      Christmas kisses with the earl...

      Gabriel Derwent, Earl of Wycliffe, needs an heir. With no wife or child of his own, he hires Etta Mason to research his family tree and find one!

      Single mom Etta isn’t used to things going her way. So she can’t believe her luck when her new boss whisks her away from her humdrum life to spend Christmas with him! She may be cynical about fairy-tale endings, but standing in Gabriel’s arms, snowflakes softly falling, dare she hope his achingly romantic kisses could mean so much more?

      ‘I’ve tried dating and...it doesn’t work out.’

      ‘And I’ve told you you’re dating the wrong men.’ Gabriel surveyed her. ‘I bet you’re going for nice, average men with nice respectable jobs and...’

      ‘What’s wrong with that?’ Color climbed Etta’s cheekbones and she narrowed her eyes.

      ‘Physical attraction is important too.’

      ‘So what do you suggest?’

      ‘That you date someone you feel attracted to in a physical way—where there’s a spark.’

      ‘I don’t seem to meet guys like that. Maybe that gene is missing, too.’

      ‘I don’t believe that.’

      The last berry slipped on to the ring and he stood up and held the mistletoe circle, then attached it to the waiting ring.

      ‘Look up.’

      A hesitation, and then she did as he asked, her face tipped up toward him, her delicate angled features bathed in the flicker of light.

      ‘Kiss me and I’ll show you,’ he said. ‘The ball’s in your court. Literally.’

      His throat was constricted, his breath held in his lungs, and then slowly she rose to her feet and stepped forward until she was flush against him. Hesitantly her hands came up and looped around his neck; her fingers touched his nape and desire shuddered through his body. She stood on tiptoe and touched her lips against his in sweet sensation.

      NINA MILNE has always dreamed of writing for Mills & Boon Cherish—ever since as a child she played libraries with her mother’s stacks of Mills & Boon romances. On her way to this dream Nina acquired an English degree, a hero of her own, three gorgeous children and—somehow!—an accountancy qualification. She lives in Brighton and has filled her house with stacks of books—her very own real library.

      GABRIEL DERWENT STARED at his reflection in the opulently framed mirror of the lavish hotel room—just to make sure he hadn’t inadvertently put his shirt on inside out or his boxers on his head.
