt 

your panties.  This May-December quick holiday romance is sure to

 have you asking Santa for some Malcolm of your very own.  

Complete with insta-everything, safe and always a happy ending.

 Or two.  Or ten.

My vision is filled with a thousand twinkling lights as I glance over my 

shoulder to see Malcolm’s enormous form to the side of me.  He’s got 

one arm outstretched behind my back, not touching me—not yet—but

 I feel where his hand hovers in the air just above my back side.  It’s

 that chivalrous, gentlemanly motion that nearly buckles my knees.
My vision is drowsy as my eyes fall to the front of his jeans where I see 

an enormous bulge.
I draw in a sharp breath and jerk my head back up to face forward, 

embarrassed by my own forwardness but unable to resist the thought: 

could his erection be because of me?
No.
Do not be a fool, Elf Penny.
Maybe he’s got some crazy elf kink or something.  Because no way a man like

 him would be interested in a pudgy elf like me.  Still, the thought of his 

enormous erection leaves me speechless and breathless as he guides us 

toward a table in the back of the sitting area that surrounds where Randall

 is already playing happily with another couple of boys about his own age.
“Sit,”  Malcolm orders and his bossy tone causes a shiver of delight wrestling 

through me.  It feels as if my bones are liquefying as I melt into the chair and

 wait for whatever comes next.
“Sitting,”  I manage as he takes a seat in front of me.  The same sort of position

 as yesterday, only this time he’s closer. His legs spread around as my knees

 nearly bump into his crotch.  I do everything in my power to avert my eyes 

from the fullness there, but at the same time as he sits, he lets out an 

uncomfortable chuff in his throat, and I can only imagine it must be difficult 

to bend something that hard and long.
Heat rises up my legs where they connect to his.  The same heartbeat that is

 deafening in my ears is also wildly distracting as it thumps between my legs.  

My mouth is watering as well and I lick my lips as I try to make sense of what’s

 happening right now.
Malcolm sits quietly.  There’s a vibration growing in the empty space between

 us and my heart is thundering in my chest.
“What do you want to talk about?”  I blurt out, unable to stand the silence 

another moment.
He bites into his bottom lip.  Dark eyes fasten to me.  “Fuck.”  He bows his 

head then looks up at the ceiling, then back to me.
My belly tightens.  The muscles in my neck feel like metal cords ready to snap.
“What?”  I lean in, compelled—even though he’s a near stranger—to relieve

 him of whatever the strain is I hear in his voice.  “Whatever it is, you can 

tell me.  I want to know.”
“Penny.”  He looks at me and I see the tangle of conflict in his eyes. “Just 

promise me, I won’t scare the shit out of you.”
I raise my eyebrows, wondering what it could be, but still deep in my 

heart wanting to know.
“Okay.  I promise.  As long as it doesn’t involve you decapitating me, 

dismembering me, or any other sort of felonious thing regarding me.”
A strained chuckle rumbles from him, and a genuine smile spreads up into 

his eyes.  Then he nods before he continues.  “My nephew didn’t even want

 to come here today.”
“Really?”  I blink, wondering what’s coming next.  Because I can feel most 

definitely something is coming next.
“Really.  I wanted to come.  To see you.”
I sit, silent, as he tightens his legs around mine and sends my nipples 

into points yet again.
He raises a hand to brush down where my hair rests against the 

side of my face, raising goosebumps all over my skin.
“That’s not completely true,”  he adds.  “The truth is, I came here

 to kiss you.  Because that’s all I’ve thought about. Are you ready for that?”

She's a 40 something regular lady who just happens to love badass

 alpha males who pull your hair and love their women with a lethal passion.

When she's not writing (which is not often) she is probably laughing

 about some irony (like A-1 Steak Sauce is vegan), riding her horse, 

wondering why The Walking Dead can't have a new episode every 

night, or looking cross-eyed at some piece of technology sent to ruin her day.
