Publication date: September 29th 2014
Purchase: Amazon
Mega wealthy Tanner Storm has it all- great looks, wealth, and nothing holding him down. Then, his father decides to play games with him and his siblings, handing him an apartment complex in downtown Seattle that Tanner wants nothing to do with. When the conditions of his father's terms ensure that he do something with this building or lose his inheritance, he at first thinks, so what. But, then it becomes a challenge that he has to accept, because he's never before backed down. He decides to tear down the building and start fresh with something far more appealing that will add to his already fat wallet.
The only problem is that the residents don't want to leave, and under the contract with his father, he can't force them out. When he ends up before Judge Kragle from all the complaints made against him, the judge decides the best punishment for him will be two weeks of living in the very apartment complex he despises and two weeks of community service, playing Santa Claus at the mall. Perfect! This is not the Christmas of his dream.
The plot thickens when he meets his neighbor, Kyla and falls into instant lust. Will this turn out to be Tanner's secret angel, or will he forget all about her the minute he leaves?
Enjoy this Anderson Christmas Novel from NYT Best Selling Author Melody Anne who wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and an even happier New Year.
Excerpt #1
"Mr. Storm, you may think that you're above the law, but I guarantee you that you are not! This is the fourth time I've seen you in my courtroom in the last three months. It's become a bad habit, one that I don't appreciate. I don't care how much you're paying your group of attorneys. It's not getting you out of trouble this time."
"Your Honor--"
The judge did not take kindly to Tanner Storm's interruption. "Do not make me add contempt of court to your list of crimes," Judge Kragle said. "The conditions of your building are unacceptable. I'm absolutely appalled that you'd leave women and children with no heat, with no working elevators, and with leaky pipes. I've thought long and hard about your punishment--"
Excerpt #2
After a week in the hospital, she'd been released, with nowhere to go where she felt safe. After dropping out of school - she couldn't face anything or anyone - she'd found herself at this apartment, both her place of refuge and a spot where she hoped to heal someday.
She knew it wasn't her fault that her family was gone. But why was she the only one to live? Why wasn't it her mother, who did charity work, or her father, who made a difference in the world through his teaching? Why couldn't her brother have survived? He'd graduated from high school the previous June and planned to join the military after college. He'd have been an officer and a gentleman.
Excerpt #3
Kyla jumped at the sound of Tanner's quiet voice. They hadn't said much at all since she'd returned to his apartment to find him ready to go. And now she'd been so lost in her thoughts that she'd forgotten his very existence.
Was this a mistake, she wondered, coming here on Christmas morning? If so, when would be the right time? If she was going to this, now was as good a time as any.
Because her fingers were shaking too badly to insert the house key in the lock, Tanner gently took it from her hand, set it in the keyhole, and turned. The sound of the long-unused lock clicking open seemed louder to Kyla than a rifle shot. He didn't touch the knob, just waited to see what she would do next.
