"HolidayCure for the Cursed" by Lindsey Gray
Daniel
Digby is cursed by his good looks. After years of sexual harassment, he's

CiCi
Newport is cursed by her family's money. When men look her way, all they see
are dollar signs. After two years, her "no dating" rule is still in
place.
After
a chance meeting, they're entwined for the holidays. What starts as attraction
might just be the holiday cure they're looking for.

Excerpt
CiCi
was relieved when they pulled up to a brownstone that had been converted into
apartments only ten blocks away from her own home.
Once inside, Daniel told CiCi to text Emily his address while they rode the
elevator to his apartment. Not ten seconds later, Emily had texted with a
warning to remember to use a condom.
CiCi laughed, and Daniel caught sight
of the text.
He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. “I was hoping you’d share a
drink with me, but if you’re interested in taking things further . . .”
Her face heated at the thought of his lips discovering the rest of her body as
he began to kiss the side of her neck.
“How about a drink first?”
“Of course,” he answered when the elevator stopped at his floor.
They were in his apartment with their coats off within a minute. She instantly
fell in love the place. It was a loft style apartment that looked like a
comfortable bachelor pad. A chocolate brown couch with large cushions sat in
his living room area in front of a flat screen TV. A queen-sized bed with a
dark blue comforter was made in his bedroom area. What she loved the most was
the small Christmas tree decorated in silver and blue standing on a corner
table. He reclaimed her attention when his hand found hers and led her through
the two seat dining area over to his small kitchen.
Daniel picked her up and set her on the
butcher-block kitchen island, then gave her a soft kiss. “I’m not a big beer
drinker, but I do have some apple ale, if you’re interested. I always have some
on hand during the holidays.” He opened his refrigerator and pulled out two
green glass bottles.
She smiled when she caught a glimpse of the familiar label. “I love this brand.
Reggie got me hooked a few years ago.”
“Reggie?” he questioned before handing her an opened bottle.
She thought quickly. “He’s kind of a surrogate father. My dad passed away when
I was sixteen, and Reggie stepped in.”
“So, I don’t have any competition?” He raised his eyebrow and moved to stand
between her thighs.
“No.” She ran her fingertip across his clean-shaven jawline. “I haven’t been
interested in anyone in a long time.”
Daniel placed his hand on her hip, his
thumb caressing her through the thin material of her shirt. “I haven’t either.
If this is heading where I think it is, you should know I haven’t done . . . it
in a long time.”
“Really?” She understood why someone in her situation would abstain, but she
couldn’t believe a guy as gorgeous as Daniel hadn’t had women more than willing
to take a tumble in his bed.
He concentrated his gaze on where his thumb was moving across her hip. “I’ve
had problems with . . . unwanted attention. I haven’t felt enough of a
connection with someone to go further.” He lifted his chin to look in her eyes.
“Not until you anyway.”
CiCi took the bottle from his hand and
placed it with hers behind her. She moved her body forward a little bit so she
could wrap her legs around his waist. If she wanted things to go further, she
knew the moment to take a little initiative had arrived. “I think this is the
part when you show me your bedroom.”
About the Author
Lindsey
Gray dreamed of several different careers as a child. On the short list were
doctor, chef, and actress. None held her attention as much as putting pen to
paper and creating her own world through words. Since 2010, she's published
three novels and one short story with The Writer’s Coffee Shop Publishing
House.
In 2013, she went on her first self-publishing adventure to produce her
novella, “Fireworks”, and joined the ranks of Renaissance Romance
Publishing with her novella, “Holiday Cure for the Cursed.” Now, every Tuesday
night she talks about books, movies, television, music, food, and anything else
she can think of as the host of Gray Matters on TMVCafe.com.
A
mid-west native, Lindsey enjoys spending time with her husband and two
children, rooting for the Green Bay Packers, reading whatever she can get her
hands on, and making life interesting at every turn.
