Tessa Stoneman hasn’t been able to get long-time friend and business partner Nicholas Boone out of her head since they shared a single kiss in college. Even when she dated Nicholas’s best friend. Now that she’s giving up her position at GameNerdz to strike out on her own—and now that she’s single—maybe it’s the right time to see if there’s still something between them.

Nicholas knows once Tessa leaves the company she helped found, they might drift apart. Before she starts her own company in the new year, he wants to woo the woman he fell in love with during college. So he poses as her Secret Santa, gifts her with items from the song “Santa Baby,” and plans a big reveal at the company holiday party. But when his best friend wants to rekindle his romance with Tessa, will Nicholas lose his last chance?

•••••••••••••••

Does an honorable man ignore the “bro code”, no poaching your BFF’s ex-GF, when said ex is about to walk out of his life (Ok, they’ll no longer work together, but these are the actions of a desperate man!) If he asked for a Christmas miracle he might!? Secret Santa Baby by Robin Covington makes you want to believe.

Tonight, at the party, she’d find a way to make Nick see that they were meant to be together. She’d spent years with the wrong man, but if she played her cards right, she had enough time to make sure she spent Christmas with the right one.

Things are finally headed forward…toward love…for Nick and Tessa. Those lingering gazes mean something more. Tessa’s moving upward professionally and Nick’s, well, he’s already the co-owner of a thriving company…he…just can’t let Tessa go without admitting his feelings (presenting her with the little, black box aside).

These two have been friends for years. Co-workers for nearly the same. What’s the hold-up? Tessa dated Nick’s best friend, and co-owner, Damien. Complicated much? Insert the bro code that’s kept Nick immobile. Bah humbug! Tessa and Nick have been in love from afar for far too long.

Will Nick bow out gracefully, allow Damien to right his wrong, or fight for Tessa, the only woman he’s ever wanted?!

A sweet, second-chance, sexy, seasonal swoon!
