A Naughty Noelle — Ann Bruce

Two days to Christmas and Noelle Mason is in danger of becoming a New York City statistic when a walking cliché -- tall, dark and unshaven -- rushes in to rescue her. Thus, when he literally and painfully bumps into her just hours later, bleeding and with bad men chasing after him, she decides to return the favor.

His cover blown by someone on the inside, Sergio Ramirez knows hospitals, the station house and even his home are off limits to him. As should be the woman determined to help him, but it's snowing and cold outside, and Noelle's so very willing to share her body heat and work with him to generate even more.

Then the bad men catch up with him -- and this time they have guns.
