Restraint

His corruption. His addiction. His Starlet.

He's a high profile CEO, she's a virgin... and his best friend's younger sister. He really shouldn't be fantasizing about unwrapping her under the Christmas tree.

It's been almost a decade since Andrew Newton returned to the small town where he grew up. But he's not missing his best friend, Mercy's, wedding-it's time to face his past, so he can move on with his future.

Susan Rice envies the exotic life her older sister Mercy has lived. She can't even get up enough courage for ballet company try-outs.

Andrew promises Mercy he won't corrupt her sister. But when Susan begs him for help overcoming her stage fright, he can't say no. He doesn't expect her to be trouble and temptation, wrapped in an innocent package.

Being home summons long-buried demons from Andrew's past, and the more time he spends with Susan, the less he wants his darkness to touch her.

Susan's going to need a Christmas miracle to show Andrew his scars don't define him. But the only things Santa may be bringing this year are fresh wounds and broken hearts.
