Falling for the Christmas Thief
Updated at Nov 20, 2024, 07:30
When Callie's stepmother throws her out of the house on the freezing Christmas night, she's left stranded on the street. Desperate, alone and with no other family to turn to in the freezing cold, she calls her best friend Rossy, who works at an exclusive stripper club.    Rossy has no problem hosting Callie at the club, but Callie has never been to a club before, let alone stay in one. She's fascinated and intimidated by the bare-chested huge men walking around in nothing but tight leather briefs in the club. She can barely control her pounding heart, desperate for a way to get out of there quickly. Her plan is simple: borrow enough money from Rossy to take her to New York to look for grandparents she has never met.    Unbeknownst to her, Sebastian Vettel, the owner of Edel’s Lair stripper club, has set his eyes on her. Amused by her innocent, timid nature, he keeps a watchful eye on her, leaving Callie anxious yet strangely drawn to his calm, mysterious yet inviting aura. Offering protection, something she had not experienced since the loss of her parents.    To him, Callie is a fragile little rabbit who has just walked into the lion's den. He's intrigued by Callie's hesitant boldness as she gulps shot after shot of tequila with her seemingly drunk friend. The cold smirk on his lips spreads darkly when she stumbles her way to him, impulsively planting her lips on his. With a final swig of his whiskey, he sweeps Callie off her feet and throws her on his shoulders, carrying her to his private suite. This Christmas holiday leaves Callie and Sebastian changed in ways they never thought possible.
