    About this ebook

    A girl’s got to do, what a girl’s got to do. Ileana Dupree found that out the hard way when she lost her high paying job and then her boyfriend to a sugar momma. With bills coming due and no work, she did what no woman ever wants to do.When she is interviewed for a job, she thinks it’s just another guy needing arm candy for a Christmas Party. Boy was she ever wrong.

    Instead she is sent to the mansion home of the very sexy Casey Logan who lives a life of solitude and didn’t even know she was coming. Instead of sending her on her way, he asks her to stay and spend the holiday with him. In a room that looks like Christmas central and scorching chemistry between her and Casey, Ileana soon sees why he is alone and the hurt that has been done to a man who has nothing but good in his heart. Christmas brings the magic of love and new possibilities to this unlikely couple, but will it last into the new year and beyond?

      All i Want For Christmas Is You - Dahlia Rose

      Chapter One

      So your name is . . . Jeff left the question hanging for the young woman who sat in front of him to finish.

      Ileana, she supplied.

      The soft sultry tone to her voice thrilled him. She was gorgeous—light brown skin that looked as creamy as any chocolate he had ever seen, smooth dark hair that framed her face and fell down her back. But her eyes were what made him know she was the one. They were almond shaped and light brown, and she stared at him like she was looking into his soul. Saying nothing but those eyes would say everything when the time was right. Yes, she is perfect!

      Ileana, are you from here in Manhattan? Jeff sat back in his char and tapped his gold-embossed pen against his chin.

      I’m from Brooklyn. I come into the city when I need to.

      Do you mind going upstate for this?

      Ileana folded one smooth leg across the other and sat back in her chair. I go where the money takes me. How long will this be for?

      Just tonight. A car will take you up to Connecticut. Jeff handed her a card. Call the number when you are ready to come home, and they will pick you up.

      My fee is one thousand for the night. No sex, no trying to rough me up, Ileana said. I just provide company and that’s it. Do you understand? If anyone tries anything, I will go down fighting, and my friend will call the cops if she does not hear from me every few hours.

      I would have it no other way. Jeff smiled. Oh yes, she was the one—strong, smart, and brave. Just what was needed in a situation like this. Jeff reached into the desk and pulled out two wads of bills. Here is two thousand, and the car is waiting for you downstairs.

      She raised one elegant eyebrow at him. What makes you think I won’t bypass that car and go home with your money safely in my purse?

      Jeff leaned forward. I can tell you are not that type of person, and I had you thoroughly checked out before you even stepped into this office.

      Touché. Ileana inclined her head. So when will you be coming to Connecticut, and where will we be meeting up?

      Oh, my dear, I am a happily married man.

      Aren’t they all, Ileana replied. You’re still cute for an old guy.

      Jeff laughed. Why, thank you. I take that as a compliment. But in my case, it’s true. I am very happy in my marriage. Your lovely company is not for me but for my friend who needs a little holiday cheer.

      And who might this person be to whom I am providing company?

      His name is Casey, and you will be going to his house, Jeff explained. Off you go. Enjoy the night, and thank you in advance for your services.

      Ileana took the money up from the mahogany table and slipped it into her clutch purse. Good night, and I’ll make sure your friend enjoys his night.

      She walked out the door, curvaceous hips that could tempt any man moving in rhythm. She threw him a smile over her shoulder before she closed the door with a soft click. Jeff opened the drawer of his desk and pulled out a cigar. After lighting it, he sat back in his chair with a grin before he took a deep pull of his Habana. Casey wouldn’t know what hit him when the lovely Ms. Ileana graced his door. It was about time someone shook that boy up. With snowflakes falling outside the office windows in an exclusive high rise, Jeff chuckled softly and waited for the fireworks to begin.

      * * * *

      How did I end up here . . . now? Ileana sighed as she looked out into the cold winter’s night. The interior of the town car was silent, sleek like the rich people who owned her. Outside, multicolored lights twinkled on houses, and the festive decorations ordained their lawns. Here she was, thirty, young, beautiful, and heading to be the escort for the night of some old guy who lived alone. A gift from a friend who thought he needed some company. Ileana grimaced, knowing full well that a day would come when she could not just say she was an escort. She would have to start giving them her body as well. Something she held sacred would be given away so she could make rent.

      The thought ran through her head again, and she felt tears sting her eyes. How the hell did I end up here? She knew how. The cost to even lease her apartment had skyrocketed after the damn recession hit. Losing her job, losing her man, everything just seemed to hit at once. With nothing else to lose at that point, Ileana’s friend suggested that she use her looks, and this persona was born. Cool, calm, and collected on the outside, while on the inside, she was dying with shame. If her mom and dad ever knew what she had to do to make money, they would hang their heads in disappointment. Not their daughter, not the one who had gone to
