Vivienne

They say whatever you’re doing at midnight sets the tone for your whole year. Vivienne really hopes that’s not true… unless it is.

Her New Year’s Eve is already circling the drain. A viral scandal has torpedoed her reputation, her father is breathing down her neck, and a museum full of judgmental donors is the last place she wants to be.

Cue Brooks Hayes.

The museum's Head of Security. Tall. Serious. Handsome in a broody, yet adorable way. Maddeningly unimpressed by her. The most attractive man she’s ever wanted to strangle.

Their first interaction is a disaster. Their second is worse, ending with the doors to an off-limits exhibit sealing shut and locking them inside.

Worst New Year’s Eve ever? Or the best mistake she’ll ever make?

Brooks

Brooks Hayes believes in rules. Order. And keeping his head down and his emotions locked up tight.

Then Vivienne Armitage walks into his museum.

She’s glittering trouble and defiance. Recently disgraced. Wildly unapologetic. And absolutely determined to test every ounce of his self-control. She’s the last person he should want … and the only one he can’t seem to keep his eyes off.

When fate traps them alone, overnight, with no way out until morning, the sexual tension crackling between them is at risk of snapping.

Even though Brooks knows better than to cross the line, midnight is coming.

And some rules are made to be broken.

*chefs kiss* This is a short story that will leave you wanting more and more. Like, a whole year more of short stories as tantalizing as this one. You can tell how the characters warm up to each other throughout the story. In more ways then one. The characters have back stories! In a short story that is rare, but yet Cedar manages to sprinkle it in. I can't wait for more!
