Christmas Surrender

Three wild kids… check.

A mortgage and no money to pay it… double check.
Christmas gifts acquired… not even close.
A job interview that’ll hopefully save my ass… currently in progress.

How did life get so complicated?
Oh, I know… my ex-husband left me for a younger woman.
Determined to turn my life around, I seek the help of my brother’s best friend.
A big, inked, broad shouldered man that used to be the object of all my fantasies.
I need to stay focused on work and keep the inn running smoothly,
I can’t keep slipping into thoughts of how Hank’s big rough hands could make everything better.
Yet, here I am, my mind repeating every filthy thing we could do.
Someone send help, I think I’m losing control.

Author’s Note: This story features a possessive, obsessive, touch‑her‑and‑die older hero, an age gap, and a forbidden dynamic that gets messy fast. Ultra-high heat, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA.
