Baby, It's Cold Outside

by Catherine Cooper

Overview

Sometimes love is found where you least expect it...

A saucy Christmas novella to heat up your winter nights!

It's the end of Clara's first term at uni, and she's feeling lonely. Not that she should; she has great flatmates, one of whom even appears to fancy her. At a drink-laden Christmas party at their house, things start to heat up for Clara. But it's not Jesse's touch that makes her quiver, despite his efforts. Through the haze of cocktails and fatigue, Clara finds herself in a soft but passionate embrace with Lia - Jesse's visiting sister.

At first Clara is mortified - she isn't gay! And judging by Lia's stories from her own life at uni, neither is she. But then why does their connection feel so natural and passionate? And how come merely thinking about Lia's soft, sweet lips makes Clara want to rush to kiss them again? Is it just a crush... or something more?

BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE is part of Hot Key Books' exclusive new novella list, and one of a series of five available this Christmas. Unlock your naughty side!

Read an Excerpt

I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. Lia had kissed me. I put my fingers to my lips, remembering how her lips had felt on mine. So soft. So different to Will. I stroked my neck where she had touched it and remembered how it had made me feel, feeling that same gentle throb again between my legs.

Stop it, I told myself. I put my hands over my eyes and pressed hard. My head was hurting and I desperately needed some water. I sat up gingerly and put my feet on the floor. I couldn’t stay in bed forever.

Lia seemed totally fine about what happened, I told myself over and over in the shower. Not bothered. No big deal, she said. She wasn’t embarrassed. Why should you be? Why be so uptight about it? It was just a kiss. It didn’t mean anything. However nice it felt. Nothing had changed.

I got out of the shower and stared at myself in the mirror. ‘No big deal,’ I mouthed at myself.

Yeah, right.
