CHRISTMAS WITH THE ALEXANDERS
Kaylee Wilhelm knows what she wants for Christmas—for Elliott Alexander to notice her.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t like her much, so she’s spending the holidays with her disapproving
parents.
Elliott’s finally in the position to come home for good. Home means bittersweet memories and
the only woman who makes him feel things he isn’t ready for.
When Kay’s car skids out of control on Christmas Eve, she’s forced to reach out to the only
man she trusts to save her. Eli’s a protector, so she knows he’ll come for her, but this Christmas Kay
is hoping for a little bit more.

ELLIOTT ALEXANDER CONSIDERED himself a pretty good sport. He wasn’t overly
sensitive and could take a joke as well as the next guy. But he was on the verge of knocking his
younger brother upside the head if he didn’t
shut up.
“So, you opened the door and she was just standing there?” Nick glanced at him, a twinkle in
his eye. “She wasn’t peering in the windows like a stalker, was she?”
Their friend Matt Simmons was telling them about his final week at Eli’s house last summer
while he was in physical therapy. Now he was happily coupled up with his therapist, Penny, and
living in New Haven again.
Matt shrugged and Penny laughed along with them. “All I know is I’d been doing some yard
work and cleaning because I didn’t want to leave the place a mess. On my way out, I opened the door
and there she was, standing on the porch. Judging by the way she was dressed, it wasn’t me she was
expecting to open the door.”
Eli gritted his teeth as their howls of laughter continued. His youngest brother, Jackson,
clamped a hand on his shoulder in solidarity. Either that or he was trying to hold him back so he
wouldn’t strangle one of them.
“How did we get on this topic again?” Eli shot Matt a disgruntled look, but his friend didn’t
seem daunted at all. He’d lost his intimidation factor it seemed because they were all having a hell of
a time making fun of him.
“Wait,
by the way she was dressed?
What exactly was she wearing? Or
not
wearing?” Nick
added.
His sister-in-law, Raina, walked up and pinched Nick’s arm hard enough to make his brother
jump. “What did you just say?”
Eli watched in amusement as Nick’s whole demeanor changed. His normally smooth younger
brother turned into a total wuss when his gorgeous wife was around. Raina had a successful career as
a model and he could see why. She was far too thin for his taste, but her light brown skin and wild
curly hair gave her an exotic look. Best of all, she was something of a ballbuster. It was always a joy
to watch her handle his brother.
Nick held up his hands. “Oh, hey, baby. Matt was telling us about his last week staying in Eli’s
house and all the women knocking on the door.”
He had hoped Raina would corral his brother’s antics, but that hope died when her eyes lit up.
“Eli? I never knew you were such a ladies’ man,” she teased.
Elliott squashed the urge to growl. Half of his brother’s fun in teasing him was watching him
get more and more pissed off. “First of all, it was one woman.
One.
Second of all, I have no idea who
