But this holiday season, Holly was especially irresistible, and there was no way I could say no to my desires any longer. I find myself breaking the vow I made with myself not to be with her. Holly's learned to use her womanly charm, and the moment those lace panties found their way under my pillow, I was a goner. There was no way I was keeping my distance, and I’d know how sweet Holly really is. Sugar Plum is a father's best friend romance. Sugary-sweet and self-indulgent, this novella is the perfect bite-sized treat to enjoy on a cold winter evening!
