NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHORS VI KEELAND AND PENELOPE WARD BRING YOU THREE SEXY SHORT STORIES TO HEAT UP YOUR HOLIDAYS!

SEXY SCROOGE 

The Last thing I needed was to share an Uber with Scrooge – a cocky lawyer on a snowy Christmas Eve. It was bad enough I was on my way to court for the gift of eviction.

Although maybe today wouldn’t turn out so bad after all.

The Sexy Scrooge and I started to connect as we trudged our way through a storm. Our ride was about to end. But would I ever see him again?

THE MERRY MISTAKE 

Note to self: Ask Santa for glasses this year. When I accidentally mistook a gorgeous man resting outside my building for a homeless person in need of a lunch, we got into it. I’d only been trying to do a good deed around the holidays, but he called me righteous. I called him something far worse. If only I didn’t have to see him again. But fate had other plans.

KISSMAS IN NEW YORK 

It was just supposed to be a simple kiss with a stranger. I’d done it to prove a point – that I hadn’t lost my sense of adventure. But you know what they about the best laid plans. Maybe I’d get something in my stocking after all this holiday season. . .

Scrooged features three holiday themed short stories: Sexy Scrooge, The Merry Mistake, and Kissmas in New York.

Sexy Scrooge follows Meredith as she shares an Uber with a Sexy Scrooge (AKA a hot lawyer). In typical Keeland and Ward fashion, Sexy Scrooge begins with a hilarious opening that breaks the ice between the main characters immediately. Sexy Scrooge is a quick and fun story with the perfect amount of angst. Passionflix has adapted Sexy Scrooge into a holiday quickie that releases December 4th, 2020.

The Merry Mistake follows Piper as she tries to do a good deed, but is called out for it. Again, it’s a cute and quick read though I wish it were a chapter or two longer. I’m very excited for Passionflix’s adaptation that releases December 25th, 2020.

Kissmas in New York follows Margo as she completes a dare to kiss a stranger in a coffee shop. Kissmas in New York is the perfect length. It’s a funny and sexy holiday story.
