This Christmas

by

Harper Rae James

Knox,

The stockings are hung, the lights are low,
The kids are gone so it’s time for show.
A hint of lace, a playful dare,
A "reindeer game"… one we can share.

A clue in your pocket, one more by the bed,
The last leads to where our fire once led.
Follow the trail, unwrap what you see,
And maybe you’ll find the gift is... me.

—Ana

Dear Reader,
Welcome to a spicy little holiday escape where the cocoa is hot, the games are naughty, and the emotions run just as deep as the snowdrifts!

Before you dive in, here’s a little festive forewarning:
This story contains steamy moments that include playful sex games (yes, there may be christmas lights involved), intimate photos, and some holiday drinks that pack more than just a punch—they come with side effects. Amid the sparkle and spice, the story also gently explores the emotional complexities of life and love after kids, because even Santa needs a moment to reflect now and then.

This book blends heat with heart, laughter with longing, and yes—plenty of adult cheer. Please proceed with caution, you’re the most important part of Christmas.

With holiday mischief,

Harper Rae

About the Author

Harper Rae James

I write spicy, emotion-forward romance for readers who crave longing, second chances, and love that refuses to stay buried.


My stories live in the quiet space between almost and always, where feelings simmer, restraint fractures, and intimacy is earned. Expect mutual pining, he-falls-first energy, and heat that hits harder because it means something.


If you love slow burns with real payoff, characters who ache before they heal, and stories that linger long after the last page, you're in the right place.
